Hear What the Pros Hear
The MM-500's 90mm planar magnetic drivers deliver breathtaking detail and lightning-fast transient response.

From warm, controlled bass to lifelike midrange presence and shimmering high frequencies, these headphones are tuned to inspire total confidence in your listening decisions-on or off the clock.
Built for the Studio, Tuned for Life
Engineered and handcrafted in Audeze's California workshop, the MM-500 combines precision-milled aluminum housings, ultra-thin planar diaphragms, and Fluxor™ magnetic arrays for vanishingly low distortion and superior speed. The result is a headphone that remains comfortable and fatigue-free during long sessions, with a sound signature that translates seamlessly across professional playback systems.

The MM-500 includes a 6.3mm (¼") TRS cable, designed for direct connection to professional audio interfaces, headphone amplifiers, and DACs.
