AudezeMM-100 Professional Open-Back Headphones, Planar Magentic, Wired

Ok let me start by saying I’m listening to music as I write this review.. These are studio tuned so out of the box they sound very good but with EQ sound incredible for music listening and not just for mixing/ mastering. I have owned LCD3’s in the past but eventually sold them because of their darker upper treble. I loved the soundstage and bass but to my ears they lacked life. Enter the much lower priced MM100. I did a lot of research about their strengths and weaknesses and studied their frequency response graph. What I saw were several easy fixes. These now go head to head with my Sennheiser HD 800 cans. Super fast and resolving, no distortion after EQ with deep articulate bass and smooth highs. The midrange was always good but now even better. In my opinion outside of soundstage size I prefer them to the much pricier LCD3. Yes the only caveat is a very average sized soundstage compared to over $1000.00 open backs however the sound signature punches WAY ABOVE their price. They can sound great with almost all music genres. I think you can tell I highly recommend the MM100 with EQ.. would still consider them without given their technical merits.Anyone interested in my settings just ask.

Very strange headphones. First I'll talk about why I returned them. They have a very strange adjustment system with little buttons instead of just being able to adjust perfectly to the size of your head you have to make quarter inch adjustments on either the left or right. The problem is with my particular head even one adjustment took them from too big to too small making them rub either the top or bottom of my ear making them very uncomfortable. I was able to put a little padding under my head to get them to go up a little bit which made them fit perfectly but I don't feel like I should have to have a paper towel on top of my head when I listen to music to make my headphones fit properly. Moving on to the sound I thought they were pretty awesome. Very crisp and clear. The only real complaint is that they were very kind of flat sounding and not very Dynamic and fun to listen with. Super super analytical. The Sound Stage was incredibly disappointing as well it was very three point sound coming from left Center and right and all very much in your head and doesn't seem to expand much Beyond. This was incredibly disappointing just from reading how realistic and huge Audeze headphones usually sound. I may have to upgrade to LCD3x with better adjustments to see how those sounds but for now I think my sundara's were a little more what I was looking for sound wise with a little more playfulness with all that detail still there and a little more holographic sound so to speak.

These headphones does it all very well balanced , good bass have the lcd x and for 400 better definition and plenty of it flat set no eq Audeze ea well , the rest is perfect , the fit is comfort love the carry bag … best. Value sound grate float my boat . Use mojo 2 qedlx ,

I really enjoy the reference style sound, came from HD6XX and AKG K712 Pro's. My first planar magnetic. Being driven by a Schiit Hel+ sounds incredible for music, movies and almost a cheat code for FPS games. I am able to hear people much further away than before and with more accuracy.

Superb. Built like a tank, fantastic clarity and punch. Benefits from EQ correction, as all pro audio headphones do. They're voiced rather midrange forward, but after calibration my mixes on these translates perfectly to all other playback mediums. I also own the Slate VSX system and a pair of Kali IN-8's and each have their respective strengths. But the level of detail in these headphones is spectacular for this price point.

I have received a defective headphones. No sound at all.

The sound from these is fine and the overall build quality of the cans is good.the headband is trash it is rigid and does not conform to your head. the stock cable is trash super thin and long cable with a quarter inch end. i have not decided if I am replacing the pads yet. audeze claims it is real leather pads. it feels like vegan leather to me. i have lcd 2's with real leather and it feels nothing like them and my ears get hot wearing the mm-100's. in addition I have wide ears. my ears touch the mesh inside the cup that covers the driver. it is not a big deal but it does rub with extended use. generally these are a good set of cans but ,for the price they are. needing a new strap, cable, and pads to make them comfortable/usable, makes them a questionable choice.

Love the sound the bass is so big and tight .I got a great mix just hsing this and the app reveal
