The verdict

While the Audeze MM-100 offers great build quality and planar magnetic drivers at a reasonable price, these headphones fall flat in performance. Some mixing engineers will appreciate the focus on mids, but most people should look elsewhere.

Audeze MM-100SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve

Measured frequency response (dB) against the SoundGuys house target — the dashed curve. The closer the measured line tracks the target, the more neutral the tuning; peaks ride above the target, dips fall below it.
