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.

✓Liked: Build quality, Low impedance

✕Could be better: Heavy, Limited sizing options, No 3.5mm adapter included, Over-emphasis on mids
