Audeze MM-100SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve

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

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the Audeze MM-100 has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
