Audeze MM-100 Manny Marroquin Open Back Headphones
True Audeze Studio Performance, Made Accessible.
The MM-100 brings the sonic philosophy of the award-winning MM-500 into a more affordable, everyday-studio platform. Tuned with the same production-first mindset championed by Manny Marroquin, the MM-100 delivers a neutral, mix-ready frequency response, fast planar speed, and the kind of clarity engineers rely on when working in home studios, mobile rigs, or tight acoustic environments. It’s a professional tool designed to deliver reliability, accuracy, and honest sound without the flagship price tag.
Why Creators Choose This Headphone
Neutral, honest, and translation-focused
The MM-100 provides a clear, accurate view of your mix — exposing low-end buildup, transient issues, masking, vocal sibilance and stereo imbalance. Its tuning is ideal for creators who want their mixes to translate across speakers, headphones and streaming services without guesswork.
Planar magnetic drivers with professional speed
Featuring Audeze’s ultra-thin diaphragms and efficient magnet arrays, the MM-100 offers fast transient response, low distortion, and impressive detail retrieval. These characteristics make it easier to fine-tune dynamics, EQ decisions, and time-based effects with confidence.
Designed with Manny Marroquin for real studio workflows
Audeze and Manny developed the MM-100 to support modern production environments — from home studios to full-scale facilities. It reflects the real-world needs of engineers who move between different rooms, locations, and systems.
Comfort built for long editing and mixing sessions
The MM-100’s suspension headband distributes weight evenly, while the deep pads provide a secure, comfortable seal. The open-back design reduces heat buildup, making it suitable for long sessions where focus and comfort are equally important.
Efficient and easy to drive
Unlike older flagship planars, the MM-100 is highly efficient. It works beautifully with USB audio interfaces, laptop rigs, portable DACs, and home studio setups — no exotic amplifier required. This makes it ideal for creators who work in multiple locations.
