For years top audio professionals worldwide have relied on Audeze headphones like the LCD-X and MM-500. MM-100 instantly transforms your space into a studio, putting you between a pair of industry-trusted monitors that consistently deliver the sound and emotions the artist intended. Take the room out of the equation, trust the MM-100.

Hear deeper into every mix, and don't let a single detail go unnoticed thanks to the industry-leading driver technology packed into MM-100. Expect pinpoint precision and ultralow distortion from MM-100's newly designed planar magnetic drivers. Built with the same exacting dedication as our flagship LCD-5, and featuring our patented waveguides, magnet arrays, and diaphragms, MM-100 raises the bar on sound quality in its class.

MM-100 is designed to deliver effortless comfort, even during your longest sessions. Relax as the supple gel-filled earpads cradle your ears, and the adjustable suspension strap feels feather-light for hours.

Work easily around your instrument, computer, or console thanks to MM-100's single-sided cable, which can be conveniently connected to either side of the headphone. When it's time to hit the road, MM-100 folds flat for travel or storage inside the included soft cover gig bag.

MM-100 is crafted to stand up to the rigors of life, whether it takes you from the studio to the road, from home to school, or from the office to live performance. Every pair is hand-assembled and tested in our Southern California workshop to ensure it fits and sounds right. MM-100's lightweight, premium chassis features magnesium yokes and grilles and a spring-steel headband.

Planar magnetic technology differs from traditional dynamic cone designs by suspending a thin, lightweight diaphragm within a parallel plane comprised of an array of magnets. The diaphragm is much lighter when compared to a traditional dynamic cone and has a printed circuit spread across a thin film substrate on the surface of the diaphragm as opposed to a cone attached to a voice coil. When the audio signal from the amplifier reaches the circuit, it magnetizes the diaphragm within the field and produces sound.

The benefits of a planar magnetic design include faster transient response due to the lighter diaphragm, a wide frequency with low distortion, better heat dissipation, fewer moving parts for greater durability without the kind of sonic degradation for which cones are susceptible, and better amplifier compatibility because the circuit functions as an almost entirely restive load.

The magnetic structure creates a uniform magnetic field across the diaphragm without the need for additional ferromagnetic material traditionally found in other planar headphones to remove magnetic interference, reduce harmonic distortion, and lower overall weight. The headphones also feature Audeze's patent-pending Fazor elements that guide and manage the flow of sound through the earcups for a more enveloping sound stage and improved frequency extension.
