Why the Audeze MM-100 Might Change the Way You Mix
They say you can’t mix on headphones… I say, try the Audeze MM-100 . Designed in collaboration with Grammy-winning engineer Manny Marroquin, these wired open-back headphones are changing the game — and for £399, they might just surprise you.
Comfort & Build Quality
From gel-filled earpads to the adjustable leather headband, these feel premium straight out the box. Even long mixing sessions don’t leave your ears sore, and the build quality gives you the confidence that they’ll last.
Open-Back Design & Soundstage
The open-back design gives an incredible sense of space. Unlike closed-back headphones, you can hear depth, width, and separation that translates surprisingly well to speakers.
How They Compare to Other Studio Headphones
I’ve used a few decent options, and honestly, these MM-100s hold their own. They give clarity and detail at a fraction of the price of more “traditional” studio headphones.
Could These Replace Your Monitors?
In some situations, absolutely. For quick mixes, reference sessions, or small spaces where monitors aren’t practical, these deliver a reliable and accurate sound.
