What Makes the MM-500 So Special?

These headphones are perfect for a busy music producer traveling from city to city. The MM-500 brings you studio-quality audio wherever you go. You can continue to mix down your latest project on an airplane, in the car, or while sipping a margarita on the beach. 

Previously the Audeze LCD-X was the go-to for many creators in this space. However, the MM-500 boasts a lighter-weight design, new technology, and legendary insight from one of the most successful music producers in the audio game.

Design of the MM-500 Headphones

The look and feel of these headphones are sleek and stylish.  They look very similar in design to the Audeze LCD-5. However, they trade in the acetate rings for grey metallic rings and a matching grey spring steel headband adorned with Manny’s initials.

The black and grey color scheme delivers a low-key aesthetic that will fit well with most people's color palette. An added benefit of the grey metal rings vs. the acetate rings is that fingerprints become much less of an issue. 

The ear pads of the MM-500 are bigger and plusher than the LCD-5 pads. This means the MM-500’s are comfortable and lightweight.
