Audeze MM-520: Professional planar magnetic headphones for mixing and recording

The Audeze MM-520 are reference-grade open-back headphones developed for mixing, recording, and professional critical listening. Designed in collaboration with Manny Marroquin, an 18-time Grammy Award-winning producer and mix engineer, they offer high accuracy, deep and controlled bass, and exceptionally faithful midrange reproduction. Thanks to their 90 mm magneto-planar drivers and Audeze’s advanced acoustic technologies, the MM-520s are designed to allow sound engineers and producers to accurately evaluate every detail of the mix and make decisions that will translate reliably to other playback systems.

An Audeze Studio Reference for Mixing and Critical Listening

The MM-520s were developed to provide a reliable monitoring reference even outside the traditional studio environment, with the goal of bringing the listening experience of professional monitors in an acoustically treated room to a variety of workspaces. The balanced and transparent response makes it easy to detect the subtlest variations in equalization, compression, stereo imaging, and soundstage depth. This is why the Audeze MM-520 is a tool designed for producers, musicians, and sound engineers who require accurate monitoring.

Audeze Magnetoplanar Technology with 90 mm Drivers

The Audeze MM-520 drivers incorporate Fluxor™ magnets, ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragms, and Fazor™ waveguides—technologies developed to improve linearity, reduce distortion, and optimize sound wave propagation.

SLAM™ technology for controlled bass and natural mids

Audeze SLAM™ technology helps further refine the MM-520’s acoustic response, delivering tighter, deeper, and more articulate low frequencies without compromising the clarity and naturalness of the midrange. This combination allows for precise analysis of fundamental elements of a production, from the balance of low frequencies to the positioning of instruments in the mix.

Audeze MM-520 open-back headphones for a wide, natural soundstage

The open-back, circumaural design helps create a spacious soundstage and a natural presentation—features particularly well-suited for editing, mixing, and critical monitoring. The MM-520 also maintains extremely low distortion levels even at high sound pressure levels, delivering accurate reproduction during the most demanding work sessions.

Comfort and magnetic ear pads for long studio sessions

The memory foam ear pads are designed to provide stable and comfortable support during long recording or mixing sessions. The magnetic attachment system allows you to quickly remove the ear cups for cleaning or replacement, making it easier to maintain the headphones over time.
