Audeze MM-500 Manny Marroquin w/ Carry Case & 6.3mm Cable

The Audeze MM-500 was conceived and refined in one of the world’s most acclaimed studios and designed in collaboration with Grammy Award–winning producer and mixer Manny Marroquin. Built as a professional tool for engineers, producers, and artists, the MM-500 delivers mixes that translate reliably across systems while preserving the emotion of the music. Lighter than the iconic LCD-X, it features a sleek, durable chassis made of machined aluminum and spring steel, ensuring all-day comfort. With its planar magnetic drivers, trusted mix translation, and compatibility with virtually any audio interface or console, the MM-500 brings studio-quality sound anywhere—whether you’re working in the control room, referencing on the go, or enjoying late-night listening. Used to mix Kendrick Lamar’s #1 album “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” at Larrabee Studios, the MM-500 stands as a serious reference headphone for professionals at every level.
