Audeze Releases MM-100 Professional Studio Headphones

Audeze, the premium planar headphone manufacturer, announced its latest headphone design made in collaboration with 17-time Grammy-winning engineer/producer Manny Marroquin. The new MM-100 are headphones intended to bring the "studio sound for everyone," with a more consumer-friendly price point. This is the second time Audeze will be teaming up with Manny Marroquin following the launch of the MM-500 in 2022, which immediately received a warming welcome from recording and studio communities.

Audeze, the planar magnetic headphone manufacturer based in California, unveiled the new MM-500 headphones purpose-built for professional monitoring, allowing audio engineers and music producers to have the same reference anywhere they need. Unveiled at NAMM 2022, the new MM-500 headphones are part of a planned Manny Marroquin Signature Series, carrying the name of the Grammy-winning engineer/producer, which Audeze appointed as Head of Professional Products, focusing on creating innovative new audio tools for creators and professionals.

A new documentary presented by Harman, featuring Quincy Jones, Mike Shinoda, Hans Zimmer, A.R. Rahman, Manny Marroquin and others, addresses audio compression’s impact on the listening experience. The documentary aims to promote the audiotioning of music using proper speakers and non-compressed sources.
