Audeze is one of the biggest names in planar-magnetic headphones. Instead of using the regular dynamic speaker drivers in their headphones, Audeze uses the more expensive method of using thin sheets of material to vibrate and create a sound that some people much prefer to dynamic headphones.

Today, Audeze has announced its lightest and most affordable full-size open-back headphones. Based on the company’s highly successful MM-500 headphones, Audeze claims the MM-100 headphones deliver “accurate, lifelike sound and easygoing comfort.”
The new MM-100 headphones use Audeze’s 90mm planar-magnetic drivers, long championed by music lovers and audio professionals. The efficient and low-impedance drivers mean the MM-100 headphones are easy to drive using almost any audio source, whether a Digital Audio Player or a proper hi-fi system.

The headphones feature a newly designed chassis made from premium materials, including magnesium and aluminum. The MM100 have gel-filled earpads upholstered with synthetic leather. The headband is made from spring steel for a long and durable service life, plus the headphones can fold flat for easier storage or travel.
The 90mm diaphragm used in these planar-magnetic headphones is made from an ultra-thin Uniforce material. It’s the same design used in the Audeze MM-500 headphones. Fazor waveguides and Fluxor magnets are also used to create clear sound with exceptionally low levels of distortion
Weighing in at 375g, Audeze claims these new headphones are comfortable, even for extended listening or mixing sessions. I haven’t heard them yet, but 17-time Grammy award-winning engineer and producer Manny Marroquin is a big fan. Audeze says Marroquin uses planar-magnetic headphones to mix recordings for artists like Lizzo, Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars.
