Audeze Joins with Manny Marroquin for a New Line of Headphones; MM-500 Announced

Audeze announced that Grammy-winning engineer/producer Manny Marroquin is joining the team as Head of Professional Products.

The first product in under Marroquin is the newly announced MM-500, which boasts studio quality sound wherever you go and mixed to help translate sounds consistently well.

Audeze describes MM-500 as follows:

Conceived and refined in one of the world’s most acclaimed studios, the MM-500 is a purpose-built tool designed to deliver mixes that consistently translate and capture the emotion the artist intended. Lighter than our famous LCD-X, the MM-500’s sleek and sturdy chassis offers all-day comfort. Step up to the headphone used to mix Kendrick Lamar’s #1 album “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” at Larrabee Studios: the Audeze MM-500.

A Serious Tool for Every Situation

“I rely on my MM-500 as much as the main monitors in my studio”- Manny Marroquin

The MM-500 is designed to suit the requirements of long daily listening sessions under almost any condition. World-class studio monitor? Check. Quick reference on-the-go? No problem. Deep late-night listening? Done. With its ease of drive, comfortable fit and trustworthy sound, you can count on the MM-500 to deliver in every situation.

The Lifestyle of Headphone Listening

“When you want studio quality sound anywhere you are” – Manny Marroquin

You need to hear everything at its most natural and pure – exactly when you need it – anywhere, anytime. Manny knows the importance of headphone listening in today’s world: studio to stage, cafe to beachfront, canal to jetway, the MM-500 is the reference to the soundtrack of your life.

Elegance, Comfort and Durability

“Putting on the MM-500 makes me feel confident to deliver the best mix” – Manny Marroquin

Featuring extra-plush premium leather earpads, an adjustable spring steel headband, and a machined aluminum structure, the MM-500 feels substantial yet lightweight. Just like our flagship headphones, the MM-500 is hand-crafted in our Southern California workshop to provide years of reliable comfort in a package that calls out to be held, admired and listened to.

Elevate Your Professional Audio Game

“The MM-500 is as vital in my studio as any other piece of equipment” – Manny Marroquin

Offering studio-quality sound, always within reach, the MM-500 is truly the next level of performance in pro audio. Whether you’re stepping up from our own LCD-X or from another brand, the MM-500 will be as much a part of your life as your favorite pair of sneakers.

Award-winning Audeze Technology

“The best definition, clarity, and depth of any headphone I’ve ever used” – Manny Marroquin

The MM-500’s planar magnetic drivers provide realism that audio professionals like Manny “can’t live without.” With lightning-fast transients, accurate frequency response and trusted mix translation powered by Audeze’s patented innovations, the MM-500 produces unparalleled audio quality that other headphones can only dream of.
