Audeze MM-520 Professional Open-Back Headphones
The Audeze MM-520 is a professional open-back headphone built for recording, mixing and critical listening. Designed as a focused studio tool, it combines Audeze planar magnetic technology with the latest acoustic refinements from the brand’s Southern California workshop.
Created in collaboration with 18-time Grammy-winning producer and engineer Manny Marroquin, the MM-520 is designed to give engineers and creators a reliable reference wherever they are working. Its refined planar magnetic drivers integrate Audeze’s patent-pending SLAM™ technology, delivering deeper, tighter bass definition and precise midrange expression for confident production decisions.
The MM-520 uses a 90 mm planar magnetic transducer with Fluxor™ magnet array, Fazor™ phase management and an Ultra-Thin Uniforce™ diaphragm. This open-back circumaural design is built for accuracy, detail and translation, making it suitable for everything from focused studio work to deep listening and recording on the fly.
Comfort and convenience are also central to the MM-520 design. Upgraded memory foam earpads support long mixing sessions, while magnetic attachment makes maintenance and cleaning simple. The package includes both a standard travel case and an MM-Series soft carry bag, giving the MM-520 practical protection for mobile studio work.
For professionals who need a dependable reference headphone with Audeze planar magnetic performance, the MM-520 offers a purpose-built design for modern recording, mixing and production workflows.
