Audeze MM-520 Monitoring Headphones Launch With Planar Sound and Premium Studio Features
Audeze has introduced the MM-520, a new pair of premium monitoring headphones designed for music producers, audio engineers, and serious listeners who want detailed, accurate sound for studio work. Built with planar magnetic headphone technology, the MM-520 aims to deliver the kind of clarity and precision that professionals need when mixing, mastering, or reviewing recordings.
The headphones weigh 555 g, or 19.6 oz., giving them a substantial, studio-focused build. Audeze has also equipped the MM-520 with memory foam earpads, which are designed to improve comfort during long listening sessions. One of the more convenient design choices is the use of magnetic mounts for the earpads, allowing users to replace them easily without complicated tools or repairs.
For connectivity, the Audeze MM-520 includes a 2.5 m, or 8.2 ft., headphone cable. This longer cable length should be useful in studio setups where users need freedom of movement while working at a desk, mixing console, or recording station. A 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter is also included, making the headphones compatible with a wide range of audio interfaces, headphone amplifiers, studio gear, and consumer audio devices.
Audeze also bundles the MM-520 with both a travel case and a soft carry bag, giving users options for storage and transport. This makes the headphones more practical for producers and engineers who move between home studios, professional recording spaces, and live production environments.
The MM-520 monitoring headphones are priced at $1,699, placing them firmly in the high-end headphone category. At this price, they are aimed at users who prioritize premium audio performance, replaceable comfort parts, and a professional-grade listening experience.
The Audeze MM-520 is available through the company’s official store, with availability also expected through Audeze’s storefront on Amazon. For music creators looking for premium planar magnetic monitoring headphones with a focus on studio accuracy, comfort, and long-term usability, the MM-520 stands out as a serious new option in the professional audio market.
