The Audeze MM-100 are probably the best and most affordable planar magnetic headphones on the market ...
[+] right now. The sound, build quality and value for money is unrivalled. Audeze has been championing planar magnetic driver technology for many years and the company’s range of headphones has plenty of fans because the sound produced by planar magnetic drivers can be more dynamic and responsive compared to more traditional dynamic driver technology used in most headphones.
We’ll delve into the pros and cons of planar magnetic technology a little later in this review of the latest pair of planar magnetic headphones from Audeze. Designed in collaboration with 17-time Grammy-winning engineer and producer, Manny Marroquin, the all-new MM-100 are an open-back design that uses the latest planar magnetic transducers from Audeze. The Audeze MM-100 are assembled in the U.
S.A. and retail for $399.
Based on the company’s hugely successful Audeze MM-500 headphones, which were launched at NAMM 2022, the MM-100 use 90mm planar magnetic drivers. And what’s so special about planar magnetic technology? The technology uses a magnetic field around a conductor with current flowing through that moves the diaphragm which has incredibly thin and flat conductors in it. The big advantage with the technology is lower distortion, a tighter bass.
The lower impedance of the drivers also means they work well with a wide range of amplifications sources. Some people also say the soundstage with.
