The Audeze MM-520 Headphones bring Manny Marroquin’s signature studio monitoring concept into sharper focus with enhanced low-end accuracy, improved spatial detail, and the kind of planar magnetic precision that makes critical mix decisions feel a whole lot less like guesswork.
Designed for engineers, producers, mixers, and creators who need trustworthy headphone monitoring, the MM-520 delivers a powerful yet honest listening experience that helps your work translate from the studio to the real world. Built on the foundation of the acclaimed MM-500, the Audeze MM-520 adds Audeze’s SLAM™ technology, short for Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator, to optimize air pressure inside the earcup for more immediate bass response and a more open sense of space. The result is a professional open-back headphone that gives you deeper insight into the low end without giving up the midrange neutrality and detail that made the Manny Marroquin Signature Series a serious tool for working audio professionals. Inside, the MM-520 features 90mm planar magnetic drivers with Ultra-Thin Uniforce™ diaphragms, Fluxor™ magnet arrays, and Fazor™ phase management for fast transient response, low distortion, and excellent clarity across the frequency spectrum. With high sensitivity, low impedance, and comfortable memory foam earpads with magnetic attachment, the MM-520 is ready for long mix sessions whether you are working from a console, audio interface, or laptop-based rig.
