Audeze MM-500 Planar Magnetic Headphones
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
De Audeze MM-500 is een high-end open-back koptelefoon, ontworpen voor professionele studio- en kritische luistertoepassingen. Het geluid is zeer analytisch en neutraal, waardoor details en nuances in muziek goed hoorbaar zijn. De bouwkwaliteit en gebruikte materialen zijn van topniveau, en het draagcomfort is geschikt voor lange sessies. Het stereobeeld is breed en instrumenten zijn duidelijk te onderscheiden. Wel is de prijs hoog, en de klemkracht kan voor sommige gebruikers te stevig zijn. De nadruk op het midden/hoog kan bij langdurig luisteren vermoeiend zijn, en de subbass en treble zijn minder prominent dan bij sommige andere high-end modellen. Voor wie op zoek is naar een betrouwbare referentiehoofdtelefoon, is de MM-500 een uitstekende keuze, mits je de genoemde nadelen accepteert.

The Audeze MM-500 perform better than their audio reproduction accuracy score suggests. While their frequency response deviates from their flat sound signature, the absence of fluctuations in narrow, neighboring frequency bands indicates deliberate tuning rather than uncontrolled audio reproduction. The treble region features a slight low-treble emphasis coupled with mid-treble de-emphasis, retaining detail and articulation in vocals and instruments while softening sibilants. The Audeze headphones have very good stereo matching and excellent harmonic distortion performance, so you won't notice shifts in the stereo image caused by the headphones, nor coloration from unwanted harmonics. While the headphones excite the pinna, our PRTF measurements indicate their presentation won't sound as natural as our benchmark, an angled stereo speaker setup.

Accuracy at a next level. No lies, no frills.. just exactly what’s going on and a spot on picture of how the music sounds. Brilliant.

Simply put, the best headphones you can buy. Clear mids, sparkling highs, and full, speedy lows. If you are looking for something with heavy bass with an artificially warm sound, this isn’t for you. I had the LCD-X and these are definitely a cut above, at least. These have become my go-to open backs, with the Focal Radiance being my go-to closed back choice. If you can afford it, pull the trigger. And if you are thinking about the LCD-X, I would recommend saving up a bit more and go for these. Y...

Honestly if this would be your first headphone, I couldn't recommend it. The clamp for me has always been too much. Also this one has been a bit picky about the amp source sounding good with solid state but not some much on transformer base tubes amps. It can be a wonderful addition to audiophiles collection because of the technical performance. It's a very good blend of staging imaging and tamber. This won't make things as smooth and wide as Aryas or HD800s so I tend to only use it with well re...
