Frequently Asked Questions - MM-500 Audeze
How do I connect the Audeze MM-500 to my audio interface?
The MM-500 comes with a detachable cable terminated with a 6.3 mm (1/4-inch) jack. Most audio interfaces have a 6.3 mm headphone output, so simply plug it in. For devices with a 3.5 mm output, you may need a 6.3 mm to 3.5 mm adapter (not included).
What is the impedance of the MM-500 and what amplifier do I need?
The impedance is 18 ohms, making it easy to drive. A dedicated headphone amplifier is recommended for best performance, but it can be driven directly from most audio interfaces or portable players with sufficient output power (>50 mW).
Are the earpads replaceable?
Yes, the earpads are designed to be replaceable. They are attached via a mounting ring. Replacement earpads can be purchased from Audeze or authorized resellers.
How should I clean the MM-500?
Clean the earpads and headband with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use any solvents, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners. The dust cover on the ear cups can be gently wiped with a dry cloth.
What is the warranty on the Audeze MM-500?
Audeze offers a 3-year warranty for the original purchaser from the date of purchase. This covers defects in materials and workmanship. You must register your product on the Audeze website to activate the warranty.
Can I use the MM-500 for mixing and mastering?
Absolutely. The MM-500 is designed for professional studio use with a neutral, accurate sound signature. Its low distortion and wide frequency response make it ideal for critical listening, mixing, and mastering.
Is the cable detachable? What are the replacement options?
Yes, the cable is detachable and uses a custom mini-XLR connector on the headphone side. Replacement cables can be purchased from Audeze or third-party manufacturers that offer mini-XLR terminated cables.
What is the weight of the MM-500? Is it comfortable for long sessions?
The headphones weigh 420 grams (without cable). The spring steel suspension headband and memory foam earpads distribute the weight evenly, providing comfort during extended listening sessions.
Can I use the MM-500 with a portable device like a smartphone?
While the MM-500 has low impedance and high sensitivity, it may not reach optimal volume with a smartphone due to limited power. For portable use, consider a portable headphone amplifier or DAC.
How do I store the MM-500 when not in use?
Store the headphones in the included hard carrying case when not in use. Ensure the earpads are dry and clean. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
