Know before you buy
Open-back headphones allow air to pass through the earcups, which creates a wider, more natural soundstage and reduces pressure buildup. Because they don't block outside noise, they are best suited for quiet environments like a home studio rather than noisy commutes.
Yes. With an impedance of 18 ohms and high-efficiency drivers, the MM-100 is easy to drive and does not strictly require a dedicated external amplifier to reach good volume levels.
Planar magnetic drivers use a thin, flexible diaphragm that reacts faster than traditional dynamic drivers. This results in significantly lower distortion, better transient response, and a more accurate, detailed sound profile ideal for critical listening.
Yes, they are designed for extended use. The combination of a lightweight suspension headband and plush, gel-filled leather earcups helps distribute weight evenly and keeps your ears cool during long sessions.
No, the unilateral cable design is purely for convenience, allowing you to plug the cable into whichever side is most comfortable for your workspace. It does not impact the signal integrity or the audio performance of the headphones.
An open-box item is a product that has been returned or used for display purposes. These units are inspected to ensure they are in like-new condition and include a 1-year limited warranty, offering a reliable way to get premium gear at a lower price point.
