Well, the price here in Norway is still quoted as NOK 5990 = US 566 - and availability here is still uncertain. In this new video Chris B tells us that the MM-100 is now finally shipping in it's final form. I hope this means that the errors reported by adopters here earlier have all been...

Hi Zeus, I share your concerns on the reported exaggerated high mids. Demo units have still not been available here, 6 months after the first production run, so hard to know how annoying this would be in production use? Other peculiarities reported by early adopters on this forum and elsewhere...

Thanks for this comparison, holden. Very informative and one of the most interesting posts on this thread IMO - along with your review on December 24. "NB: There is a lot more I could say about the 100s but hopefully what I've written will begin to answer some of your questions. However, if...

@holden: I think squibble explained this well on page 84 of this thread. The MM-100 still isn't available for testing here, so I haven't been able to hear if this issue is audible. Check out Bob Katz: Mastering Audio: Chapter 16, Additional Mastering Techniques for a general discussion. Ethan...

Thanks Holden, good to hear yours is not part of the reported subset of cans suffering from wiring errors, due to a misunderstanding in assembly. Another issue that has been reported is the reversal of polarity on some of the MM-100s. Do yours show absolute polarity? Looking forward to your...

Thanks for that Thermos. Here in Norway the latest news on the Audeze distributor's website is that the MM-100 still isn't available. They have now changed their previous delivery date of 'Dec 5th - unconfirmed' to just 'Not in stock'. So no new MM cans here before Christmas, I guess? Don't...

The distributor in Norway now has moved their unconfirmed estimated delivery date to Dec. 05. The price remains NOK 5990 on their website (currently = 533 USD). Maybe we'll be able to try them here before Christmas? But the way things have been going since the launch, probably not.

Yes, here's what a google search brings you on Sean Olive's work for the Harman Corporation. A search for 'Sean Olive Harman curve' will bring articles on the history of his Harman curve. There are videos with the Headphone Show fellas here as well...

Thanks HipHop, I've watched it a few times already, but not convinced. I still prefer Sean Olive's Harman curve from 2012 in combination with the B&K graph. Still gives me a clearer picture of what to expect from a set of cans.

In a recent video from resolve about the Sennheiser HD600 he's backing up his review with B&K 4128 graphs and a Harman curve like they used to do over at the Headphone Show. The new graph with the Preference bounds indication is confusing. Who's preference are we talking about? Audiophiles'...

Yeah, would've liked to see what that 3K bump looks like on the graph type we're used to seeing from the Headphone Show fellas. We still haven't had a chance to test the MM-100 ourselves over here, so it's hard to know how much of a problem the exaggerated high mid bump will turn out to be for...

Good one, marekm! Seems Santa is being kept in the dark on availability like most of us :santa:. Do the sponsored fan boys have any news on that for us mere mortals? Will there be MM-100s under the x-mas trees around the world this year? @ karloil: "I just rely on reading and watching any...

"MUCH brighter" - ouch! I had hoped they would have tapered down that 3K bump at least some from the 500. But I guess I was just dreaming. Manny likes it like that and these are part of the MM series after all. For mixing modern pop it may be helpful, but for mastering not so much I'm afraid...

Yes, one factor is VAT: 25% in Denmark, Sweden and Norway; 24% in Finland and Iceland. Germany has 19%, the UK 20%, France 20%, Italy 22% and so on. Here in Norway the Norwegian Krone is at an all time low in relation to the US Dollar. Sweden is similar as far as I know. Making US products very...

Thanks for the additional info, Thermos. Hearing your ME reaction is much appreciated! :) So no warm/sweaty ears in long sessions, as has been reported by other early owners? I've been sceptical of the new artificial leather pads myself, both with regards to comfort and sound. Never had a pair...
