My set finally came in. I'm looking to move to something more normal sounding than my DT-1990s. I bought MM-100 because I liked single sided entry, I prefer bright(er) signatures generally, and wanted something more "all day" for WFH listening than some of my other sets.

Some random listening notes from the first couple hours:
- bass texture & quantity is good, lower mids are a bit dry
- Dynamics are ok, but not great
- it's been said before but backing up the feedback that they work very well with good recordings, but thin sounding if they're not mixed that well
- La vita nuova - Christine and the queens wasn't great
- Not super awful though. Some cans are PUNISHING with poor recordings, these aren't like that.
- timbre is solid
- I like the vocal forwardness, not as much as a focal or some ZMFs but still there

Build/comfort
- Like the new headband adjuster in general but at first, I was kinda stuck inbeween two settings and had to deal with it being a bit tight for a few hrs until the band stretched out a bit.
- Materials feel great, high quality, light (ish) and solid. I don't feel like I need to baby them.

I just got a pair for my brother and both drivers are playing the R ch only 💩 unlucky

Make sure the cable is fully seated into the cup, and test both sides to see if it happens on the other end.

Also, do not use aftermarket dual sided cables, as the MM-100 is not wired for traditional dual entry 3.5mm cables. Unless the cable pin out is specifically made for MM-100 or other headphones like it.

Otherwise, it is wired so that you can plug in the stock cable to either side, not for standard dual entry cables.

If you have ensured the cable is plugged in as into the headphone as possible, tested that on both ends, and still have this issue, please email support@audeze.com for assistance.

I've had my MM-100s for a while now and am enjoying them a ton! They're my main headphone at home outside of the HAC offices. I frequently get emails / see confusion about what cables work with these cans, so I went ahead and created an info page on our site that sheds a little light on this as well as what cables we offer that work with the MM-100s. Link to that here. I've also been able to grab some pics that I thought I'd share:
