I notice how little people talk about this headphone.

Recently I got it and really enjoy it. Due to its really low power requirement characteristic, I just run it with my Apple or questyle dongle and I get a enjoyable sound.

The only thing I notice is the bass dont slam quite deep, but it’s also the same thing I felt with with the lcd 5 and I’m not into the affair of EQ. Other than that I enjoyed the sound a lot . I think it’s not often you get good quality sound that’s easy to drive especially for planar.

I sold mine about two months into ownership as well because of similar reasons. I vastly prefer the older Audeze House sound where sub bass is a standout feature. I find both the LCD5 as well as MM-500 to be way too forward in the mids with not enough extension in both the lows and highs. I understand the MM-500 needs to be tuned that way for a mixing/mastering tool but I'd way rather have my LCD4 or LCDX 2021 than either of the newer models.

Greetings all,

Does anyone have a spare MM-500 headband they would be willing to sell? I am looking for one for my LCD-5; Audeze will not sell me one directly.

We do not have spring steel headbands readily available for general sale for the new style of headphones. And the current headbands are specifically made for the MM-500 including having its logo (we do not mix and match parts from other models, hence why someone asking for say, an LCD-X grill for the XC is not possible.)

We will pass along the desire to have a spring steel headband for the LCD-5.

how much more detail does the MM500 have versus the lcd x 21?
