Audeze MM 100 vs MM 500 vs LCD 5 - Canjam Socal 2023

[@LencoTB]

Thank you for reviewing MM-100. You are the only KZbinr regularly talking about these. Keep up the good work.

[@ryanhostudio]

thank you!!

[@Sebastian-gc2hc]

I highly appreciate your truthful and easy to understand opinion in every video.

[@ryanhostudio]

thank you!! :]

treble emphasis != treble detail. In no respect do I feel like the 100 nor 500 come close to the detail of the LCD-5, despite the stock tuning of the 500 being more agreeable. I do find the 100 to be a good value proposition though.

[@astifcaulkinyeras]

How do the 100, 500, X, and XC compare to your Diana? I have a Diana TC and I want to buy an Audeze but I'm worried they won't be as detailed. I value detail/resolution over everything.

[@ryanhostudio]

the only one i would consider is the mm-500 even then i think diana mr is better because more treble than mm-500.

[@astifcaulkinyeras]

@@ryanhostudio I see, thanks. What about compared to the Diana TC?

[@ryanhostudio]

the mm-500 is a more normal sounding tuning than diana tc, the diana tc midrange is noticeably more recessed and its treble boost leads to some harshness where mm-500 is more filled out and natural in midrange and smooth as butter in treble region

[@carlhil2]

Add the LCD-2 Rosewoods to the mix. (I only ask because I just received mine and they sound nice to me)😊 oh, and nice comparison...

[@ryanhostudio]

they made different woods for LCD-2 i cant remember what wood they used for the one i heard. But its sound signature is more warm than there newer studio/midrange focused tunings

hello,I just want to use one earphone and don't want to be tired of switching devices all the time depending on the type of music. I listen to 80% classical and 20% jazz and pop. I have also seen the audeze mm500 so far, and I think the instrument part is quite good, and the vocals are in the front, so the female voice sounds good. Do you recommend other headphones at this level? I think the sound field of the mm500 is okay. For classical music, the instrument tone is not too modified. , the low-frequency dive is enough for jazz. I don’t know if I understand this right?

[@ryanhostudio]

mm-500 is a good headphone with forward vocals

Ryan, I am looking for a lot of bass quantity and quality when hooked up to an amp like the fiio btr7. I am caught between the Audeze mm 100, Audeze LCD 2 Open, Audeze LCD 2 closed, and monoprice monolith 1070c closed. What should I get, and why? Thank you for helping me out!

[@ryanhostudio]

i’m pretty sure all these you listed have flat bass and not much bass quantity. These are all planars too, i suggest you look at the fiio ft5 it’s a planar with lots of bass and should fit what you are looking for. I also have a review of it and comparing it to the audeze mm-100

[@cyborg4target]

really you think so? The Fiio FT5 over even closed back Audezes?@@ryanhostudio

[@UrbanExplorer614]

How would you say the MM-100 compares to the LCD-X? The X is probably used more in pro environments than the 500s and 5s.

[@ryanhostudio]

my honest opinion is the lcd-x is definitely not a studio headphone, i’m not sure how it ever passed as one except for people falling for marketing. MM-500 is much better but could still use more treble, i doubt there’s a reason to use the lcd-5 when mm-500 is tuned better

[@ryanhostudio]

also here is a measurement of latest lcd-x, also i have heard it in person as well it’s not great www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audeze-lcd-x-review-2021-edition-headphone.25271/

[@dazky11994]

Top 5 end game headphones for movies please? I am in a big dilemma wether to go for the sennheiser hd800s for the amazing soundstage or go for the mm500 or a susvara. I dont listen to music nor mix music. I just want something for home cinema movies.

[@ryanhostudio]

heard the sony mdr-mv1 and convinced that’s the goat now. Thing has really amazing bass with a good tuning that’s way more fun than hd800s, susvara, or mm-500 and that’s the type of sound i would want to listen to movies with

[@dazky11994]

@@ryanhostudio what if my budget is a lot higher? i know more money does not mean better, but in this case i have a higher budget.

[@ryanhostudio]

the abyss diana mr with bass ported leather earpads is what im using and would recommend that as well

[@calvinyip364]

Nice review how does the mm 100 compare to sundara

[@ryanhostudio]

personally i think the sundara sounds like the sundara

[@LencoTB]

Sundara vs Sundara? Were you too fast for your own good the time you wrote the comment? 😂

[@calvinyip364]

@@LencoTB 😂😂 I didn't notice lol. Actually was gonna say mm100 Vs sundara lol.

[@calvinyip364]

@@ryanhostudio mb 😂😂 it's mm100 compare to Sundara. Must be the auto correct.

[@LencoTB]

@@calvinyip364 I was also thinking about it but we will just have to wait for more reviews.

[@puyncharasr6963]

Do you think MM-100 / MM-500 good for FPS?

[@ryanhostudio]

i have the mm-100 i thinks it’s pretty amazing for fps. The imaging is really good! was going to do a video eventually but too many things to do right now

[@xLiquidFire]

what is your recommendation for the best competitive fps (valorant) open back headphones under $500? i was looking at mm 100 or dt 900 pro x, currently have 560s

[@ryanhostudio]

epos h6 pro and mm-100 are good options. Probably mm-100 if you don’t mind the weight

[@ChrisKeyman]

Audeze service is horrible. My Lcd-1 has problem and they don't repair it because this model is "discontinued" they said
