More expensive than you’d even imagine.
You feel like you’re a member of the US Secret Service opening the briefcase up.
Once you kick off the briefcase up, you’re greeted with the MM-500s.
The MM-500’s earcups are perhaps the opposite to the Grado Hemps I’ve also tested recently.
After all, these are planar magnetic headphones, as opposed to the more common dynamic drivers.
This is arguably due to the name that quietly adorns the MM-500’s earcups.
Look closely, and you’ll see Manny Maroquin’s name on the side.
That’s quite the endorsement.
With this point in mind, it changes how you view the MM-500.
Are they worth the price?
In the context of what you’re getting, probably.
Would I recommend you buy them, though?
Otherwise, they’re a bit of a difficult sell.
