Three Audeze planar magnetic headphones. $400, $1,200, and $1,700. My friend Steve Dierkens and I have mixed on all three, and in this video we give you our honest take on each one so you can figure out which is actually worth it for your setup.
We cover the MM-100, MM-500, and LCD-X: how they sound for mixing, how they feel to wear, and where each one makes sense depending on your budget and workflow.
Not sponsored. Just two guys who mix on headphones telling you what we actually think.
