About the Headphones

 
"My MM-500s have been transformative, revealing depth-of-field, volume, and EQ issues I had previously overlooked. They became essential tools while mixing the score for Nacho Arenas’ Blow the Horn, an untitled Amazon documentary, and the official theme for the Ourense International Film Festival."
