Professional Monitoring Redefined
The Mackie MC-450 is engineered for professionals who demand critical accuracy in their audio monitoring environment. Designed for mixing, mastering, and analytical listening, these open-back headphones offer an expansive stereo image and lifelike detail that closed-back models cannot match. Whether you're in a treated studio or a dedicated home setup, the MC-450 delivers precision and depth suitable for the most demanding tasks.

Balanced and Transparent Audio
Equipped with high-performance 42 mm dynamic drivers, the MC-450 delivers a detailed frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The 54-ohm impedance and 101 dB sensitivity ensure compatibility with a wide range of studio interfaces, headphone amps, and portable devices without sacrificing output level. The open-back design enhances spatial awareness, allowing users to hear nuanced instrument placement and subtle mix changes, making it ideal for reference-grade listening.
Built for Comfort and Durability
With a focus on extended studio sessions, Mackie designed the MC-450 to provide superior comfort without compromising durability. The headphones feature premium leather padding on the headband and memory foam ear cushions that conform to the user’s ears. The frame offers just the right amount of clamping force for a secure fit, and the ear cups swivel for easy storage or single-ear monitoring. Reinforced construction ensures these headphones are ready for the road as well as the studio.
