Monoprice Monolith M1060 Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones - Black/Wood With 106mm Driver, Open Back Design, Comfort Ear Pads For Studio/Professional

These headphones were a surprise to me, firstly a planar magnetic design and secondly the materials that are used. The build is a bit flimsy, not too much of a revelation considering that they are so cheap! They came packaged really well and for the ridiculously low price, have a case included in the box. They sound fine and for the price point-this alone is amazing. No they won’t do anything that more expensive headphones do, but at this price delivered in a custom case with a cable I can’t really fault these. I know the experts will complain about sound quality and and finite detail missing but I suppose those so called audiophiles who have golden ears should know better? After all I bought relatively cheap planar headphones. I managed my expectations and was pleasantly impressed. I purchased cheap headphones and they work perfectly fine and are of ok build. To those who purchase cheap things then criticise or compare to other items that they have never owned and only read reviews of: these probably won’t be for you. If you like music and appreciate that you are purchasing a cheaper version of something better then you may understand why this product is popular and have managed expectations appropriately.

Mine sounded great, but I could hear some movement in one of the earcups. To be fair the customer service was get prompt and honest (I felt) about the shortcomings of this (budget end of the) high end product. Purchase for studio use (mixing down) but not really fit for my purpose. If you are looking for just 'Home listening' high end audio, then they are a great set. You won't get bass response and depth like this from another £300 set of headphones. I also own a pair of Pionset HD2000 MK1 ( that cost over £300 when I bought them) and the monoprice blows the socks off the pioneers in terms of sound quality (acknowledging they are designed for different situations). A good introductory pair, but I ended up going with a pair of Audeze LCD2's purely down to the build. The Monoprice's don't sound a patch on the sound of the LCD2's to to be fair they cost more than twice the price.

These are only the second pair of open-backed headphones I've owned, and my very first planar magnetics. I've always been a closed back or IEM user, mostly from necessity. In the time leading up to choosing my very first pair of openback phones (the Philips Fidelio X2's - well worth a listen) I tried a lot of headphones and before purchase I read a fair amount too. Frankly the choice can be overwhelming and it's not helped by so many wildly conflicting opinions. One person will tell you the m1060's are utter tripe, the next will say they're the dogs danglies - you begin to second guess yourself!. Those opinions are based on so many things - sound preferences, hearing ability, the revision of headphone they have, the equipment they're using to drive the headphones. I even noticed something I can only call snobbery - some people seemed almost threatened by headphones that cost so much less than the headphones they own and to which they're being compared, there's a lot of snippy Audeze owners out there. Out of all the headphones I looked into, the m1060's seemed by far the most divisive; they'd been hyped to the hilt and were subjected to incredible scrutiny. The Internet is a wonderful resource, but for certain products it's often more confusing than informative. And here I am, adding my two cents! The only way of knowing if you like something like headphones is to put them on and listen. So that's what I did prior to buying. I have a friend with an enormous array of audio equipment, and headphones in particular. In trying out his headphones I found that cost often had nothing to do with how much I enjoyed listening to them. I chose the Philips Fidelio X2's blind (he was plopping them on my head from the back so I had no idea what was on there!) and when it came to take them off I was seriously smitten. Then I saw how well they were made and figured I was gonna be spending quite a chunk of change. Turns out they cost me £150 new, there was plenty of money left over and I decided to buy another pair that used a different driver type - planar magnetic. So the blind testing started again (you'd think I was imposing on my mate but he loves this stuff!) and I whittled the smaller field down to two headphones that had exactly the kind of sound I like - open and detailed but not bright; warm with a nice tight solid low end. And there really wasn't much between them, there was a difference but it wasn't significant enough for me to have a clear preference - they both sounded great and were very comfortable. I examined the build quality of both and while the m1060 wasn't as solid as the others, when I learned the price I made the decision that I wasn't going to pay another £500 if I didn't have to, especially as they're for home use and will spend most of their time in the supplied case (which is very nice but bloody huge!). They were so similar otherwise, and the build is certainly good enough, so it just didn't make any sense to spend more than I had to. They look very smart, they're extremely comfortable, and they come in at a price that belies their appearance and sound quality. I was almost beginning to think that I had a preference for cheaper headphones until I learned the price of the similar sounding alternative. My friend assured me that they (and the X2's) were excellent headphones and advised me to just trust my ears - after all its me who's going to be listening to them!. If you ever get the chance to test products blind like that then take it. I can't count the times I've gone with the high end brand, the top model or the most expensive "because it must be the best", only to be left feeling duped once the dazzle wore off and reality kicked in. Off topic I know, but Google "pricing placebo" and "perceived value" - it's an eye-opener!. Anyway!. I've been living with the m1060s for a while now and they really are a superb headphone. They're not just great for the money, and when you look at the price of other planar magnetics you'll see what I mean, they're just plain great. Once they're on your head they're really comfortable, those big thick wide earpads really hug your head and they're easy to adjust to fit. The sound from a planar driver is actually quite difficult for me to describe, it is distinctive from the dynamic drivers most of us are used to. They're also physically very different at over 10cm tall!. They have a very clean sound, voices and instruments seem more natural and vocals in particular sound wonderfully sweet. The midrange is very detailed. I'm a bit treble sensitive and the m1060s suit me perfectly with their slightly quieter highs. One of the perhaps less obvious advantages I get from them is speed, which might sound like an odd thing to say. Bass in particular sounds punchy and accurate - maybe the nature of the driver allows it to recover more quickly than a dynamic driver so it's ready to do its thing again?. They might not have the thump of a particularly bassy dynamic headphone, but they're absolutely no slouch at the bottom end. They extend all the way down and what's there is cleaner. I've never heard the double bass or drums sound so lifelike and defined in a mix, and it's easy to pick out each individual instrument and its location. Sub bass from music or films (or film music!) is eerily like a subwoofer. Just to be clear though - they're not the type of headphone that adds bass to everything, they just deliver it incredibly well when it should be there. I'm a chatty type so if you've stuck with me this long then cheers!. I just wanted you to know that I did what I could to buy headphones that I really enjoy and I tried not to let anything but the sound of them guide me. I did my due diligence before actually going ahead with the purchase by learning what I could about them, but I'd enjoyed them so much that barring learning they were radioactive it was a forgone conclusion. I've forcibly thrust them onto every friend and family member's head I can and I watch their faces light up with smiles and surprise - a far better gauge than anything they can say!. I'm going to keep an eye on future audio products from Monolith because I think that they, along with many of the Chinese audio companies, are going to shake up an industry where its not unusual to find headphones/DACs/amps that cost in the thousands, and often for no apparent technical superiority. It's gotten out of hand!. Next stop for me is a pair of electrostatic headphones, for many audiophiles they're considered the best type of driver for detail. The planar magnetic is generally considered to sit somewhere between the dynamic and electrostatic in terms of audio reproduction, but of course that's not always true. They're closer to electrostatics in both in quality and design, but cost less and are far more convenient too as they don't need a specialist amp. I can't recommend the m1060s highly enough, they not only sound fantastic but Monoprice also give a 5yr guarantee and are no nonsense when it comes to customer service. I would highly recommend that you at least try them out for yourself, Amazon are also no nonsense so there's nothing to lose. I hope something in this ramble was at least slightly useful and that it might have swayed you to give the m1060's a chance. I don't think you'll regret it, happy listening :)

What a super pair of headphones for sensible money, Myself I think they are a bargain and was looking at spending nearly double but took a punt on these after reading reviews and they are worth every penny. I have to say they are not lite and could have had a better headband but this is only a small gripe, if you hunt around you will find a good few aftermarket parts for these so you change them up, luxurious soft ear cups (nothing wrong with standard) high end cables standard Jack and various balanced options and they come in a nice case to keep them in good nick, lastly absolutely no build quality issues at the price all good and the only plastic part is really the headstrap build well..

Sound quality, looks, packaging are excellent. Apparently there are some issues with the build quality and the cable connections, however it’s too soon to comment on that. Have not had any issues so far. I recommend these headphones to anyone who starts their audiophile journey.

The most polarizing headphone that came out in 2017. Seems like you either love it or hate it. With reviews going from bad to great. Build and Comfort: Lets start with the obvious. They aren't built that great and has had issues on launch. Headband sucks, it's cheap thin metal with thin padding on the strap. The actual cups aren't too bad a nice matte black grill, the wood looks nice too. The pads are glorious, not memory foam but who cares because they are absolutely huge and soft. Nice and soft fabric for the cable so it stays straight. It's 2.5mm to the headphones with a regular 3.5mm jack to connect to whatever you have. The headband really is built that bad to the point of making the whole thing feel a lot cheaper. The pads are glued on too. As a quick note on the V1s. The V1 had major issues. Wood cracking. Metal grills were sharp. The connectors on the headphones were prone to failing since they were the tiny MMCX connector that iems use. Head strap was prone to coming off too. All of it fixed with the V2. Easiest way to tell if you have the V2 from looks is the cable. MMCX was replaced with a 2.5mm jack. Despite the thin padding on the headband I found them very comfortable. The pads did make me sweat a bit, not a problem with the headphone imo since every other headphone with closed pleather pads does this to me. I did end up buying ZMF Auteur Perforated Sheepskin pads to put on these to fix that issue. Sound: Punchy bass that extends very low as expected of a planar. Very wide and due to the size of the headphone the general sound sounds well, big. Then you get the the upper mids + treble. Rough, fatiguing, uncontrolled. It's a bit of a mess really. There are many times where it all sounds great but then there are times where it sounds harsh which is a real shame. And yes, alot of sound does leak from the headphone. There is potential with it in which the modding community really brings it out. The basic mod called the "fuzzor" mod involved sticking a bit of felt around the grills behind the earpads. Which really does a good job of fixing most of the issues with the sound. But the fact that it had to be done doesn't bode well for the headphone. (I did do this with my pair). However for £275 as of writing this review, for that price the sound is pretty darn great ignoring the mod. Rough around the many edges but £275 for a budget open back planar that sounds like this is a good deal imo. Final Thoughts: It's my daily driver and I really do like it but would I recommend it? I really want to say yes, but it's a no. Yes the headband build is bad enough to bring the whole build thing down. The fact that it requires modding to reign in the upper mids and highs is a deal breaker for alot of people. For me I don't mind tinkering with it but not everyone does. If you do then sure, go for it. For everyone else no. Even if the price is at a good £275. Not only that the M1060c which is the closed back variant with a modified driver supposedly fixes the sound issues for the most part. More expensive but no modding required.

Just received these at work today and was pretty excited to give them a go. Packaging was pristine with no seals unbroken. Opened the box up to find what you see in the photo's. £275.99 spent and that's what I got delivered. I assume its mold all over it and in the grooves of the headphones. Pretty poor and shows lack of professionalism in operations. As for the sound...well I don't think I will be trying this pair for sure.

I have gone over and over the headphones and they don’t have any left or right markings on the unit what so ever. That for me is the only negative. However they are very comfortable and sound absolutely great for the price point. There is a lot of competition at this price point but they stand up well to their competitors. I was not expecting the level of sound these headphones are giving me but don’t forget sound is subjective but for me I’m well happy with my purchase.

Si te encuentras aquí no es por casualidad, seguro están en busca de la mejor opción para ti, y de una vez te adelanto que los M1060 son excelentes al igual que los mencionados en el título, si eres un entusiasta de los audífonos continúa leyendo hasta el final, de lo contrario no lo pienses más y tira del gatillo son una compra segura!!! Mi reseña será extensa, si gustas acompañarme mil gracias!! 😊🎼🎧 Si aquí sigues adelante, de inicio me gustaría compartir mis experiencias 🎧🎧🎧esperando poner mi grano de arena, resulta que inicie en esto de los audífonos a mediados del 2021 y en esta travesía eh adquirido más 15 pares diferentes entre in ear y over ear tanto BT y cableados de diferentes marcas, y siempre buscaba mejor calidad de audio, te menciono esto no como presunción, sino como referencia, mis primeros audífonos fueron unos Sennheiser HD 350 BT y de ahí en pasado por marcas comerciales (JABRA elite 75T tuve mala suerte con estos, el auricular derecho dejó de funcionar, se mando garantía, misma que solo aplica 1 sola vez, me mandaron los ACTIVE 7 y pasó lo mismo, no los recomiendo) SONY XM4, XM3, IN EAR WF 1000XM4, BOSE EARBUDS QUIETCONFORT, BOSE NC 700, SOUND LINK 2 SENNHEISER PXC 550 y algunos más, pensaba que al tener el mejor codec de audio (aptx, LDAC) según mis investigaciones solucionaban mi sed de calidad, en su momento así fue para mí en ese entonces, pero me doy cuenta hoy día que desde ahí mi búsqueda estuvo mal enfocada, ya que después de mis XM4 y BOSE NC 700, tuve que a ver dando el brinco al HI FI, ya que lo que buscaba era mayor fidelidad, sin en cambio seguí comprando 🎧 algunos más bluetooth, y es ahí es donde hoy me doy cuenta que gasté de más !!! Ni modo me emocioné demasiado en esos tiempos ! !!! Continúe con mis investigaciones y veía y leía reseñas que hablaban de Dacs, amplificadores, audífonos cableados, etc etc y con algo de temor inicio mi primera compra por internet, empezando por un DAC/AMP FIIO BTR5 2021 para usarlo con mis audífonos adquiridos hasta el momento, pero para sorpresa mía, no sirvió de mucho ya que los audífonos comerciales no escalan casi nada con un DAC/AMP, proseguí con mi búsqueda e investigaciones y fueron llegando poco a poco (principio del 2023 a lo que va de este 2024) OTROS DAC/AMP FIIO K7, FIIO K5, IFI BLUE V2 (al ser bluetooht, lo ocupó con ambos FIIO por óptica / coaxial con un rendimiento asombroso) y amplificadores XDUOO M-602 DE VALVULAS y MONOLIT LIQUID SPARK también los siguientes; AUDIS FIIO FD5, FH7, HIFIMAN 400SE, Y SUNDARA CB, SENNHEISER HD600, y estos extraordinarios MONOLITE M1060, y todas mis compras buscaba siempre lo mismo, mejorar mi experiencia sonora, no se si me volví muy exigente o muy tonto, pero no me arrepiento de nada, todos y cada unos de ellos los disfrute al máximo en su momento, recuerdo que con mis XM4 me desvele toda la noche y en algunos momentos casi lloro de la emoción, hoy día me siguen gustando pero no de la misma manera que al inicio, y me refiero específicamente al sonido, en la medida que vas escuchando otras maneras el audio, todo se vuelve diferente en mis gustos y perspectivas, creo que es partes del crecimiento por así decirlo en este camino de los 🎧 Hoy día los valoro mucho y son parte de mi colección y todos me gustan, no voy a caer en decir cuál es mejor ya que se me hace injusto compararlos, todos mis 🎧 tienen sus pros y contras, sus cualidades y tecnologías, (los bt con su cancelación de ruido y diversas funciones y los cableados con una función particular) aunado a que esto del audio es subjetivo, más bien te puedo decir cuáles me gustan más y de lo que tengo en bluetooth mis XM4 con el códex LDAC y todos los BOSE y en estos me doy cuenta que a pesar solo usan el códec AAC su sonido es deliciosamente cálido ! De cableados me agradan más, los FH7, HD 600 Y ESTOS M1060 todos tienes sus propias cualidades y rendimientos, de excelente calidad, juntos han llenado mis gustos y preferencias, y al momento eh encontrado el sonido perfecto para mí, estos M1060 Y MIS HD 600 pero también eh llegado a una conclusión !!! Que todos suenan genial pero hasta cierto punto parecido tal vez halla alguien que no esté de acuerdo conmigo, pero para mí es así, y me explico, en la primera escucha las diferencias son poco notorias, pero cuando los escuchas a detallé la cosa cambia, eh realizado varias combinaciones con mis DAC/AMP y como ejemplo te pongo los 3 audífonos de mi título en verdad suenan parecido sin ser exigente, las diferencias son notorias entre un 10% y máximo el 20% pero justo este porcentaje marca la diferencia, claro todo esto en sus diferentes rangos de frecuencia, en algunos casos, más graves, medios o agudos y en su propia gama y ecualización de fábrica (por cierto no me gusta ecualizar) NO ME MAL ENTIENDAS si hay diferencias sonoras pero NO son abismales, quiero que sepas que en todo este camino me eh comido infinidad de tutoriales y reseñas, en su momento me han servido, pero también me han confundido y con cierto riesgo fui comprando a lo que le llamo MIS JUGUETES!!! de echó, me quedo con ganas de varios audífonos (sigva 023, fidelio X2, AKG 701, Ananda, Neumann NDH20, 660 S2 ….) y uno que otro DAC/AMP (IFI NEO, HIFIMAN EF 400, XDUOO XA 10…) seguramente deben ser superiores en rendimiento ( o más bien diferentes y en la variedad está el gusto, eh comprobado que un equipo mas caro no es necesariamente mejor) Para mi con lo que tengo hoy día es más que suficiente, y según mis ánimos del momento uso uno u otro Lo que sí dudo mucho es si algún día conoceré equipos que valen una barbaridad $$$ (HD 800, Arya, Bayerdinamic T1 etc etc o esos dac/amp como el IFI NEO 2, o SERENADE HIFIMAN entre varios más que ruedan es este mundo de la audiofilia!!! Con esto te comparto que soy un fan de la gama media y media alta y me doy cuenta de lo siguiente; Los HD 600 o M1060 valen 4 veces más que los 400 SE de HIFIMAN, perooooo el sonido no es 4 veces mejor, solo en un 20% máximo, y me imagino que así debe ser en esos equipos carísimos, creo que no valdría la pena el costo respecto a la diferencia sonora. Y por otro lado y de lo que sí tengo, debo reconocer que el timbre y naturalidad de los HD 600 o la Holografía y los bajos de los M1060 valen mucho la pena, no sé si la diferencia de precio está justificada, respecto al sonido, pero si en la construcción, acá cada quien es responsable de hasta donde quiera llegar, y por lo que veo así es este rollo de los audífonos, muchas veces se paga cierta suma de más, por tener un rendimiento diferente (no necesariamente mejor) y soy yo el único responsable de mis adquisiciones, y en todos los casos eh estado consiente de mis compras y no es justificación pero es mi hobby favorito, me apasionan los audífonos y cada que eh podido hago más amplia mi colección 🎧🎧🎧 Siempre me ha gustado la música, aún conservo muchos acetatos, cassettes, CD y también mi hermoso Ipod de 60gb y con el trajín de la vida me olvidé cierto tiempo de este hobby, pero ahora estoy vuelta en el, conociendo y aprendiendo y me doy cuenta que en estos tiempos donde todo es de excelente calidad ! Los bluetooth son muy versátiles, cómodos y fácil de usar con todas sus prestaciones, funciones y tecnologías, SONY Y BOSE cuentan con aplicaciones gratuitas de gran calidad, el sonido es cálido en todos pero muy bueno y satisfactorio, excelentes para el deporte, transporte, trabajo y oficina. Pero si se trata de degustar la música no hay más, los cableados conectados a un DAC/AMP son la gloria !!! Una vez que pruebas esta manera de escuchar la música no hay marcha atrás !!! Si continuaste hasta aquí te lo agradezco, y si me lo permites te daría un consejo, antes de comprar lo que mejor consideres, lo primero que tienes que tener en cuenta es que tipo de sonido te agrada más, más bajos, medios o agudos y aquí entra a lo que les llama firmas de audio, plana, cálida, equilibrada, fría, etc etc y de ahí donde y como vas a escuchar tu música, en tu celular, computadora, en tu biblioteca musical (MP3, Flac, MQA etc) o en streaming (por cierto entre TIDAL Y SPOTIFY la diferencia es notoria solo con el equipo adecuado) dicho esto no te rompas la cabeza, la música se escucha más que bien en todo lo comentado, algunas cosas mejor que otras lo acepto pero hasta ahí, debo reconocer que por cable es mayor fidelidad y realismo, así que disfruta lo que tienes sea lo que sea debe ser genial, que no te pase lo que a mí qué en mi búsqueda mal ejecutada gaste de más, (sobre todo al principio en mis adquisiciones bluetooth) hoy día tengo un mayor conocimiento y menor temor de comprar en línea, ya que lamentablemente no hay tiendas especializadas en mi ciudad y de haber sabido algo más al respecto mi camino hubiera sido más corto $$$ y beneficioso! Considero que todas mis compras HI FI fueron acertadas, y en todos los casos me volví un experto caza ofertas logrando obtener buenos precios en su momento, así que te recomiendo muchas paciencia y esperes buenos precios seguido salen buenas promociones acá en Amazon y justo mis Monolite M1060 los logré comprar en 5 k y según reseñas que eh visto los comparan con los Audize LC2, no se si esto sea verdad, pero tal vez !! Pero bueno lo veo en perspectiva es algo como una escuela de audio donde aprendes, muchas cosas sobre la marcha como los diferentes codecs, dacs, amplificadores, formatos, (MP3, FLAC, MQA) marcas, modelos, prestaciones, cables balanceados (que por cierto déjame decirte que solo ayudan en la cantidad de volumen más no en la resolución) en fin muchas cosas que resultan apasionantes pero hasta cierto punto caras en su conjunto, en su momento eh vendido algunos de mis audífonos bluetooth y con lo mismo eh realizado nuevas adquisiciones, para aminorar lo gastado hasta el momento! Me a funcionado ! Hoy día lo mío es escuchar mi música principalmente en casa y por cable con toda la cadena de audio que tengo a mi alcance, cosa que hago y disfruto todos los días ! Respecto a mi título te comparto mis muy particulares, subjetivos y respetuosos comentarios y lejos de una comparativa, es una descripción en base a mi propia experiencia y punto de vista, (por cierto no me gusta comparar, sino describir mis percepciones y preferencias, ya que lo puede ser excelente para mí, para ti puede ser todo lo contrario y viceversa, más bien considero que detrás de cada AUDÍFONO en especial de marcas dedicadas, hay un grupo de ingenieros realizando lo mejor para nosotros y acá uno decide que comprar según en cada caso y preferencia particular!!! 400 SE EQUILIBRADO (son una mezcla de cálidos y analíticos) MUSICA RECOMENDADA, ELECTRONICA, AUCUSTICA, POP, BANDAS SONORAS CONSTRUCCIÓN 7/10 COMODIDAD 8/10 RELACIÓN CALIDAD/PRECIO 10/10 SONIDO MUY BUENO 9/10 GRAVES CANTIDAD 9, CALIDAD 9 MEDIOS CANTIDAD 9, CALIDAD 9 AGUDOS CANTIDAD 10, CALIDAD 9 (Nota: estos son los más demandantes de energía al ser planar magnetic de baja impedancia 18 y bajo en decibeles 92, pero según mis experiencias los eh logrado mover al 💯 con los amplificadores de bulbos y el liquid spark de 1.3 w y por si te interesa son los más responsivos para ecualizar lo hacen de 10 !!!

Finalmente me despido no sin antes agradecer tu tiempo de verdad y decirte que todo lo escrito es mi muy particular punto de vista, ojalá te sirvan mis líneas y tomes las mejores decisiones sin gastar de más, (no temas hacer compras acá en Amazon son unos profesionales y mis compras todas han sido un éxito y además cuentan con un excelente soporte al cliente de 10) No me considero para nada un audifilo, más bien un gran entusiasta del los audífonos, me apasionan (Tal vez mi próxima parada será el DAC/AMP HIFIMAN EF 400 o EF 600 y los SIVGA 023 que según cuentan se parecen mucho a los ARIA DE HIFIMAN) Hoy día con toda la información y equipos obtenidos me doy cuenta que las diferencias no son tan grandes, pero todo indica que así esto de la audiofilia !!! Hobby hermoso, con matizes claro obscuros..... Un cordial saludo donde quiera que estés!!! P.D He complementado mi reseña original, pero eh mantenido la esencia de la misma Mil gracias 😊 por tu tiempo Ánimo y suerte con tus decisiones!

I bought these at the end of January 2018 and they are the revised version with the 2.5mm connectors instead of the MMCX. I've tried a number of planar headphones, Audeze LCD3, Opportunity PM-3, AudioQuest Nighthawk, HifiMan HE560 and never kept any of them. I think that I have never found a set that had the sound I liked at a price commensurate to their quality and which I would want to spend time with rather than with my Sennheiser HD800S headphones. When I came across the 1060s at under $300 I couldn't pass up the chance to try them out. For the money, they are beautifully made and presented. Out of the box they didn't sound bad, but have certainly benefited from a 60 hour burn in. Now I have to say that they are just a very musical set of phones, warm and easy to listen to. I have compared them to the HD800S running from a Schiit Jotununheim and not surprisingly they don't compare in soundstage, clarity, high end accuracy, but at the price that isn't what I am looking for. The real use for me is as a set of phones to casually listen to music from my Fiio X7 Mkii, and for this they are great. They are comfortable, a bit on the heavy side, but not to the point where I noticed it. The pads creaked a bit when first used, but have settled down and are plush and provide a good comfortable seal. I have no complaints about the cabling which is really thin, but seems solid enough and not microphonic. With the new 2.5mm at the headphone end and 3.5mm for the player connection, this is an easy cable to replace if you do have any problems. As far as the sound quality goes, they have a reasonably wide sound stage, but with not much front to back depth. Bass is slightly accentuated and top end rolls off a bit. I've seen reviews complaining about a peak at 5KHz and other problems, but I don't notice it, and for me these are NOT a pair of reference headphones, they are something to listen to music with and for me they have a pleasing musical sound, not harsh, not super sharp, but not too muddy either. A sound you can just sit back and enjoy, maybe not with a "wow" but with a long term smile. (Amazingly some people who don't notice the 5KHz problem have been asking for advice as to how to search for it so that they can be disturbed by it, weird!). They are pretty easy to drive, certainly from the X7 AM3 stock amp module. I did buy a balanced cable on Amazon and tried that output on the X7 to the M1060s. Impossible to do an A/B comparison but my impression was that the balanced gave slightly more open highs, but slightly detracted from the bass and didn't help the warmth so have sent that cable back and happily gone back to the supplied SE cable. In conclusion I am keeping the M1060s for relaxed listening. When I want to listen more seriously I'll still use my HD800Ss or my Shure SE846s for the Fiio X7 Mkii. The fact the I can listen happily to the M1060s when I am used to the sound from TOTL headphones and IEMs, speaks volumes to the quality of the M1060s and for the price a total bargain.

Excellent sound marred by poor noisy connections on the cans which sometimes just fall out. Prolly should have sent them back. Meh.

Worth every penny! Amazing

Simplesmente maravilhoso, vale o investimento. Recomendo
