Best sounding headphones I've ever owned. They're heavy, so you'll feel a pressure point on the top of your head. You will get used to it, but they're not always comfortable headphones for long listening.

Great sound right off my iPhone even better with amp, ok build for the price. Would recommend

Sound - 9 out of 10,
Caps and pads - 9 out of 10,
Wires - 8 out of 10,
Headband - 4 out of 10,
Comfort - 7 out of 10.
Overall - very satisfied!

I find my m1060's much more enjoyable to listen to. There isn't too much about the overall sound of the 1060c that makes it stand out against any other headphones in the same price range. Admittedly I own much more expensive and higher quality headphones than the 1060c's but my original plan because of all I've heard about the new and superior driver's over the m1060 was to remove the ear cups and turn them into open back as suggested by many reviews to be able to compare them to much higher priced cans. Unfortunately I can't find any aftermarket open grills to help modd these into open cans. The end result is that they don't get much use as I have other much more satisfying cans to listen to. At this point I wish I was still within the return period because I would go so far as to say that they are overpriced for what you get and many other more desirable, better sounding headphones in this price range!!

Best investment I’ve made to my headphone collection, these CANS are incredible, however they need a quality headphone amp to make them sing. Highly recommended

Break these in and take off the cups. As many others pointed out, they start sounding good once this is done. Using SMSL M500 + SMSL SP200 THX AAA 888 combo and drives them hard. Not as detailed as say the Sundaras, but they are really enjoyable and worth the price. They are reasonably efficient and can be run off a Cobalt portable.

I bought the M1060C on a whim and absolutely love it. I own the 4xx and Fidelio X2, and love both, but was interested in potentially upgrading to the Hifiman Sundara or the 6XX. I really began loving the bass of X2, but was interested in the forward vocals of a Sennheiser. I felt like I would have to compromise somewhere. After doing brief research, it seemed the M1060C was getting great reviews in both bass and mids, so I purchased it on a whim And to my surprise, I have been blown away by the sound signature and quality.

It blows my 4xx out the water. The bass is thick and detailed, it puts the X2 bass to shame. The vocals are forward, with detail and heft behind them. The singer sounds right in front of you. It's EXACTLY what I wanted in a sound signature. You get that big, rich bass of a 100mm Planar, but with no compromise on detail in the mids. The highs are great too, but a little rolled off. So it actually makes these a dream to listen to.

As for build quality, I haven't had an issue so far; but it build is flimsy. The comfort isn't the best, but I actually find them surprisingly comfortable for their size once you get used to them. They stay on my head fine, a problem I've heard with the M1070 clamp force.

Overall, I am exceedingly happy with the M1060C and I feel like it's an unsung hero of the Monolith line. Maybe the M570 and M1070 are a hair better, but for the price, the M1060C is an outstanding value. As for the Sundara, everyone loves it, but from what I'm told, it's a very bright and crisp headphone, and I enjoy the bass and warmth of planars. So the M1060C is actually a better fit for me. I don't feel I'm sacrificing on details at all. The vocals are so detailed. I really love this headphone.

The ear cups are around 106mm outside diameter. The drivers are around 80mm if measured diagonally. Let's not be deceptive here. The rest is just giant bulk and weight. The headband is awful. Borderline garbage.

They sound fair as closed back, but really come into the light when converted to open back. If I wouldn't have converted them, I would give them 2 stars. Massive room for improvement. Probably my last Monoprice purchase.

Comfort: Weight is a major issue though in my mind, and they do feel quite tiring if you plan to wear them all day. Everything else is fine in terms of comfort, though the clamp force feels perfect.

Sound quality: All parts of the audio are detailed, but the bass often drowns out some of the high and mid range. The clarity you hear in the low end is something I've never personally experienced before. In rock music, you can hear the bass player in virtually every song, even the songs that are more mid and treble focused, which is a testament to how much bass these headphones actually put out.

Modding: Wish it came with an easily replaceable pad mechanism rather then glued on, but the leather is still quite comfortable anyways. Open back mods for this calm the bass and widen the sound stage as well as make them significantly lighter and more comfortable. The mids and treble is very noticeably more detailed without the wood back-plates.

I like the headphones. They sound good. I like to listen to edm and the bass was okay. Not much bass impact,I felt my mp80s had bigger bass impact. But the m1060c were much cleaner and clear. The sound stage is nice. and the mid's were great. High's lacked a little bit in comparison to the mid's. Isolation was not where I thought It would be. I wouldn't use this in an office space as the sound bleed is still noticeable in quiet environments. Also, the headphones came with a straight cable with a screw on adapter not the right angle cable like I'ive seen on some other unboxing videos.
