The Box Packaging listing specs States this has a 106mm driver yet your Full Specs listed on website is 66mm. Which is it?

106mm??? The entire earcup is only 85mm wide, hence no room for a 106mm driver. I’m sure it’s actually 66mm. BTW I like the headphones.

Is there a left ear and a right ear cup?
A shopper
on Dec 9, 2019
BEST ANSWER: No, the cups seem to be a symmetric design. The cable connectors have L and R labels so channels are assigned to the cups based on which connector you plug in.

Compared to 565 open back, is the 565 closed back tuned differently, have same driver & different magnet and will DMS3 review the 565C please ?
frank d
on Feb 17, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The closed backs are tuned differently and use a different driver. It is based on 565 driver, but it needs to be optimized to work in a closed back enclosure.

Losing sleep
Sleep deprived in the week of receiving these because I'm staying up late listening to my music collection. Enough said?

Nice
As advertised. Great sound, comfortable to wear. Cord was too short though. Should make it easy to order an extension, if not making the cord longer to begin with.

Solid and satisfying. Great sound
surprisingly satisfying. I love these for their heft and subtle cherrywood-esque accents on the cans. The sound quality is worth every penny.
I also appreciate that these headphones make me look unapporoachable. Their look clearly implies that I expect
my headphones to be saying something more interested in what my headphones have to say.

Truly awesome
I purchased these for my teenage daughter as an Xmas present. Now I am not an audiophile, I do not like over the ear headphones, BUT: in comparing these to my in-ear Final E4000's, there is a CLEAR difference. I'm writing this the day after Xmas when everyone else is still sleeping, and when I plugged in the Monoprice headphones, I immediately jumped because there is SUCH a realistic and 360^o sound which comes from them that I thought I hadn't pushed the plug in all the way. Totally and completely awesome. They also seem extremely well constructed and due to last a long time.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of construction and the amazing sound. Odd looking but have become favorite headphones. They are worth a listen. Highly recommended

Very Good For The Bucks
I was very skeptical when i purchased these cans that are very cheap for planars. Pleased so far with their Very smooth sound with tight bass. Bass is not over blown but clear and tight. Picks up very low bass notes nicely. Highs and mids detailed and sweet. I am able to drive them fairly well with my Android phone. Better sound with headphone output from both of my 2 stereo preamps. I will be purchasing a headphone amp and dac which should improve things even more. Build quality seems fine with detachable cable. SURPRISINGLY Comfortable to wear.

Great fit. Great sound. Love them.
They look good, and fit really well. Not too heavy, and dont give me a headache if I wear them for hours. The sound quality is great. The audio cable is lightweight, sturdy, and detachable. Im really happy with these headphones and have no complaints.

Planar Magnetic Consistency.
I would recommend this product for people that appreciate Audiophile headphones. The M565C has prominent mids and the bass is planar bass that is consistent but blends in with everything else. Not a fuller, driving bass sound that sticks out in the mix. Also, NOT a v shaped sound signature. Some may think that planar magnetic sound, and the driver tuning in the M565C, becomes boring and bland after awhile. Others will be impressed by the large Soundstage and details in the overall sound.
The sound of the M565C is beautiful, fuller in the balance, brighter with treble sparkle, and emotionally moving. Bass is fast planar bass that blends in. The build is excellent as are the wire and connectors. It is a very dark headphone including the wood cups. In my opinion, borderline portable with a squared off metal frame. Visually, everything blends with a darker theme.
There was some minor sibilance, hot treble in less than stellar or older recordings. Again, an Audiophile headphone that will not gloss over flaws in the music source. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PURCHASING. In this case, price is not an indication of headphone style and sound signature.
