I'm still a newbie at the Hi-Fi listening track, only started it by owning a Beyerdynamic DT990 Limited Edition at the end of November 2023. Since then I've owned many pairs, including HiFiMan HE-X4, HiFiMan Sundara, Moondrop Moonriver PARA, Monoprice Monolith M1070, Gold Planar GL2000, HiFiMan He-5xx, HiFiman He6Se V2, Monoprice Monolith AMT, Fostex TR50P 50th Anniversary Edition, and now finally the Monorpice Monolith M1570.

Frankly, this is by far one of the best cans I've put onto my ears(at least on par with the GL2000, and a little bit better than the initially insanely priced He6Se V2). It delivers very accurate mid to high-range vocal and piano reproduction, and also very accurate treble and bass without much over-exaggeration or distortion.

I like how it feels very comfortable for more than 6 hours of listening sessions, without overtly being sweaty like those HiFiman counterparts, and not as clampy as others. One best things is that despite having an insane sound stage, it is not leaky at all. I can use it in the office without being criticized.

I have to say this is really a piece of art, and definitely on the upper hand even compared to those higher end of Audeze models that people claim it copies from. The sound reproduction is just so clear and crisp, with all the aspects finely adjusted. With little to no EQ, this easy-to-drive headphone delivers a ton, no matter on the Monolith THX DAC/amp or the HiFiman EF400. The natural yet accurate reproduction almost reminded me of how an E88CC tube amp would produce.

Its a great product. I own the hifiman Ananda, which I thought was the best I could get under $1000.

The M1570 is better in some ways, may not have the treble detail, or the incredible transparency, but the M1570 is more "muscular" and amazingly great tuning.

there are idiots online complaining about the weight. with the softer pads they are snug and super comfy.

I also own the M1070, which I love and led me to the M1570.

Its my fave headphone right now!

I also own the cavalli liquid platinum dac. I also own the IfI hip dac3.

The liquid platinum dac is miles beyond.

Your products are amazing!

I tell everyone about it.

If anyone really reads this, I beg of you...

Tell me how I can get a new CAVALLI LIQUID PLATINUM AMP!

Thanks.

I'd really love a balanced cable for these headphones

This was my first pair of open back planar headphones..I had always used Beyerdynamic in my studio, but for crazy low price of these their flagships at $600 I thought why not ..they're big but well made, and very comfortable on my head..and the sound is fantastic..lots of definition and the frequency response is well balanced..they don't sound "plasticy" like some do?if you're looking for this style of headphone..get em..and look really nice on my walnut HP stand?

This monster met all my expectations for wonderful sound.

Great value for what they are. My only frame of reference is against Focals which do sound better to me, but are more than double the price. A little EQ goes a long way, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

They're heavy and big. If you have a small head or ears these cans might not be the ones for you. If you have a melon head like me then it's not a deterrent. Great sound quality. Full spectrum, good dynamics and relatively wide sound stage, though not as great as much higher price headphones. At this price point it's hard to beat these.

Great sound and comfortable very well priced

Very good sound and response for the price range. The bass may be a bit heavy, and the highs aren't perfectly balanced, but that's to be expected for the price. With how much more pricey a set with say 5% better quality becomes these are a great option. Unless you're financially prosperous or your buisiness relies on the quality of your cans, I'd definitely recommend.

I'm not going to tell you about these headphones as a veteran of "audiophile" headphones and gear, because I'm not. I'm sure a portion of you (just like I was before this purchase) are also not going to be super experienced and know exactly what you are looking for in a headphone, which is why I (as someone newer to all this) am here to help. For reference, my past headphones were (in order from first to most recent) - Steelseries Siberia V3 --> Audio-Technica ATH-M50X --> Monoprice Monolith M1570. To begin, these headphones are absolutely the best sounding headphones I've ever had, and you can tell without a doubt the difference in quality when comparing the prices of the headphones mentioned above. If you are: 1. looking to get into higher quality headphones, 2. Don't want to absolutely break your bank but still want the quality of headphones that do, and 3., want exciting sound (compared to a very neutral sounding headphone), then these are the cans for you.

SOUND - The bass in the M1570's are absolutely stellar, and when I was originally looking at open back headphones to purchase, this was a huge concern for me, as the majority of music I listen to is EDM. The first time I put the M1570's on (using a Mayflower O2 DAC/Amp) it was like wearing glasses for the first time. This is genuinely the only thing I can compare it to. My jaw physically dropped from the sound quality compared to the cheaper ($150 or below) headphones I was used to. I was finally introduced to REAL sound stage, and vocals are never squished together with audio or drowned out. Each sound is powerful but at the same time you can distinguish every single little thing from each other. Very subtle sounds I would normally never hear because of the louder audio drowning it is able to be not only heard but has me wonder "how I never heard this tiny little thing until now?" I am not an expert in headphones, but I do know that this is worth every single penny that I paid for it. I would not be surprised if (not knowing the price) someone put these on my head and told me these were $1000 headphones. I know difference prices doesn't always indicate the difference in quality, but I cannot stress enough how good the quality is for the price. If you have never ventured into headphones of this price range, and are ACTIVELY considering this as your first pair of higher quality headphones, without a doubt in my mind I promise these are the ones. Please do yourself a favor and experience putting on glasses for the first time like I did.

(Side note with weight concerns - I wear these for 8-12 hours a day and have 0 fatigue, even after a month of constant use. For me personally. Other people think it's too heavy, but as someone who wears headphones a lot, I don't even notice they are on my head.)
