Review on 🎧 Monolith M1060 Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones - Black/Wood: 106mm Driver, Open Back Design, Studio Comfort Ear Pads by Sylvia Young

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'll update this as I continue - Updated -

So far they seem sturdy and looking good. . Very flat/cloudy when connected directly to a laptop or tablet. For now, the soundstage and picture are decent, and the bass is good and punchy for an open back. Less than 990 dts but so far it's the only thing they're doing "better". I will be taking them to work in a few days and using my schiite mod1 with small dot 2 with audioquest interconnects. Comfort - Fairly comfortable, although the pressure from the top band is a bit noticeable. I'm just looking at the table with the laptop and I can feel them slip slightly, not the tightest feeling. There will be an update in the future. Update - I've been using it full time for about a week. with some spare between dt990 and 770. little dot 2modi2 uber. This is based on personal sound, not scientific testing. Sound and picture are quite weak, for the price I expected much more. I think the 770 has more of both. Feel sturdy in your hands and comfortable to wear all day. The jack that came with it is junk and falls to the left with every move so I just used a different one. The sound is kind of flat or some say "natural". Not bad headphones, just not worth 300 IMO. I really wanted them to like it. If they were 200 or less I would go but I will return eventually.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • embarrassing
