The Gamber - Kenny Rodgers. Don't sneer, that track is amazingly layered and wonderfully recorded. Towards the end there are 2 background singers and Kenny singing background and you can practically "see" each person.

Reply to Monoprice canceled my m1570c order. I guess you guys bought them all up when they were $200 and they still let my order go through? by didnt_ask_dont-care
Same happened to me! I placed my order on Mar 14th. Got shipping info Mar 26, and then they canceled and refunded me today Mar 27. I'm pretty sore about this one.

Yeah, a 500 Ohm driver. I bet tubes will love it!

I had the 60 Ohm version. Unfortunately, I had a magnet mishap. I had them in the Monoprice Retro frame with Brainwavz hybrid pads and was very surprised. I was going to put them into my Philips Fidelio frame and as I placed the driver on the table, the screwdriver magically shot across the table (really only couple of inches) and impaled the cone. I was super pissed and will buy them again sometime.

I went through a phase where I was buying all sort of drivers and putting them into whatever. The 2 biggest suggestions I can make are from Aliexpress.
52mm Denon Edge Free $70ish - They have a black plastic or brass housing versions. The 300 Ohm brass is amazing on tubes. A nice sightly V-shape depending what you put it in.
But I think the one you are looking for is the K100 50mm $80ish. It's a white/chrome cone with a blue housing. It is the MOST detailed thing I've ever heard. Almost like listening to a set of Makie monitors... almost. You will have to "tune" the cans to get it close to what you are looking for.

Your welcome.! The next step I (and many others) would suggest is getting the ifi Zen DAC or ZEN CAN Amp (which I would suggest now if you are going to get a DAC later). They both have the XBass and 3D features. The XBass gives you a tiny bump in bass and the 3D gives a tiny bump in clarity. Best $200 ever.

The meze was super impressive with separation, the likes I've never heard from any set. Just a bit too detailed for me.

I did the same thing! They were just too big for my head, or my ears are up too high. Probably my ears.

The 58X is perfect entry to this hobby. If you still find them to be too tight, DON'T try to bend the plastic headband. But instead, pull down the metal hangers/adjusters and bend those.

HA, Moon Audio... yeah. They love to assign characteristics to their cables like "Silver strands will pull out “lost” middle and high tones for maximum detail".

Good job! You will want to make or buy a strap for them (I'll post measurements when I get them) to get the weight off the top of your skull. The M1070 hurt my head after just a few minutes. I've made straps out of sham-wow and zipties and it is important.

You might need them. After a few months, I would think that a few will popup on AVExchange for $150. That's what I will do if I hate mine.

I going to bite. I haven't heard anything about the M1570C. I know they are heavy as a brick and that stupid mini XLR pinout is stupid, but for $185 I'm going to try it. Review coming soon.

I was bitchin' about this to my buddy, and he simply put it... "Everyone in that warehouse is stealing. Everyone." After looking at all the people saying they got their order dropped, and how wrong their inventory count was, I tend to agree.
