What customers say about "Key Specs"

Monoprice M1060C Closed Back Planar Magnetic Over-Ear Headphones

They are just awesome and produce such amazing sound.
I warn you, they sound so great especially at high volumes.
Love the wonderful sound of these cans however.
Sounded good for gaming very good imaging. Really nice Bass.
Can’t say enough good things about how these sound for gaming. Amazing low end!

Monoprice M1060 Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones

Open Headphones with Planar Magnetic Drivers. Rich, Clean, Beautiful. No complains about the sound.
Very good. Impedance is pretty low, so you can drive these with a phone. Bass response is relatively good for a PM.
The M1060 does sound fantastic especially for “old music” like jazz and blues.
Sound is just amazing, my daily drivers are Fostex TH900 and I haven't felt that M1060s were missing something.
The biggest upgrade is the base its so good and detailed and louder with out sacrificing the midst and treble.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Monoprice M1060C Closed Back Planar Magnetic Over-Ear Headphones

I was worried about the weight when i picked them up but the weight honestly melts away when on my head no issues at all.
They call a lot of attention to themselves. I like this size on my head.
I dont want to wear them longer than 30 mintues due to the pressure headaches and pain on one spot on my head.
A bit heavy on the head and for some, causing overly warm ears after prolonged listening sessions.
Too much movement and they will slide off of your head very easily.

Monoprice M1060 Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones

The M1060 very comfortable on my head and many times I used for more than 3 hours watching movies.
As for comfort, the Monolith’s immediately found their place on my rather large head.
The headband digs into my head after a while almost to the point of being painful.
I have a large head and as a consequence the headband applies the entire weight of the headphones to one point on the top of my head.
I wish the headband distributed the weight of the headphones across the head more evenly.

What customers say about "Features"

Monoprice M1060C Closed Back Planar Magnetic Over-Ear Headphones

They also have a neat feature of having a detachable cord.
The cord actually plugs into each can which is a nice feature especially.
If you damage the cord you can just replace it. Awesome feature.
The wide Soundstage allows you to hear the music as it was meant to be heard with a warm but widely dynamic sound.
Tested with several computers and smartphones playing lossless music (mostly FLAC), to DAC/AMP Centrance HiFi M8, to these headphones.

Monoprice M1060 Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones

I never felt the need to enable any Tube emulation features, or bass boosters, or anything like that. Perfect headphones.
Air-flow is quite good for leather/leatherette, enabling longer listening sessions.
Cabling, while not as thick as you'd probably like to see on a higher-end headphone, still feels of good quality.
The cups are deep and thick, very comfortable to wear for several hours of listening.
The jack that comes with is garbage and would drop left any time i moved so i just used another.
