I like the M1060 with stock cable more than my Sennheiser 6xx with balanced cable. It sounds more open and probably more even across the frequency spectrum. Bass is also better despite being less prominent.

What improvements will different grills provide for an M1060 without ringing issues? There are definitely variations in drivers. My original M1060 was brighter and had the ringing issue. Replacement pair is darker and no ringing.

Are there mods for M1060's that are darker sounding and have no ringing?

My first pair of the M1060 had ringing and somewhat peaky treble. The right driver went out and I received a pair that has absolutely no ringing and sounds neutral to a bit dark. Do those without ringing benefit from any mods?

Super quick..They shipped new headphones the same day or day after my return reached them, and I received them in three days, tops, on the East Coast.

Hmm ok, thanks.. None of the made to order sellers charge less than $70. or more.

2.5mm to 4-pin xlr can be had inexpensively? Everything I've seen has been $70+.

I'm on the fence about spending money on a balanced cable. My headphone amp has a true balanced circuitry. I've seen recommendations to use its balanced output for best sound. Will I hear a significant difference from the stock cable?

I think it's been out a while, if the same one I downloaded from Nuprime's web site. I use it on a Windows 8.1 desktop. It's the only driver I've used so can't compare to previous versions, but has been very solid. No stability issues at all that I've noticed.

Thank you, I appreciate it.. Very helpful.

The diy O2 I bought several years ago no longer charges. What batteries does it need, and are they easy to install?

Schiit should give you a discount after so many purchases.

Play 'Come Again' by Damn Yankees at a fairly high volume and see if your pair doesn't sound harsh/have ringing during some of the louder and complex passages.

I feel like the 'lowly' Sennheiser HD-555 has woken up a fair amount with the DAC-10H. Never liked them at all with an O2 amp and ODAC but have had them on my head several hours the last few days. Now I'm wondering what the HD-600 and 650 might sound like out of the Nuprime.

I can't get any of the front panel buttons to do anything.

The wires are still connected. If they weren't, I can't solder anyway.

My left driver just stopped working. I haven't even had these on my head that much since buying them around April. How difficult is the return/refund process with Monoprice? Will I have to pay for return shipping?

Is it possible to get a decent 2.5mm to 4-pin xlr headphone cable for less than $100.00?

Thanks, I watched this video several days ago, but in fpantalone's post above, it sounded like he was talking about modification to the actual pads, in addition to the Fuzzor mod??

Is there a video showing how to do the pad mod? Thanks.

This UK store seems to have the Audeze Vegan pads in stock. Cost would be about $92.00 with shipping to the U.S.. https://www.audiosanctuary.co.uk/audeze-earpads.html

Am I correct that dsd files won't play with the eitr in the chain?

Audeze leather pads have also been discussed here, and may be just as good with the M1060 as the vegan pads.. I haven't tried either.

Are any of the fazor or fuzzor mods possible without voiding the Monoprice warranty?
