Yeah, that connector looks absolutely craptacular. Bleagh.

BTW, looking at the pix, the M1060 looks similar to a pre-fazor LCD3 with the 9 slits. Credit photo from http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/spectacularly-yummy-audeze-lcd-2-and-lcd-3-page-2
Is it a clone of the LCD-3 then?
I'd have to go with a no even though the design looks similar. The LCD-3's are very lush and warm silky smooth headphones, and that does not seem to be the type of sound signature described so far by those who got a pair.
The type of the connector has been known since February 16th when the first and only review was published. If this connector is known to be a problem why so many people ordered the phones?
I feel the mood of this thread is becoming hysterical. 3 out 5 people are having intermittent problems with the connector, out of 500 headphones sold. The sample size is too small to call it statistics.

No issues with my connectors. Make sure you match the orientation when hooking them up.
These are Chinese knock off of Audeze headphones. Not a bad thing for $300!

It may be too soon to call it a fail, but it seems like a great headphone ruined by an under-performing connector. Too bad..
Let's just see how it holds up the test of time.

The measurement don't look horrible indeed. I'm willing to risk disconnection issues to try these out, and I can always mod down the road if necessary. Ordered!
Which ones?

Because that one (anonymous) published review was questionable with respect to legitimacy, as it predates the availability of the phones.
The sample size is so small since only a few people have gotten their pairs, they only just shipped out yesterday.
We will see if its a very serious problem as the week goes on.
I can tell you that I'd be very unhappy spending 300 bucks on a brand new phone and the connector is finicky. Would you not?
Why anonymous? The name is mentioned there. And also there was a comment from Monoprice on how he obtained the phones. Seems very legitimate.
I've heard LCD 2, LCD X and LCD XC. They're closest to LCD 2. Good bass extension, lowered mids and treble and a slight rise after 10kHz. Strings, guitars and piano are pushed back. Voices are slightly back as well. An enjoyable listen but not "neutral" like a studio monitor or an HD6XX which have better timbre.
Calling it in between an LCD-3 and HE-1000 seemed far fetched to me and made his review questionable.
If they are really that good, that would be amazing and Ill eat my words but Im quite doubtful of it.

Perhaps after they get flooded with repairs they may upgrade to a decent connector free of charge.
And that made you think he was lying about the connector type in the review obviously approved by Monoprice?
