Just got the M1570's brother. Had to grab it before it most likely ends up being disconnected (:

Can confirm that one works, had it for almost a year. No problems what so ever. The shop is on vacation through so you'd have to wait a bit before you can order one of those or a different one from their store.

You'd think the closed would be able to deliver more bass haha. I do have the open and I have applied oratory's EQ with the lambskins, haven't gone past +10db on the bass though as I feel that's more than enough for me at least for now. They seem to play fine with my Zen stack. I'm quite happy...

Do you still use your M1570C? I've seen that you also own the M1570, how are they in terms of passive noise cancellation / noise leakage? I'm definitely looking for a closed back to keep some sounds away as my current environment can get a bit noisy.

I was going to go ahead with a headband replacement but Instead ordered the Focal comfort strap from Capra Audio and it's definitely made it more comfortable and added some stability to it for less than $25.
