Got these..cups off....low-end reminds me of my good old Audeze LCD-2.1's.
Phantoms have a more natural tonality,a 'sweetness' to the way they deliver.. nudge more microdetail but less subs...if I could just combine the two...this cruel game of endgame cans hunting as I can only keep 1 set.
M1060C lighter weight than I imagined..Audeze 2CB seemed a bigger chunk of weight from memory. Earpads feel same quality grade and compression as 2C/B....better than Phantom stock pads which are shallow and don't seal so well.

Would have been good to see a Valour review guy expanded comparison to 2CB cups on and 2C cups off....1060C not as dark as my prior 2Cs....could hear that 2-3K scoop and spike kind of with the cups on...something 'off"....2CB uses a resistor network glued in the cup to even that out, but side-effect IMO was too much bite/attack to the delivery vs buttery 2Cs...
My cups grain kind of 90% to angle I'd put them on personally...not much of a match in bookend of grain...one has supreme grain...the other not so much...but I'll strip them both down to Zebrano natural tone anyway.

Free VST/AU Audeze Reveal Plug-in can tweak the sound around with about 20 presets and a dry/wet dial...

I did use 2CB to block out awful cafe music in past....do not care what cans look like in public in the slightest...music soon pulls you in..haha....so I'm looking out for a message from the cups kit guy in this thread to see if it looks good to add this click-on/off kit to them for outside and cups off all the way in private....
Voices for netflix movies...Phantom seems to have the edge...less added brogue/grain to male voices...
What a ramble.
Time for more 'Depth Charge' tracks to test out these monsters.

Late to the party, but I'm really liking these exclusively for electronic music...

Plastic stock strap completely removed and my community known "Lohb strap" in double layer leather installed. Should have made it for 1060C ages ago...

My friend said they sounded slightly tonally off for organic music and something funky (but small) going on in the mids...ignorance is bliss when you listen to electronic music, which has no easy to distinguish real world tonality mostly....
These are a keeper 4sure....nearest to LCD2.1 I have found in bass and mids after longer listening.
5-year warrant to boot.

Just received my grill kit (with adaptor plate) from armattan productions! For me, the magnet in the m1060c isn't strong enough to hold the cups on. It's oriented the right way and everything. Anyone have any thoughts?

Oooh, was about to buy that kit myself, will hold off and see how it pans out on a solution.

How about pantyhose mod? Like use stretched pantyhose instead of those thick pads. Should prevent from dust going in and since they are thin they should sound good too

That's what I did on my M1060s. Works great.

Have you tried wrapping the pegs with tape to make them thicker? Possibly something grabby or velcroey(assuming people who mod m1060 have a crapload of them) to lock onto the grille holes.

you could also try this trick: d.tools4.co.za/blog/2017/05/03/magnetize-a-screwdriver-bit-or-screw/

if it still isn't enough, consider getting these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-PAIR-4-B...139688?hash=item26141c0c28:g:QTgAAOSw-dBTwT5a

anyone owned Audioquest Nightowl along with 1060C..? They seem similar from descriptions..

I got M1060C last friday, printed hexacon grilles and fazors in the back and added same kind of fabric to the grilles as it's behind the pad. These sound pretty decent, I like the soundstage being a bit larger than modded 58X and the bass response. These are first planars for me and I like them a lot. I'm currently waiting connectors and wire to make balanced cable to iDSD nano BL.

How's the front fazors done, if anyone's tried? I didn't want to make extra layer of plastic between pad and driver housing but I did try them a bit. Maybe more clear and brighter sound; as surprisingly did the rear fazor do too. Bass response didn't change that much. So I left the original structure on the pad side.

So has anyone actually measured Open back M1060C? It would be nice to see Harman EQ presets some day

 

[TheHeedHunter]

I got the Monoprice upgrade cable. It was supposed to be 5ft or 1,5m and it really was 2m long (is it 6-7ft?, as long as original). It is really nice quality, I opened the 3,5mm jack and switched it to 3,5mm balanced for Ifi iDSD nano BL. It was done well in the inside, good reliever with the ground clip. Hoped for some hot glue there too maybe but it is well made. I'd recommend defitinely for the price, and as it was surprise that it was that long. The 3,5mm jack was angled too. I got straight from the OG cable.

Here are some cheap options for M1060C Open Back Grills. There are several wood craft companies that make circular rings, ornaments etc using plywood. They usually come in 4 inch or 5 inch sizes but they will happily cut one in exactly the size you need (104mm or I think 4 1/8 will also fit). Best thing is the cost, they cost anywhere between $1 each to $7 for a ten-pack. Best way to mount them would be using thin strips of removable double sided gel tape. Here are some example links.. Remember, you will have to specify the exact size you need when ordering.

Have you tried any of these or any other open back grills on the 1060C or do you prefer the 1060C as a closed back?

I have tried just removing the backs and listening to the M1060C. The low end seems less restrained and I think the mids are a little cleaner but this is a very brief impression as I was eager to get the closed backs back. I ordered a couple of the grills in the links above. I will install them and give the M1060C-Open a proper workout and report back.

Getting around to some mods on these. Already removed the outside grill and foam.

Just now I removed the foam in the middle of the pads. Sounds clearer.

1. The rectangular stuff in the center against the metal. Thats just for protection right? Anyone remove it? I forgot but I think there was similar stuff on the outside too. I already removed that.
2. Any one replace the internal wiring? It appears to be held on with a nut of some sort. How do I get it off to replace the wiring?
3. Besides just knowing, is there any reason to remove the screws on the side against the pad. I did that on the m565 and it was worthless and somewhat dangerous given the magnets.

For give me if it was covered already but who has time to go through 58 pages?

Thanks,
