I honestly found this Monolith M1070 very beautiful, looking forward to see if this beauty proves so good in sound quality.

They look fantastic. I wonder if the drivers are the same as the ones they used in the M1060C. Do y'all remember when the 'best' Monoprice branded headphone was the 8323? They have really been stepping up their game. I personally don't mind them borrowing design elements from other manufacturers. Realistically there are only so many choices you can make without evoking elements of other headphones. You have two cups and a headband, there's only so many directions you can go with that.

The impedance looks different from the M1060C so they’re probably a new driver.

I like the new headband, it looks too close to Focal’s though.

I'm pretty excited about these as I have been looking for a planar upgrade for my HE4XX. If reviews suggest these beat the Sundaras, they'll be it.

The problem with initial reviews is that everyone wants to find a giant killer or be the first out with a review so they may overlook certain things. I bought the M1060 because people said it was basically a cheaper Audeze and it really disappointed me because it wasn’t.

After not falling in love with the 1060s, even after serious modding, I too will wait on 1070 and 1570 reviews...

Monoprice has made it really hard to return items lately, so I am also waiting. They made me jump through a lot of hoops last couple times I needed to return a Monoprice branded monitor and speaker amp.
