My insights on Zeos' Review of the M1070 / M1570
1) He mentions of having both for about 3 weeks before the review, and that he bent the hell out of them during that time period. Any metal bent consistently over a 3week period will fatigue and bend very easily, and he even jokes about this. "You know what happens when you bend metal too much?" The yokes can be shaped, however it's not 1-finger weak. So no, the metal isn't going to flex on you. My M1070 I've worn for several months, and the clamp on them has not weakened nor has the band misshapen. So Zeos is hyping this issue to show how insightful a reviewer he is.
2) Him griping about the M1570 pinouts isn't THAT big of a deal. The pinouts can be resoldered, adapters made or ordered, and if you don't have any balanced cables already, order ones for it. I myself will be getting mine from Hart Audio, so I can use the 2-piece setup to do SE and Balanced with the same mini-XLR cable. Tho, this will wait since I don't have a balanced amp, and the Asgard 3 delivering 2.3W @ 60ohm per channel kinda delays things,.
3) I hate the velour pads.
4) I need to make waifu grills on a 3D printer for the M1570. This is important.
