I received the Chinese headband, it doesn’t fit…. yokes are too small….


Apart from that, the suspended headband is to short for bigger heads and they added a stick on pad for the top, which vitiates the purpose of the suspended headband design….

Sorry to hear that.
Thank you for the follow up report.

Anyone know if this headband would fit the M1570?

Ended up buying this after seeing someone use a HE560 V2 headband and apparently this one is really similar to it so fingers crossed that this will work!

Finally got annoyed with the weight of these headphones when I go between it and my AIAIAI TMA-2

Wanted to share a nice deal on Amazon: Master & Dynamic has discontinued their wired IEM line, so they are liquidating their IEMs. I nabbed 2 pair of their flagship ME05 in brass, and just ordered a set in Paladium. They have a warm signature, and very smooth and full sounding, and sound similar to my M1570, just without the deep subbass extension. And, they're down to $7.95 a set. (Original MSRP $199, tho recently $60+) I don't believe there is any warranty, so buy 2.

I purchased two as you had suggested.
Thank you!

I recommend the HiFiMAN Sundara headband, which does fit these (slight tweaks needed for the pins, but the overall size is spot on). Not cheap.

yeah, I´ve ordered one, but DPD screwed up...
It should´ve been delivered on June 20th, at first was marked as delivered, an hour later as not deliverable/declined. Support wasn´t helpful at all.
And the seller can`t ship another one because it was the last in stock....

Is there a guide for the swap? I'm curious. Also I assume changing out your headband voids your warranty?

You can email Monoprice Support and ask them if it does. I would think it would, but you never know.

Page 18 of this thread. Someone made a post with instructions on how to do it.

It's against the law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) to disallow warranty claims for properly executed non-destructive part swaps and to only limit denials to actual damage caused by part swaps (ie you cannot deny a claim for a bad driver because someone scratched a earcup casing doing a headband swap). That being said, it's not entirely damage free, and no one follows the law. I made my swap assuming any warranty claims would be problematic.

Thanks guys on the warranty thoughts. I'll have to think it over. While on one hand a more supportive, lighter headband would be nice. But on the other hand one of the reasons I bought these is Monoprice's excellent 5-year warranty. Wouldn't want to mess that up.

I would wait til the warranty is up, then experiment.

They sound great for the money $7.95. Less bass and clarity than $14 CCA CRA. But the accessories are well worth the money. Great deal for some backup IEM.
