Just got my second replacement set today and no issues. Also I am uber happy it's a darker finish. Depending on the angle and lighting it resembles a dark walnut finish.

Put a drop gun oil on the two joints, mine is already starting to have black paint chipped due to 'normal use', also helps to eliminate that weird squishy sound when adjusting the cups.

Any noticeable sound differences from your previous pair?

Any recommendation? Been a while since I bought gun oil.

Haven't sat down and taken a good listen yet. Just made sure both sides had sound. Letting them burn in for a few days. My first set was kinda harsh on the sound, and this was coming from DT990s.

Been using Lucas oils since the 1970's when I used to go hunting and still use it today for my pellet gun and 22

And modded. Not as clean as some of the others I've seen.

Finally got around to sit down and take a listen and I remembered how much I disliked the stock pads. So did a pad swap and thought I do the mod while there.

What pads did you use and how do you like them?

Audeze leather. My favorite pads. I was using them on my SHP9500S while I was waiting for my m1060s to arrive. I would buy a second pair for them but the pads are x2 the price of the 9500s lol.

These cans are awesome. I thought they sounded bad the first time I had it, but after 200+ hrs of burn-in, vegan+masking tape+no damping foam mod, it's a sonic bliss.

Where is the masking tape going and what is that accomplishing?

Two questions here: are there any proven good substitutes for vegan pads, in particular ones that can be bought in the EU? And is it safe to tear out the damping foam, since it seems to be sorta glued to the inside of the headphone in a couple points?

You can stick it back on with some double sided tape.

My unit had a severe case of harsh highs, it was apparent on cymbals and vocals especially women voice. I thought I had a defective unit, but sending it back to Monoprice is too much of a hassle, so I bought a pair of Vegan pads to remedy the issue. The highs were less harsh than before but it was still there. After looking around on the net, I found a reddit post that suggested to use duct tapes over the driver on the earpad. I experimented using a few types of tapes and found masking tape produces the best result for me. No more harsh highs, bass is a little bit better I think.

EDIT: I just realized you're the one who helped me a lot about M1060 and audiophile in general on the headphones subreddit. Such a small world lol.
