great to see more companies getting into the ortho market. could drive prices down as manufacturing processes improve

Subbed.
 
 
VERY interesting.  My LCD-X never leaves the house, so I find myself in the market for high fidelity portable audio, like many of us.  
 
Love the planar sound.  Dynamics like no other tech.  
 
 
My iDSD Micro has been demoted to future portable/office use.  I will be trying a pair of the M1060, most definitely.  Curious how it will stack up to the HifiMan 400s.

I'm being lazy because I don't feel like researching this myself... But is there a tentative or definite release date on the m1060's? Has anyone purchased anything from this company in the past and if so any comments?

It's still TBD.

if those 1060's are from the oem I think they are they are likely using a driver designed very closely after audezes drivers.

About 3 years ago I purchased a pair of in ear headphones that were $7.99 I had heard good things about them. Looks aside, they sounded better than most in ears I had heard in the $99 dollar range. Good low end, adequate minds and highs. They weren't the cleanest sounding earphones, but I wasn't trying to compare them to my shure se530. I used them for my modern music. I was so surprised at how good they sounded that I purchased 5 more pairs and gifted then out as Christmas presents. Monoprice may not have the best physical presentation (saving money on materials) , but soundwise their equipment punches well above it's weight class. Looking forward to seeing these when they are released. My primary reason for holding off on a new pair of home headphones. Was looking at saving up for AKG 812, but am very interested in a good planar. We shall see

Thanks for the info, I'm really looking forward to their release and then upcoming reviews to follow.

Still have never tried planars before but at this price it's definitely worth a shot

 

[LajostheHun]

I'm just hoping 1/2 a kilo is not it's actual weight. That's just way to frikkin heavy.

Planars are heavy

LCD2 and HE-500 are about the same weight.. so yeah.. they're heavy.

 

[sabloke]

Planars are heavy

Not my PM-3s

The M1060 looks very interesting.
 
The driver specifications are near of a LCD2 :
driver size : 106mm
SPL : 130db
Impedance : 70ohm

Not my PM-3s

at 330g, it certainly isn't the lightest around nor is it the heaviest for a headphone but with a planar driver size of 55mm, it's still pretty heavy. Aren't the sides made of plastic?

 

[Lohb]

I'm surprised how close they have taken the design to the original LCD-2 which was about unique as it gets vs what was on the market 2010.
