Dam Zeos. I just pulled the plug and paid to get them delivered next Tuesday . I already own the HIFIMAN 400-I and have apair of Mr. Speakers Aeon  on order. Now have to contact Ted Allen from Headphone lounge to make a a a balanced cable  for SR-71B Blackbird amp. 
 
Any special cable configuration to make a balanced cabel? Is stadard MMC confinguration like Audeeze?
 
I let you you know how they sound soon.

I hardly ever do this...but I just ordered the 1060s! Let's see shall we?

 

[leeperry]

  Yes, and we're hoping & praying for no leftover B-stock, returned or refurbed Audeze drivers here in these Monoliths !

 
Someone already posted a link to the more than probable OEM maker of those drivers and listening impressions were seriously bad at the time.
 
Going back to knock-offs, Lehmann Black Cube Linear headamp's design has been stolen a zillion times by the Mstage and a lot more on ali(that even say "Lehmann" on the front huh), they're still for sale and are actually better than the original because the former runs a terribly dated OPA2134 opamp when Mstage can run the latest chips such as LME49990.....The chinese excel at bringing prices down, they just don't care for copyrights.

You may be able to 'drive' it via some Fiio but for providing full power and hence making the drivers sing you need juice. Another thing, even though some Fiio product advertise high ratings they are not good at putting high output, they start distorting. That's why it's said an amp shouldn't break a sweat.

I've heard the Cayin C5 and Xduoo XD-05 can drive some high impedance headphones with ease such as the HD600/HD650 and HE400i. The XD-05 puts out 500mw at 30ohms and the C5 puts out 800mw at 30 ohms. So the M1060 being 50ohms. Think these amps should have enough juice to power these cans? I'm also considering the Mojo but price is to high for me right now.

Even Centrance Slim drives HD6xx very well but for making full use of the can's potential it needs high output. Same applies to T50rp or any other high impedance cans or planars. Remember that T50rp has an impedance of only 50ohms so impedance alone doesn't decide the need for an amp sensitivity matters too. Let the cans arrive listen through your gear then decide whether it sounds good with your current setup or not. Others here would also chime in with their pairs so you will have a better idea. It's too early to say anything.

That is true, well so far the wait for impressions are killing me haha. Time shall tell .

If only the 20% off code worked on the 1060 today.. I would have immediately bought it.

 

[Saoshyant]

Same here. Might still break down and buy it anyways, but reviews will surface soon.

Hello, My name is Bob and I am an audiophile addict. 

I just bought them, Cant wait to get them!

If it comes even close to performing in the manner the specs imply, it's a steal at full price.
 
Hands-on reviews will tell the story...

As a budget finding enthusiast, I want to jump on these right now.
 
As a Head-fier, I have far too many headphones and IEMs with no need for another and could wait a bit for more reviews. The MMCX option could be the greatest thing, or a QA nightmare. I already have balanced cables I can use that I share with my IEMs, which is a huge plus.

 

[Nrocket]

So with the 30 day return policy I can return them if I don't like them?

 

[peter123]

Even if the MMCX connector should fail I'd imagine it'd be pretty easy to replace them on such a large surface (compared to IEM's).

I'm also really close at pulling the trigger.......

 

[gtb75]

Zeos seems to really like the M560: https://youtu.be/vgAf-_aGR5M

 

[darinf]

On an impulse, I pulled the trigger, but after my experience with the M560 impulse buy, I decided to cancel my 1060 order.
 
I'll just wait for impressions.
