I have a weird question. I noticed some struggled to fit the M1060 on their head. I have a larger head but have never had a headphone that couldn't accommodate it. But as reference does anyone have a DT770/DT880/DT990 and the M1060 and what settings do you have to wear each headband on? I have to have 5 dots showing on either side of the DT770 and DT990 for it to fit. Does the M1060 go that large? Thanks in advance!
With DT990's, I have the band set to as big as I can get and they are comfortable. I could probably click them one notch smaller and be fine.
With the 1060's, I have them at the biggest I can get, and I feel like I want one more notch. It's fine though, not too bad.
Your mileage may vary, the thing to note about the 990's is since the earcup cutoutss are round, and velour, I'm not too picky about what angle the headband is on my head. With the 1060's, since the earcup cutout is basically an oval shape (like our ears) and the cups are not breathable, I'm a bit more sensitive to how the headband is positioned. I kinda feel like as it relates to the earcup, I wish the angle of the cutout was slightly different. My ears feel more free if I have the headband at a different angle than what I'd normally wear them in. Unfortunately, with the headband at that angle, they would be too prone to falling off my head.
So no, I don't find them as comfortable as the dt990's with the stock pads on both. I'm contemplating picking up the audeze vegan pads, but I'm still trying to decide if investing any more money in the 1060's is worth it. I'm not really sold on the headphones yet. They are great for some genres of music I listen to, but I am really unimpressed with my favorites.
If I keep them and decide to stick with the stock pads, I might take the pads off and re-apply them, at a slightly different angle. That should help my problem a bit.
