Am I the only one without any QC problem?

No cracking, connectors are good unless I pull on the cable (too short) or bump them (pointing towards shoulder), no sharp edges. I feel like I might have the perfect M1060!

Time to try better cables and connectors in balanced XLR.

So after 4hours (yes i'm slow), finally got them done and been listening the last couple hours.  It's so much better now.  Bass hits harder, resolution is improved, instrument separation, and overall crisp all improved.  
The Single Crystal OCC Cu cable works great.  Although now I might have to swap out the headphone jack from mmcx t0 2.5mm jacks so I can use my HE1000 V2's 12core solid silver litz cable given the improvement.   So will probably throw these cables to FS tomorrow.

Nicely done!  I would've just hardwired the cable though.

It's the cable. Buy a replacement mmcx cable and it should fix it.

 
I swapped the cable with my Shure IEM cable and no cutting off now. time to shop around.
Monoprice should ship a better cable as a replacement to all those who bought the first batch of M1060. It will be a waste for them and the customers to send the same stock cable as replacement.

Sadly got hit with some terrible news, a lifelong friend died unexpectedly, so my night went to crap. Weekend is not looking good for impressions. Just really don't feel like playing with headphones. Meeting with friends later tonight to celebrate his life. 

So sorry for your loss. Do what you need to do...

There aren't any.  Fat part of pad is the rear.

lol

We had some internal photos on the thread, and was anyone able to go inside to look at the magnetic structures compared to Audeze ?
 
Tyll says the LCD-2 and LCD-3 use different magnetic structures, so wonder which one the M1060 is closest to in that regard, rather than the diaphragm ?

  I'll only say this once, and it's just my position but people used to do the same thing for HD650 replacement pads.  Stock genuine replacement pads are ~$53 on Amazon.  People don't want to pay that much and buy the Brainwavz pads of their choosing.  I've tried three of the Brainwavz pads and they are nice pads but they ALL screw up the frequency response.  
 
Think of a pad as the room in which your speakers are located.  People who are used to speakers know that the room is the most important thing to get right.  $300 speakers in a properly set up and treated room will wipe the floor off of $3,000 speakers in an untreated/poorly set up room.  
 
 
 

 
I agree with this entirely, but there is a solution to add some coolness and comfort...hybrid pads like the HiFiMan Edition X or HE1000s... suede for your face and leather for the 'room' between your ears and the drivers.

Really sorry to hear that. Take care

I asked them and they don't hold any mmcx cables. Shame we didn't get the one in their images on the webpage. Probably turned out to much them over the $300 dollar threshold

 

[davehutch]

   
My pair came from the factory with the grill plate on the R side installed upside down - that's one way to differentiate them.  Anybody else have this?  Had a good chuckle after I noticed it tho, wanted to pat Monoprice on the head. 

Me. I turned it around yesterday. Mine was 90 degrees rotated

Dumb question..how do i know which side is right or left?

 

[manny49]

The thin side of the earpads should always face forward. Orientate your headphones accordingly and you'll know which is left and right.

Dumb question..how do i know which side is right or left?

The fat part of the pads go towards the back,the seams to the front.
