I'm still a little interested in hearing a M1060 that has been modded.

Ha ha, Dave: didn't we conclude that these weren't headphones for you? I say that because I was just listening to them last night and, while I still think they're better than the 560 for pop (not for acoustic music), the M1060 is at its best when played loud. I mean these are headphones that I just have to blast because they sound great loud. I've said this before and I'll say it again: they are very dangerous headphones that way. But I know from what you have said that you tend to listen on the softer side.

Shouty/harsh mids are what it sounds like to me and I'm pretty sure it's caused by inner pad reflections...pad swap made them so much better

Which pads did you swap to and have you done the fuzzor mod? I did both and can say there is just nothing shouty or harsh about my pair now. As I was just saying above, they are so not shouty or harsh that these are headphones that I want to turn up and up as loud as possible. I have to be careful with them or I'll destroy my hearing.

I have audeze vegan pads with CSkippy's paper towel mod. Nothing harsh about them now. I was speaking about them stock, from what I remember.

Hey guys this is my first post in head-fi forum.

I feel sad that the first post has to be something unexpected. I ordered the m1060 during the black friday sale and received it in 30 November. After listening to it for 30 minutes, I left it on my table ( Actually waiting for Magni 3 to arrive). Suddenly decided to try it on xduoo x3 without amplification, picked it up and realized that I wore the headphone wrong way(angled pad issue, It might sound funny because I am a newcomer in this). So I tried to detached the cable and put them the other way. But to my horror, the tip of one 2.5mm jack got broken and stayed inside the port ! Now I am totally lost and sad, didn't expect this to happen at all. Now the question is, is this covered under warranty? I have sent the Monoprice support center an email about it and waiting for their response. Can you guys share your experiences? Did this happen to anyone else here??

For grins, try reattaching the broken tip into the socket where it broke off in. My grandson broke a 3.5 mm headphone jack into my daughters phone, like yours. I simply reattached into the socket, and low and behold the tip came back out on the cable. If it works, you could then purchase a better cable and try it again.

Hello everyone,

I just got my pair of M1060s on Friday. I've been listening to a lot of different genres of music to see where these really shine. I really like electronic music on these.

I performed the Fuzzor mod, which seemed to tame the peaks in the treble a little bit. I want to do a pad change, but I don't think it is possible to get the Audeze vegans anymore? What would be a good pair to use in place of those?

Also; What would be a good set of headphones to get that will compliment the warmer sound of the M1060? I'm thinking a more analytical set of headphones would be excellent to have as my second set.

DMS3 TV on youtube shows how it's done. Easy and cheap ... and effective !!

I have a couple of potentials for sale that might well fit the bill. I've PM'd you ...

+1 I, too, believe that electronic music or pop with a lot of electronic stuff is where the M1060 shines the best.

I really like these pads. Not quite as deep as the stock, but I don't find a difference in sound. I've also done my Creatology mod to them by cutting a strip of it and sticking it to the front/top/bottom of the inside to cut down on the slight bit of harshness that mine have. My v.2 set has slightly less than my first, V.1 1060's did. The ones that basically fell apart on me

Those look like knock-off Eikon Pads.

I don't know, but they are nice quality leather and construction. How much are the Eikons ??

$70. The dimensions are almost identical. I've got a pair in my hand right now and it looks exactly like the picture.

70 plus shipping ... about double the price, as these include shipping. They are 110mm, and the cans are 105mm, so there is a very slight overlap, which basically disappears anyway.

My Beyerdynamic DT880 and Philips Fidelio L2 complement my m1060 quite well. They all get even head time while my other headphones sit there all lonely
