Ill add more details later tonight, but my M1060s first came covered in mold. I RMA'd and got ones that merely had a moldy carrying case (which ill never use). And while I was waiting on my RMA, my ZMF suede pads arrived.

$240 for M1060 (20% off coupon)
$75 for the ZMF pads
$4 for a pad of adhesive felt

1. I don't like the head band, too much pressure on the top of my head. Will have to mod at a later time.
2. Listened stock, then removed outer foam dust covers. Sound and air pressure much better with no foam.
3. Stock pads suck. ZMF pads are awesome both in comfort and better sound. Totally worth the $75 upgrade. Lovely.
4. Listened for a day with new pads, then spent yesterday afternoon slicing up felt to make fuzzors. Listened for about an hour... intently. Ripped the fuzzors off and went back to without them. My V2 M1060s with ZMF pads and no fuzzors is how I like it the best. $319 total for those wonderful sounding cans.

Paired to a little dot MK3 and SMSL Sanskrit DAC. My listening style is Jazz, EDM, rock, and whatever sounds like a mix of these things. Previous headphones are the HD6XX

You should print honeycomb custom grills, designs have been posted previously. Really good ar reducing reflections from the original metal grills.

Is there any major improvements to be expected in sound quality if upgrading to a balanced cable or anything similar high-quality cable? What I've heard, generally in speakers - cables are the last thing you should consider when buying hifi. Of course, all these things depends on personal preferences. At some point I would be interested in also to upgrade my m1060 cable (maybe just for sexier looking, lol) but prices tend to go pretty high usually.

Sorry to say but you have been mislead - cables (speaker, interconnect and power) are really important in fine-tuning your system and should not be considered as a waste of money or the least important thing.

I have custom made cable for my M1060 and can honestly say sound quality is much better compared to the original thin cable. Detail retrieval is much better, midrange is more open and natural, sound in general is brighter and more articulate. And I did not use very expensive cable, just wonder what effect can be achieved with a pure silver or better quality thicker OFC cable. Below is the link to my post in DIY cable gallery thread.

Has anyone tried the HiFiMan Sundara, I really want to know how they compare to modded vegan m1060 and would they be an upgrade or a sidegrade?

Are suede pads essential? Does it suck with the stock pads?

 

[Shroomalistic]

Stock pads are not bad but the vmf suede are sooooo much better.

 

[fpantalone]

It obviously depends on what you prefer. Individual taste, as always.

For one, cups don't swivel so it's utterly uncomfy.

Got my m560’s back today from rma. So glad, I really missed them. Bone stock they are amazing. I think they will pair nicely with some ori pads but not sure if I should get the suede, leather or fenstrated? Didn’t realize how much I loved them till I had to go without them for a while.

Dose anyone know of a decent cable for the m1060? I really hate the stock cable as it is microphonic and am using my HIFIMAN HE400i cable which fixed the issue. I found a few on ebay OFC 5n with Acrolink 3.5mm plugs 1.2meters long asking $75 Canadian is this too much?

That's not a bad price. I've heard great things about Periapt Cables, and THIS is the one I'm going to order for my M1060. It's $50 US for 1.5m.

 

[MajorRocker]

Thanks I will probably grab the cable you linked I like the fact that it's a little longer then the one I found on ebay.

 

[fpantalone]

I use these on a few different cans I have. I've never had problem with them at all ...

Don't know if this was mentioned but Monoprice also sell upgraded cables for the M1060 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=29515

Those are quite...pink.

Also wish they went with a straight connector as a huge angled connector poking out of my Magni 2 is rather unsightly.

I was thinking about getting the one fpantalone linked. Looks like it's under "neomusica" on Amazon. I might end up just making my own if I can find some inexpensive connectors and some nice paracord sleeving though.

I'm in Spain, so maybe it's coming up on the .es Amazon site. Take the product title and paste it in the .com site. That might work. Best bang for the buck I think. No issues ... and I love the 'sound' of them
