I just Googled them and they are quite reasonably priced at only $45! How is the fit? Your images didn't seem to post correctly (at least, I can't see them). I have vegans but they won't last forever so I'm always looking at alternatives for down the line.

Yeah, not sure what happened with the pictures, I'll try and fix it when I get a minute.

They fit really well. Again, I'm using the 3D printed fazors and pad adapters, and they fit over that great. They're just a hair smaller than the actual earcups, so they'd fit well using doublestick tape too. A note on the price, they're listed at $45, but with shipping I think the total came to about $58. Still not terrible, but not quite as good as it seems at first.

I was thinking of ordering one of these. How is the flexibility compared to the stock cable. I also heard they are a bit noisy when rubbed.

The flexibility is really good. As for microphonics, I'd say it's very little to none.

So, I'm not sure what the general consensus is on pads for the M1060 at this point, but I recently got a set of Cascadia Audio Impact pads (designed for their T50RP mod), and I'm loving them. They seem to boost the low mids, and the low end, a bit. Overall it warms up the sound, and adds just a touch more punch to the bass. I'm have @PockyG's 3D printed fazors on as well, and together with these pads, I'm in love with these headphones all over again. I haven't been able to get my hands on Audeze Vegan pads, or ZMF Suede, so I can't compare against those, but I'm really happy with these. They're really deep, and have a large earhole too, so they're super comfortable, even with my freakishly large head and ears.

I really want to get a pair of either the m1060 or m560, the only problem is my headphone amp is the original Schiit Mjolnir which only has balanced out. I have a XLR balanced cable from my hifiman he400i, would they work on the monoprice headphones? If not compatible, please point me to where I can buy a XLR balanced cable without breaking the bank.

I bought one of those sexy looking replacement cables from Monoprice: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=29515
I use a balanced setup with my Audio-gd NFB-28.38 so the 3.5mm connector just wasn't up to par for me, and so....

Can confirm that the Monoprice 29515 is actually really easy to desolder from its original 3.5mm, separate the L/R grounds, and resolder to a Neutrik XLR 4-pin

It's a shame Monoprice isn't doing this themselves, but really, this is the most elegant M1060 balanced cable I could come up with for just $35 (29515 cable + Neutrik XLR)

As for the sound, I can't really say I notice any sort of difference between running it with the extra 3.5mm connector 29515 cable vs new XLR resoldered 29515 cable. Sorry
This cable has absolutely no noticeable microphonics beyond 4 inches from the 2.5mm connectors. I could close my eyes and have someone stroke the cable and I would not even know it was happening. Huge upgrade from my earlier custom made cable (the same kind that comes with stock Beyer T1) which was like 9 times heavier.

Just a quick pic of my M1060 with the new cable:

Can someone who owns both, tell me if you can put the 1060 cup on the 560 headband.

That is a gorgeous cable, I spent more on a cable that I am not really happy with for my Alpha Primes. I did buy a Chinese one off eBay for $64 but I think it's gone up to $75 for 2m

That is a good price and I am thinking of putting a neutrik on my regular cable. good job.

I own both but can’t get the yokes off the m560 headband. I got an extra used set just for that reason. So I’m curious too. If anyone can remove the yokes please tell how.

May I see the pad adapter and where can I get it?

I have yet to see a pic of this in use and how it's applied.

I used:
Earside fazor
Pad Adaptor
Rear fazor

the fazors are stuck down with double stick tape, and then the pad adapter attaches to the fazor. I 3D printed them, but I think there was someone back in this thread who was selling them?

 

[omegaorgun]

Can I see what the pad looks like on from side? That monoprice glue will also come off.

I am actually surprised someone hasn't made a fazor and pad ring that utilizes the 3 screws and if needed replace with longer ones.

I can take some more pictures when I get home. And yeah, I just haven't bothered to take the original glue off. This setup works pretty well for me, and is nice if you're taking stuff on and off while testing. But using those screws could be work too, would make for a more permenant solution perhaps.

Yea so have the ring adapter and fazor an all in one and mounted with the 3 screws, it being an all in one might allow the ring to be even closer to the metal for a more flush look. It would mean finding slightly longer screws if the stock ones are to short.

I was also wondering could a wood PLA be used.

If you are thinking about using the screws that you can see when you remove the pad, don't. They hold the driver together and the magnets in place. More than one person on this forum has ruined their driver by removing these screws.
