    • Good When EQ'd, Simply Ok if Not
Review Image by SoulD SoulD
“Monolith M1070” Played on XDUOO TA-10 XLR balanced, and I find them simply ok, nothing stood out to me, compare to the Sundara’s(Same Price), these lack treble response, as things are slightly more warm, but everything from chimes to rings, dings sound a little off, slightly darker/muffled, still not bad to listen with, I do enjoy them. I think male voices sound good on them, as they have this deep rich characteristic to their voices, and also they’re not bad in placement either, they are also just slightly below average on soundstage, mids have details but slightly lack in clarity when compared to the Sundara’s. Bass was ok, quick enough, they reach deep enough but lack the oomph. As for comfort, these are a little weird in their design, they look more like they would fit a football head, lol, had to bend them, glad they’re ez to bend. Tried on the velvet pads, way more comfortable, but the sound was a little less rich, so put back on the leather type pads to listen with. The cable that came with them was actually nice, but I like using balanced cables with Planars. Now with all that said, these are ez to EQ, and sound really nice after you correct a few things, so with that they get a good 4 star review. ( EQ'd for the sound signature I like, I wanted a touch more sub-bass with just a touch more punch, wanted the vocals a little more intimate but without losing the instrument detail and without the vocals becoming shouty, and a touch more sparkle without being too sibilant, with that in mind, I raised the 31.3Hz 1.5dB(Sub) followed by 0.5dB rise @ 62.5Hz for just a bit more punch and @ 250Hz I raised it 0.5dB to bring out the vocals more, but the instruments became lagging , so I made an even match 0.5dB rise @ 500Hz which made the vocals and instruments come out and evenly, then dropped 0.5dB @ 8kHz followed by a 1.0dB rise @ 16kHz. This all made this headset a dream*sound while playing it through the XDUOO TA-10 hybrid amp/dac. These have easily become my favorite very quickly and their addicting, but because the others I don't need to adjust I keep them rated as they are.) ... show more

    • THICK but Clear
I have the headphones on my head right now as I type this. I'll try to keep this as concise as possible... My headphone history - I started with superlux 681 evos, moved up to the SHP9500 and then up to hd6xx. I have been using a bravo v2 headphone tube amp almost exclusively for the past 3 years, and have been using those to drive the 6xx. I've found that the amp adds energy in the upper regions of music. I used them on the m1070 as well. I plan on getting another amp in the future, but for now this is what I have. Been using the m1070 for about 2 weeks. HD6xx I've been using for 3 years. Build - I think it's solid. Some slight creaking when I put it on my head on the left earcup (after a month this issue vanished). Can't isolate where it comes from, but they feel solid. I don't feel like the metal is TOO weak. You can bend them yeah, but I'm not trying to bend them and they don't bend on their own. Comfort - Things are heavy. but the pads are soft, and I have very thick hair. I think these are plenty comfortable. Not as comfortable as the 6xx. But while the 6xx is like 100 percent comfortable to me, these are about 85 percent there. When the music is going, or the game has started, I tend to not care. Cable is solid. Connections are good and tight. Sound presentation - Like being in a concert where the band is performing and you have front row center seats. The 6xx feels like I am the microphone, with the music being fed directly into to me, in a very pleasing and sweet way. These are also very sweet, but offer a different presentation. I feel like I can hear the room with this much better. These definitely out-resolve the 6xx. I think the soundstage is wider on the m1070, and the imaging to be pretty solid. Not insanely analytical, but if I am listening for it, then I will pick up the separation really well. Point being, I can hone in on whatever I want to hone in on. It doesn't force detail at me. These are quite enjoyable. These offer more bass extension than the 6xx. But these don't offer more highs than the 6xx. There is no veil that I can tell, so the upper mids are more forward on the m1070. But there is not a massive amount of air. TL DR: In comparison to the 6xx, there is better soundstage, better resolution, no veil in the upper mid range. The Bass and lower mids are more forward. I like the m1070 better for most music. But vocals on the hd6xx sound better overall. I like all aspects of music so I prefer the m1070. Gaming: These are awesome. The added impact of bass, strong soundstage and good imaging are solid. Great for immersion. Maybe doesn't isolate the high frequencies enough for twitch FPS shooters for pinpoint footstep sounds. idk, I don't play those games. I like my Role playing games. Conclusion. I like the m1070 a lot. They will be my go to for a while. But I am not getting rid of the 6xx. They are different, and can live together. But these put a smile on face as soon as I started playing music. Also, I REALLY didn't care for the pad swap. They were mega comfy, but the sound became very hot in the trouble, and the sweet warmth was gone. I don't regret this purchase at all. These headphone offered me everything I wanted - terrific immersion in everything that I cared for. I just wish there was a touch more air in the 10k + frequency range. EDIT: after a month use. I stand by almost everything as I had said before, but I felt like I should make a quick update about the pad swap. I've been listening to the velours for the past several hours. I like them more than I did before. Do I like them more than the pleather pads? I don't think so. They offer something different. I care for them now. Just as much as the pleather. I started noticing some VERY MINOR treble spikes on very specific tracks that were sharp with the pleather pads. When I switched to the velour, those spikes almost disappeared. Without measuring anything, here is what the velour pads offer: less soundstage (closer to a HD6xx width but with better imaging), but 10-15 percent more clarity. (Give or take depending on the song). The upper treble and air regions get more balanced and a little more forward presentation. Not too much. The detail of everything midrange and higher is more immediately noticeable. The sub bass impact goes down quite a bit. Not that the sub bass is gone; It just doesn't sound as full and powerful. Maybe the super low 20-30 hz starts to roll off sooner. But the clarity increase and treble evening is so darn good that it might JUST be worth it to some ears. Why did I add this edit? well, I like the headphones even more now. I like that I can just switch the pads and almost recreate that first "new toy" feeling when listening to music. I can see myself swapping back and forth every couple of months and just having fun enjoying music. 2nd TL;DR: Velour pads are also amazing. try em' out for a few dedicated hours. You might be surprised. But damn are the pleathers still awesome too. It just comes down to preference, and its awesome that both options are included in the box. I know headphones are EXTREMELY subjective. I wish all of you the best in your audio journey! ... show more
