" ... But the sound! ... Its is a tight, not to bright, punchy sound. ... "
" ... Sound is just amazing, my daily drivers are Fostex TH900 and I haven't felt that M1060s were missing something. ... Still 5 stars for sound. ... "
" ... You can hear god with these. ... "
" ... I did find that they're much more sensitive to input sources than the Denons, which themselves sound good enough on just about everything. ... However, on these, adding Tube emulators and effects seems to improve the sound. ... Which is good, because they sound a bit on the thin side without any adjustments. ... "
" ... I've had many headphones and my listening ranges from studio monitoring as a hobbyist music recording producer to an audiophile music listener. ... I use a FiiO E17 headphone amplifier so my review is based on amplified listening. ... Sound: This is a good replacement for my Audio Technica ATH-A900X. ... The M560 has a similar sound stage with emphasis on mid-range and highs while keeping the bass even with no overkill. ... The sound improves with additional burn in time but I can already confirm that I'm hearing things in these headphones that I didn't hear in my previous pair. ... As mentioned before, they sound feel and look more than what you pay for so I highly recommend. ... "
" ... This set of headphones is the one you want, if you know what good sound is all about. ... Sound-wise, it does everything right. ... Sounds good right out of the box, and gets better. ... "
" ... M1060 is more conformable 470g to 570g, better sound stage (thanks to the huge and deep earpads) and more clarity in the highs. ... "
" ... but I usually listen without . ... "

" ... You feel superb comfort with those huge pads, clear FLAT sound that easily responds to EQ changes if you wish to tweak them to your music preference, and most importantly . ... "
" ... They need better ear pads . ... "
" ... It has a padded headband and the ear cushions are a decent size. ... "
" ... Its not designed for mobility and you need to baby it as the headband design is delicate. ... "
" ... I'm not a sound genius but these feel great and to my ears are perfect ... "
" ... These cans a comfortable and not tight whatsoever. ... "
" ... Some of the most comfortable I've ever tried, including the Sony MDRXB700s with their pillow-pads. ... "
" ... Quite comfortable to wear, and for the money these are certainly a very good value. ... "

" ... Its is a tight, not to bright, punchy sound. ... "
" ... They don't have the bass extension, lushness, or fun factor of the AH-D5000, but you do get a sense that they're technically "superior" headphones, whatever that means these days. ... I never felt the need to enable any Tube emulation features, or bass boosters, or anything like that. ... "
" ... The M560 has a similar sound stage with emphasis on mid-range and highs while keeping the bass even with no overkill. ... I prefer closed back listening but the open back will add a little more bass. ... "
" ... Wonderful mids, extended but not harsh treble, and the bass is responsive but not overpowering. ... "
" ... M1060 is more conformable 470g to 570g, better sound stage (thanks to the huge and deep earpads) and more clarity in the highs. ... you do need to eq the lows abit but this responds to eq very well and the bass will extend to single digits. ... "
" ... These are not for treble heads or for people who need teeth ratting bass response to feel happy. ... "
" ... Excellent sounding planar headphones. ... Sound is accurate with a large soundstage. ... "
" ... So I usually listen to more heavy rock/ punk and i'm a fan of neutral sound, maybe a slight hump in the mids. ... Its very clear what you lose when you place the covers on, less bass, sibilant highs etc. ... Overall I'd say get em, if you want that crazy clear planar sound with some of that metallic tint they're damn good for their price, and yes the covers do work to about 90% in terms of quality for what they are. ...

" ... This feels and looks like a $400 pair of headphones from a company like AKG or similar. ... "
" ... Its not designed for mobility and you need to baby it as the headband design is delicate. ... "
" ... There's depth, width, layer upon layer . ... "
" ... I actually really enjoy being able to use these closed and open, they really do go both ends without toooo many issues. ... They're built like a tank, which is almost bad due to the weight and heft of these, but at least I know they wont break. ... "
" ... These are rock solid and kind of innovative. ... "
" ... They're built to last with all metal bands, pivot points, and cup frames, and are stylish too. ... "
" ... Contemplated buying the m1060 but thought that these looked like a better build. ... I'll buy those when they get the qc together ,change the pad, and connectors ... "
" ... Excellent build quality ... "

" ... To sum things up, these headphones are pretty good, there are better ones but for the price . ... you cant beat these. ... "
" ... These headphones will get you the best bang for your buck and compete on a level playing field with >1000$ headphones. ... "
" ... Overall, a great value for the price. ... "
" ... the stuff they make (not the stuff they sell as 3rd party) is easily the highest bang for buck out there. ... "
" ... I can't think of another headphone that's comparable in quality within $500. ... "
" ... Given the sound, build quality and price point, these are damn fine for less than $500. ... - Great price Point ... "
" ... Awesome headphones for the money. ... "
" ... Worth every cent I paid. ... "
