I going to bite. I haven't heard anything about the M1570C. I know they are heavy as a brick and that stupid mini XLR pinout is stupid, but for $185 I'm going to try it. Review coming soon.

How long did it take you to get an order confirmation?

RayceManyon OP t1_jc7olr1 wrote

I ordered right when I posted this, but I will let you know when the confirmation comes through

Hey, did you get confirmation already? I bought them yesterday too but my order status still says "In progress"

RayceManyon OP t1_jcdnz93 wrote

Oh no, I haven't gotten confirmation yet. I used PayPal and my status is also "in progress"

IlKinglI t1_jcdujx0 wrote

Same, paid with PayPal. I think the people that used Amazon were the ones that had confirmation already

Goddamnit. I just ordered this. Going from the 560s to this, since I'm in the market for a closed back and I was hoping to try a planar. My upgrade path to edition XS and trying a (good) closed back might have been completely upended.

There's basically no reviews of this on this subreddit or on YouTube. Barely any internet articles, and a small 5 page thread on head fi. But the rest of monoprice's lineup reviews well, and this is a killer deal.

Good job! You will want to make or buy a strap for them (I'll post measurements when I get them) to get the weight off the top of your skull. The M1070 hurt my head after just a few minutes. I've made straps out of sham-wow and zipties and it is important.

Just placed an order. This is almost certainly a price mistake so I fully expect it to be cancelled, but it's a killer deal if it actually ships.

I don't think it's a mistake, there's something going on at Monoprice headphones. Monoprice EU is not trading and their ebay account is no longer around - this has happened in the last week.

https://www.monoprice.uk/ says :

Ooooh a liquidation?

Muttywango t1_jc77k9p wrote

I don't know. I just bought M1070 (UK £210 incl P&P) and noticed they only accepted Paypal, no debit/credit card. I don't know if that is relevant at all.

andysaurus_rex t1_jc78163 wrote

Weird. I'll keep an eye on them. I don't like closed backs but I'm hoping for the 1570

Rise-Free t1_jc7ztw4 wrote

65$ international shipping + 21% EU tax, oof... Still ordered it lmao, i'm a sucker for good looking headphones and bass quality and this one seems to tick those boxes.

ragecndy t1_jc76rm8 wrote

Been curious about these but since I already feel my 177x are a bit too heavy I won’t even try lol

Aracari_LoA t1_jc7bkgc wrote

If I didn't already have headphones like this (LCD-XC) I would jump on this.

koolarchy t1_jc71ugy wrote

Whats holding me back would be the availability of replacement ear pads

ragecndy t1_jc7754q wrote

There’s tons of probably better than stock sheepskin options on aliexpress I wouldn’t worry about that

Doccks71 t1_jc7pyhf wrote

Shame we don't have measurements on them, open backs are already picky on pads but closed backs are even worse

ragecndy t1_jc7yvur wrote

Honestly if you have a big collection of headphones it's worth having a big collection of pads, there's usually something better than stock, but you can't never know for sure before trying

nicknotcave t1_jc7mvkf wrote

I have LCD-XC already but I bought them too. I don't know why :)

OH! Please write a comparison when you get them.

I was bitchin' about this to my buddy, and he simply put it... "Everyone in that warehouse is stealing. Everyone." After looking at all the people saying they got their order dropped, and how wrong their inventory count was, I tend to agree.

dishinpies t1_jc82cx2 wrote

Definitely worth it for $185, but I’m happy with my Blue Ellas as my closed-back planar option. If I didn’t have those, I’d be all over this.

Jesse_in_CO t1_jc7vqsj wrote

I promised myself I would pay off this Burson amp before purchasing my next pair of headphones but I couldn't pass this up... Ordered.

SavageSam1234 t1_jc88boy wrote

God damn, I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on these.... $185 for $600 headphones.... Almost too good to be true. From the limited measurements I've found, they seem to actually be really promising.

Ryman546 t1_jc8beu3 wrote

Hmm, feel like waiting for open back.

Gunnilinux t1_jc8q3f3 wrote

There was a subwoofer on monoproce earlier today for under $30 that quickly changed to $70 and everyone thought pricing error as well. Who knows

ghost-factory t1_jc8rdzv wrote

Amazing price. I have these headphones and love them, despite the weight.

Fuzzy_Luck5550 t1_jc8sqzm wrote

Just jumped in too. Looking forward to creating some hype if they are good!

xsdmx t1_jcbpgm8 wrote

Does anyone have any experience running these on a portable source like the Qudelix 5K? It seems technically possible. Any recommendations for aftermarket balanced cables? Thanks!

AFluffyMobius t1_jcdnkcu wrote

I have 80 ohm 96 db/mw DT 770's as the closest analogy and the DT770's definitely helps with an amp when portable. Fine for YouTube browsing but not enough for music. I had a XD-05 Basic that worked fine with them a couple years ago.

Bought! Best deal ever

Just so you guys know, they got layering and depth like no other. The bass is soft and controlled.

Can’t wait to receive the Closed back version. 😎

daddyyeslegs t1_jc7mipe wrote

I'm still waiting for the payment to be processed, I'm hoping they don't cancel my order!

Lelouch25 t1_jc7sdl7 wrote

Same here. The credit card processing wouldn’t go through so I used Amazon. Monoprice haven’t processed my Amazon payment yet.

Just went through. Woot woot 👋😎

daddyyeslegs t1_jc7trhs wrote

They're not on sale for Amazon when I checked. I have a feeling they're going to cancel these orders and cite a pricing error.

2

Lelouch25 t1_jca8rd1 wrote

Did your order get processed by Monoprice? Although Amazon shows they processed my order. Monoprice still haven’t sent out the confirmation email with tracking?

Woot woot! The Monoprice confirmation and shipping info came into the junk mail. 🙌😝

daddyyeslegs t1_jcb9vpb wrote

Monoprice says payment received, but my credit card hasn't processed the payment and I don't have an email still. The website also shows out of stock now.

1

Jesse_in_CO t1_jcdg4b0 wrote

The money was taken out of my account at some point this morning (was able to pay using my card) but still no email to confirm the order.

I doubt they will cancel it. Seems like there are a lot of things going on sale on their site. M1070 is on sale today.

1

daddyyeslegs t1_jcdi56i wrote

Money still pending for mine, but the order says payment went through. No confirmation email or anything.

At this point I'm thinking they'll cancel it because of stock.

I don't need them but I'm tempted.....

RayceManyon OP t1_jc7p4zt wrote

You might need them. After a few months, I would think that a few will popup on AVExchange for $150. That's what I will do if I hate mine.

Fuzzy_Luck5550 t1_jc8t036 wrote

For real, if they are not great, I am just rushing to AVExchange and offloading them stat.

This vs focal elegia?

Anything is better than the elegia that thing sounds awful.

minimus67 t1_jc7ws05 wrote

My interest was piqued until I looked at the specs - at 1.9 pounds, are these the world’s heaviest headphones? Should probably factor in the cost of a good neck brace or future visits to an orthopedist before buying.

phillycl t1_jc952vt wrote

The M1570C are 22.6 ounces (a bit under 1.5 lbs.). Still heavy though!

timsams_ t1_jc9p0cy wrote

They are huge and heavy but quite confortable. The cable is horrible. The sound is boring af. I feel like it would be a good monitoring headphones but not an enjoyable one. Altought, the closed back competition at this price is non existent, it would be a big recommendation at that price and EQ the parts you don't like
