Mine has a thin layer of felt. I peeled it off and there was enough glue still there to hold the new pads.

... There shouldn't be any felt like material under the pads.. It was just metal on my set.

Any trick to getting new pads to stick? The 3M double-sided tape is sticking to the XB500 pads but isn't sticking to the felt like material on the headphones. Thanks.

Wait and get the M1060 when they come back in stock. These are 80% as good. And better built. But it is worth the wait and more money.

Should I get these or should I get the X2's?
2017-03-14 22:08:37 +0000 UTC
Will do Jim!

Damnit Zeos. I want to buy the 1060s so bad.but I want to hear the reviews first. The current rave is they are comparable to the Oppos and the LCD-2's. You've put me in a predicament. Good thing...my friend just bought them anyway so I should be able to have a first-hand audition of them in a few days.

I just orderd my 1060's Dam you Zeos . This makes my 3rd pair of planar's . Looking forward to comparing them to my HE 400I and later to come Aeon's. Must stop watching these reviews. Is this a standard mmcx connector set up so as to order a new custom balanced for the Blckbird SR-71b to drive these babies.?

I really enjoy how you said "anything under 17 and I don't have to edit"... At 22 minutes in XD

I'm mainly concerned with bass. What headphones do you own?
2017-02-14 01:17:22 +0000 UTC
Yeah. They're all in the same price range and I found a person selling Mad Dogs with Alpha pads for $200 and I wanted to know which would be the "best value." I ended up going for some X2's that I got for $175.

Thank god. Had me scared for a second about my ethers man. Still might get these anyways though since $200 ain't much.

EL8 are more neutral for sure but these are wider. Highs are gonna be real close.

Well the Mk3 mods are all for a different sound. Mostly closed. Bass focused.

No I wouldn't go that far. But the Lower end Hifiman's 400i and 400s easily. The 560's I'd need in house to really say.

So you're telling me these can beat ether flows?
2017-02-13 03:13:39 +0000 UTC
These, Mad Dogs, Talon or Argon?
2017-02-13 02:12:28 +0000 UTC
How do these compare to the Audeze EL-8

Damn it Monoprice, you're going put put everyone out of business. TAKE MY MONEY!
