That 19:00 minutes guess.. NAILED IT! Skip there for my talk about sound.
Literally perfect.
i cant guess that perfect in anything
f the headphones, i come here for the cable talk
" it's just Ugh"
-Zeos
Zeos, I doubt you'll give much consideration to this comment, but (as others have requested) can you please make some sort of a brief M1060 mod video where you at least discuss the specific modifications you implemented? I don't expect a tutorial, although it would be nice, but I am curious to know what you did to improve upon what are already amazing sounding headphones. Also, it would be awesome if you could discuss how your mods actually change the sound. As always though, great content.
Jourdan Gilson True, i bought them because of Zeos. Please show us your modified M1060 zeos
I covered them on my live stream but I can re-iterate. The balanced cables are a given. The rear foam I removed and then changed out thinner. The 3D printed Fazor arrays are just attached with Fun-Tac right over the openings inside and out of the driver slots. They add SOMETHING to the sound. Maybe calm it down a bit. Custom covers with the Z logo were sent with the fazors.
Thanks Zeos!
Thanks
"Happy Halloween" It is now Christmas. Classic Zeos

Happy Holidays to you and yours Z, and thanks for the reviews !
That box of pads!!!
"Happy Halloween" LMAO
happy halloween people
I got my Retro's, and you were right about stretching these HM5 pads... worth it though.
that wallpaper though , instant like on video
Got mine yesterday, did 12 hours of burn in (I'm not a huge believer, but why not). Initially thought they were very dark and then found the included 1/4" adapter doesn't see to make the best connection. Clicked into place with full contact, the signal cleared up a bit. Make sure you seat and unseat it a few times to loosen up, and give it a twist to make sure it making full contact.
Even with that out of the way, I'd say the assessment from various other reviews holds true. The drivers are a bit to close to the ear, for me at least, resulting in a bit of a muddy, bass heavy presentation. The current recommendation is to spend $30 on replacement pads, or...
Pro-Tip: grab some double-sided velcro, cut them to size, and put them in between the stock pads. The added thickness is just enough to give the needed distance to balance the highs. Let me know how you decide to spend the $29.96 this tip saves you.
Tip came from mechcentric
on the massdrop forum. Credit where credit is due, and I'm sure others have come up with this solution too.
I actually said, out loud, in my house, "VELCRO?" As soon as he started ripping off the pads. That is some of the weirdest shit I've ever seen on a headphone. The last thing I'd expect by far.
you should do a m1060 mod video!
Yes please.
YES. I doubt he will, but I would really like to see that. Even just a quick video discussing the mods he implemented. A brief tutorial would be even better. I know there are forums that discuss M1060 mods, but I want someone who has demonstrated they actually know something about audio (Zeos) to discuss them. DSM3 also did an M1060 mod video, but I want to know what Zeos actually did.
real news
Judging by the hand gestures this is going to be a good one.
19:00 wow spot on
Sounds like Monoprice released amazing drivers again without tuning them.
When the stock pads on my m560s wore out I cut them open and took out the plastic ring with the magnets and pins. I put the rings into some brainwavz pads and they attach like the original ones now. The bigger pads are great btw, much more comfortable than the original small ones.
I would now love to see a mod where someone transplants the M1060 drivers into the M560 body so that we have a headphone with superior sound quality from the bigger drivers of the M1060 with the better build quality and design of the M560s with the features of the M560 (Convertible Open/Closed back and dual 3.5mm jacks and outlets that accept either side.
I have the M560 and you can change the pads if you glue some magnets, from a hdd circle for example, cut some cardboard disk (with a big hole for the sound in the center) and mount the new pads into the disk, just be careful when you glue the magnets to the cardboard disk, because there are three magnets in the headphone cup that hold the pads and need to be aligned with the glued magnets.
the velcro almost killed me
Nice review. I completely agree about the in your face nature of these. Perfect example of just being way too close to a big speaker. Staging just felt not right, especially when using them to watch a film. Lots of detail. Not neutral, but not too v shaped either.
Nice background of the Queen.
Best wisher from México;) i do reviews as well in Spanish.
Keep up the great work and mods
I'm trying to decide between these the m560 and he400i since those dropped in price. Any pointers or feedback have the hd598 now love them wanna try my chance with planar.
Hey Zeos, I am still searching for a good cable for my m560 to be used portable. What are you using?
Edit: waaait, only costum made cables work right? I got a costum made one but have to jiggle one side out millimeter to make it work in stereo.. fuuuuu..
Best Headphones for gaming with an imaging to hear not only footsteps of your enemys in egoshooter but to hear the enemys nails growing.
Had to choose between the m560s and m565 recently. I couldn't afford the 1060s so the cheaper model seemed to be the best choice. Took one look at the build quality of th 565s and said, 'nope.' I have bad luck with headphones, most of mine break in a year from structural problems... now maybe that was from me never having 'real headphones' but for my first pair of 'real headphones' I wanted to buy something which I know wouldn't break in a year. The 565s look like they will break in 4 months. Can't throw 200 dollars out the window like that.
Anyways, I'm really happy with my 560s. Best sounding headphones I ever used, the gen 2 pads suck but I can live with it. and the build quality... oh boy, I get a smile on my face every time I pick them up because they feel incredible to hold.
The cynical side of me says the 565s are a thing because they wanted their cheaper model to have a similar structure to their expensive model in-order to cut down on manufacturing costs. It's also embarrassing that their cheaper model (the 560s) are built better than their 1060s. Glad I got them before they stopped selling the 560s in favor of the 565s.
Monoprice should be watching so they can do a better job upgrading the M1060. I think that's bound to happen probably by this time next year.
I just hope that housing the drivers a little bit further away helps even more with an already acceptable soundstage. Of course, they have to do some tweaks to preserve the tuning.
Zeos M1060 mod can be found on his Twitch channel with the title "Z's Wednesday My Dudes Stream - Modifying M1060s ..etc."
Modding starts @3:50:00
Modding finishes @4:31:00
@4:14:45 he mentions MonoPrice THX Amp as he saw it at CanJam.
There's also talk about how fellow TH-camr DMS3 destroyed his M1060 when he dislodged a magnet and it went through the diaphragm.
"I'm not a big modifications person" lol :)
19:01 "We're 19 minutes in the review at this point."
Illuminati confirmed.
When are you gonna review the m565c?
The HD500 series on the back , mmmmmmmm ... Interesting
I had to hot glue the Brainwavs XL leather pads to my 560's....
I recently got m560 the new pads have a tiny m1060 looking earhole now which sucks. However stock they also come with a hole in them on the inside exposing foam for what the original hd 598 where like on the headband. Its air ride to make them feel softer. However i think they are thicker. They also dont have any sort of layer between you and the driver cover.
I wonder if i could peel the pad off the magnetic plastic plate that is on the back of the earpad then glue new pads on.
Just ordered these for $96 on Amazon. Based on the review it seems that this is a steal, not sure I'll be spending that much on ear pads though.
Ouu..I didn't know Monoprice revised the M1060. I pray that the build is better.
I hope Monoprice will re-work the M300s. I'd like to think they had the planar thing locked down, regardless of size.
Halloween?? its F@#$%^ Xmas!! lol
HALLOWEEENNNN????!!!!
I still think Zeos is a jew
Also, love your stuff.
Has any tried the Brainwavz round memory foam pad? Do they fit on the ATH-AD series headphones and do the change the sound of the headphones?
Braille is the way to go.
Ath-ws1100is review?
6:57 One pad have a stitching on the bottom the other have it on top all the info about left-right that I need.
A320 review soon? I got it a couple months ago and it works perfect for what I want
Please review the blue Ella not the mofi. The Ella has planner drivers and a built in amp
Are Gradoes intense sounding?? I feel fine with them, I just want to know your opinion on their sound... ( I'm referring to the SR80e cuz I've seen your PS500e and GS1000e and they're both we're reviewed so differently even tho you said that all Gradoes sounded similar... It just confuses me 🤔)
Audeze lcd2 Classic, I gotta hear your views man, the lower price is tempting me
fucking spectacular
I see me some smaller Ohms in the background, zeos... hurry up on that review lol
How can you mod the 565? There are no screws or anyway to open it. What am I missing??
Are you gonna review the m300?
zenshadow26055 I second this
Its done, Just finished the thumbnail. Going to the patrons probably after christmas.
I just wish I could find m560s.
How do these sound compared to hifiman he-400i, I've had the 400 I for about a week and I'm not impressed with the soundstage for gaming. My SPH 9500 are way cheaper and have Better Sound Stage. Also I might have not have broken in the 400i yet since in the manual it says 150 hours to break in
But would you recommend the 560's over the 565's?
Please do cable build videos. I just got the HD6XX and I really want a nice cable, but I don't to pay someone to make not exactly what I want.
There are videos of him making cables but I can't remember if it is on this channel or his other channel Zeos Pantera
Also here is one more video of Zeos making speaker cables. th-cam.com/video/jGM4hjEIZkY/w-d-xo.html
How do I listen to my music the best way?
TH-cam is bad. I have also heard, that spotify is not too good. So what do i do?
I say the red wire is Left as in commy red the left wingers.
Can you do a vid on how you modded your m560s?
Should I get the M560s or the HE400i for $215?
Ohm Microwalsh review incoming soonish?
Z-reviews can you review the blue mofi headphones interested in you opinion
Are you going to review the HD599? Liked the video ;)
Yes.
Philips SHP2600 review is needed father.
So many L and R indicators.. How can I not.
Anybody know what music player/service that Zeos uses?
0.00 fast love
Z, makes me a sammich
So if you're not gonna mod should I get the m560 or 565?
Those vs the Hifiman HE-400i??
are you going to review of the HE-4xx?
nice review...BUT ! next time don't put your camera on your head specialy when you suffer of parkingston...
What about M565C?
Hey Z will you be reviewing the Focal Listen?
What's the best dac/amp for 200$
Which amp would you recommend for the HD650's?
"Pain in the cock" -Zeos 2017
periapt vs best in verse?
1:35 was some mind fuckery
Kogarashi sentiment though
I'm looking at maybe going with the Sennheiser 558's as my next headphones as I'm wanting some more bass compared to my current m40x's. I still want them to be nice in the mids and highs, but I want a more in the lows and based on your review of them, they seem like the best option. Is there a closed pair of headphones that you can recommend in the $100-$150 range that I don't have to replace the pads, maybe not even the cable if possible(I want a pair of headphones that has a detachable cable), but if that's not possible then ok. But I don't want to be needing to go over $200 for a full setup of headphones, cable, and case for portable use. If nothing comes to your mind then ok cuz I went to you recommendations on reddit and I couldn't find anything there so I didn't know if there's a pair I'm missing or whatever. Thanks.
Samuel Martinez Beyerdynamic Custom Studio. $163 on Amazon, sometimes as low as $120 on eBay. You can control the level of bass and the cable is detachable. They are also closed back. I love mine.
I could go with those, but my worry is that I haven't had the chance to try a pair of Beyerdynamic's and I don't quite know what that "Beyerdynamic highs" Zeos has talked about in the past is like and I don't know if I'll like it or be ok with it. What's the sound stage like on them? Are they like the Custom Street's that he reviewed(in all aspects)? Other than the obvious over-the-ear instead of on-the-ear.
Samuel Martinez I haven't tried the Custom Street myself. Soundstage is not huge because they're closed back, but they're reliable for gaming. Instrument separation is there (imaging.) If anything, you can buy them and if you don't like them, return them. You have to remember that everyone has different preferences, don't just go off of what a reviewer says. Go out and try different cans and find which ones suit you best. I have heard of the Beyerdynamic highs and have also heard that the Custom Studio takes care of that issue. It's ultimately up to you though.
Can someone direct me to somewhere of him explaining his mods to his M1060s I plan to get those soon and I would like to know how he improved on them
It is in his review of M1060s if I remember correctly.
th-cam.com/video/hrr-GAlHzLQ/w-d-xo.html
So like most I like music and love headphones and Im about to get the Sony 1000x, obe thing though, I read some reviews where a guy teplaced them 3 times becausd of imbalance where the right side had more vocals than the left
Now I want to know if thats normal on hedphones or if Im partialpy deaf, no matter what headphones I use I have to manually adjust the levels on my phone so that the sound is balanced, I have to make more sound to be louder on the left side but it still sounds off, vocals still are right balanced but bass and instruments are louder on the left, dont know how or when this happened, just all of the sudden music was louder on my right side
I have to do this whit my M50x, V-moda M100s, Beats Pro, Beats Studio, MDR XB950BT and many other headphones I have, all of them have to be adjusted differently to sound balanced, so am I deaf or is it maybe my phone?
Also also, when I put the slider on the middle, the right side sound way loud while the left has almost nothing, and when I balance it, sound quality goes down, theres less bass and less louder, for someone who loves good quality sound and thay has spend thousands on equipment, this is basically a nightmare for me
Can you tell me what pada you put on the m560s?
Sony 1000 pads iirc
how do you attach the fazors to the 1060? i'm getting my pair soon and a 3d printer for my birthday
I used Fun-Tac. Because I am a rebel. amzn.to/2BuzH0w
Again another complaint about something that only comes up in a very specific situation. You wouldn't buy these purely for gaming. And if you did game in an fps with them and you realize its backwards, how hard is it to flip them around real quick when you die. Also LGR has you beat in the sandwich game
Takes you 2 months to edit and post? Oy vey.
Things wait in line. Ive let a video go ever 2-3 days for 4 years. Backlogs happen.
Did you just put on Dekoni pads? If so, no wonder you were too close. Stock pads as you showed barely show light and are much thicker and roll off things. Dekoni is super thin and yes will be big time in your face. To get the best of both worlds put the dekonis over the stock pads!
So, how do you feel about these considering that HE400i's can be had for $219?
Exactly.
MMCX, Zeos. Not MMXC. Not the first time you've said that lol.
Im thinking MXC the show.
Right you are Ken!
I have wide foppy ears and the stock pads hurt after 2 hours
FINALLY
So...wanna talk about how they sound?
do hd 660s pls!
5:56 Mene Zeos ?
I'm not a case....I'm Batman @3:35
What pads are on the 560s?
Dave Ehl Sony XB700
Anyone here want he4xx reviews?
the hexx, amazing build quality for the $$. They are very similar to the 1060s, but IMO more high end. Pad are not quite as nice.
ga I’ve got them for 2 weeks now, super happy with it. It’s a damn bargain for what it is.
he4xx has amazing build quality ? What the hell are you smoking? Similar to 1060 ? WAT?
Zenith. They feel like headphones many times their price. The sound is similar to the 1060s but a little more bright.
They do not, I really don't know what you are on.
which dac/amp would you recommend that come with mic input port?
Burson Play, Mayflower Arc, or this Syba if you have no budget amzn.to/2BY4CSx
Z Reviews you mean when have a budget?
what do you think of Sennheiser GSX 1000?
So only 10 mins in but I'm hearing just by the 1060s if you can. Ok doing that now
I mean... if you're looking for cheap planars, the 1060s are quite nice. They have a bottomless bass presence.
