## Long description

Monoprice Monolith M1060 are over-ear, open-back headphones equipped with planar magnetic drivers designed for detailed sound reproduction with low distortion. Intended for critical listening, mixing and home audio, these headphones provide a wide frequency response and a spacious soundstage. The open-back design allows natural ambience and accurate stereo imaging, while the over-ear earcups and headband construction are made for extended listening sessions when paired with a compatible headphone amplifier.
Advantages
The planar magnetic drivers deliver consistent driver motion for improved transient response and reduced harmonic distortion compared with many dynamic designs. The open-back architecture produces a more expansive soundstage and clearer imaging suited to analytical listening. Over-ear cushions and a balanced headband distribute pressure for longer wear without excessive clamping force. These characteristics make the Monoprice Monolith M1060 suitable for detailed critical listening and studio monitoring when used with appropriate amplification.
Suitable for
Critical listening and audiophile playback
Mixing and reference monitoring in a home studio
Long sessions of music enjoyment where open, natural sound is preferred
Users with a compatible headphone amplifier or high-quality source
Key specifications

Driver type: planar magnetic
Design focus: wide frequency response and spacious soundstage
Intended use: critical listening, mixing, home audio

How to use
Connect the Monoprice Monolith M1060 to a compatible headphone amplifier or a source with sufficient output capability to drive planar magnetic drivers. Place the earcups around the ears so that the padding seals comfortably without excessive pressure; adjust the headband for even weight distribution. For critical listening and mixing, allow the headphones to rest on the head for several minutes to find the optimal seal and positioning for accurate stereo imaging. Maintain moderate listening levels to prevent hearing fatigue during long sessions.
Usage recommendations
Use these open-back headphones in a quiet, low-reflection environment to make the most of their spacious soundstage. Pair with a dedicated headphone amplifier or high-quality DAC to achieve appropriate drive and dynamic range; avoid using in noisy or public spaces where sound leakage and lack of isolation could be an issue.
