The verdict

Monoprice's latest planar headphones offer excellent sound and an expansive soundstage. Some elements remain unrefined such as the excessive weight, weak metal build, and possible design flaw in the cable.

✓Liked: Good sound, Competitive price, Replaceable parts

✕Could be better: Heavy, Quality control is questionable, Balanced cable is heavy

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the Monoprice M1570C has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
