The verdict

The Monoprice Monolith AMT is an excellent set of headphones to delve into the world of Air Motion Transformer drivers. However, it's a more of a hobbyist item than a highly-polished product. It requires a level of dedication and familiarity with headphone tech to get the most out of it, and some won't have the patience.

✓Liked: Extremely low distortion, Price, Excellent introduction to AMT drivers

✕Could be better: Weight, Needs heavy equalizing
