I really wanted the Linsoul, mainly because I have a pair of T2 Pro IEMs and I like them. It was a company I trusted, but I quickly realized that I would be waiting weeks for the headphones to arrive from China. So I looked at the rest of the lineup and "clones". I read all the forums and reviews, they all had one thing in common, Aiva's were the best and the Pii was next. But why? I noticed the grills, Pii cloned the Aiva's perfectly, what made it so different than the M570. It is the restriction of air! I luckily had some past knowledge with my Hifiman's HE-35x, sure, those are not the best, but they got me into the over-the-ear game. The HE-35x was upgraded with a filter from the previous model. This is important, because I looked at pictures of the box of the Pii and noticed they had a part break down of the headphones, how convenient! I noticed the M570 was missing something...a filter. Go figure, so I kind of sacrificed my HE-35x's filter and placed them in the back of the cups of my M570, super easy to do. Also, before you get mad, I was able to put back my HE-35x's and they still work and sound fine even without the filter. So why do this? I did hear the super high pitch vocals and way too airy or artificial soundstage. It gets rid of those and smooths it out to a headphone I can't put down. (Note, filter = some thing piece of felt padding that was between the earpads and drivers).Like others, I unboxed these beasts and fell in love with just the build. They are a bit hefty, but man are they really well built. I've worn them for hours while playing games and listening to music, I haven't had any problems. Transitioning to the ear cups/pads, I don't think you need to replace them with the Sendy Aiva's, I like the originals. They don't make me sweat and they are super comfortable. I still have the sound stage, so I'm not really sure of the problem that everyone makes them out to be.With the filter mod, the sound stage is less, but I'm used to that and like that. Honestly, it sounds like I'm listening to my Vienna Acoustic speakers or Fiio FA7 IEM's. I have listened to tracks that have directional sounds, and wow do these impress, I guess that's the benefit of the planar technology. They are fast and accurate. I've been playing The Last of Us 2 on PS4 with a Fiio optical converter to RCA connected to my Drop THX 789 amp, I can't believe how good these sound. Mind you, the sound stage sounds fine to me, but I'm not sure what some audiophiles are looking for. It's good enough for me when things sound like they are around me in different directions. It's no 5.1 or surround sound feel, but you do feel like you are front and center, or sometimes standing in the middle of the band. I think some people are looking for the auditorium sound, I rather just listen to my stereo bookshelf speakers for that.Other modification, I downloaded Equilizer APO and PEACE gui to utilized a Sendy Aiva EQ setting I found on a github page for a lot of different headphones. They are super clean now, I mean really clean. I find myself just sitting at my desk just listening to tracks over and over finding the details. Kind of neat. These are definitely different and fun. Also, one quick "mod", or note, I found that the headphones do sound a little better if you have them positioned correctly on your head and ears. For the ear pads, I make sure my ears are floating in the middle on the vertical position, for horizontal, I have the back of my ears just touching the very back of the ear pads. So the planars and ear pads are positioned more toward the front of my head. At this point, I like to tilt the top headrest half an inch forward or so. This gives it a little angle, seems to be the best resting and sounding position for me. I say, play around and see what works for you.The final quest or soap box note, is the amp. I noticed people saying they hear super high pitch sounds or not enough bass. The filter took care of the high pitch vocals and the shrills. However, I started on a Topping NX4 headphone dac/amp, it was clean and the bass was booming, but the mids were lacking. I was like, oh no, I need more mids...but these will still do. But of course as I kept falling down this rabbit hole, I noticed a reviewer Zeos and other people recommended the Drop THX 789 amp. Which mind you, he reviewed these headphones on that amp. This is a big deal, cause when I received the amp, I realized why. That amp is a neutral amp, meaning the low end bass isn't booming, but it comes through clean and when needed. The mids are now prominent and the highs are breath taking. I paired this with a cheap Aimpire AD10 clone of the Topping D10, something I got from Amazon Warehouse for $30 a while back and couldn't say no. This setup is definitely amazing. If I want boomy bass, I'll switch back to the Topping NX4. Otherwise, the filter, EQ and the new AMP is my favorite. Instruments and Vocals are definitely something to write home about. That's not all, it really immerses me in my games I've played and music. So last thing to note, the amp is defintely important, in fact they sound amazing and different on my Marantz PM6006, with good bass, decent mids, and great highs. I don't really use that since power is a premium where I live, so I like the lower wattage desktop amps. Plus, the Marantz is way better with the Bookshelf speakers than anything else, but that's a different story.If you want fun headphones, these are it. I'm not expert by any means, I just like a good clean sound. I do know some people have some vibration issue with these headphones from all brands, except the Sendy's...just a tip, some people say the 4 screws behind the earpads maybe too tight or not tight enough. I made sure mine were tight, but not too tight. Seriously you'll enjoy these headphones, don't let the negative reviews throw you off. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Awesome *by T*** on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020* There are obvious reports about quality issues on some of the Monoprice headphones. I think that goes with the territory when their business model is to simply undercut everyone else. With that said, the headphones are very well built with the caveat being the metal can easily be bent where the cans meet the headband. I can also see a possible area of issue with the 2.5mm connection to each cup as the interface is extremely tight. I just don't unplug the 2.5mm plugs.Sound is amazing and a little on the bright side. My initial impressions that they were a little thin on the bass but I "burned them in" over a couple of nights and the bass impact seems to be much better. These are very detailed and often have me turning my head because I think someone or something is making a noise beside me but it's actually just the sound stage and hearing things in the music I haven't heard before.These are big and little heavy but that is obviously indicated in the specifications so to knock then on that isn't fair.I normally use these in the office and have tried to use them in bed before I go to sleep but they are just a bit too big for that use case.I do get a bit of a hotspot on my head where they touch but this happens to me with nearly every pair I have.These are very handsome and I really like the dark stained wood.My consensus on these is they are an extreme value. I purchased a "used" pair from amazon warehouse and I can't see anything that was wrong with them. If one takes care of these I don't see a reason why they wouldn't last a long long time. Some of the build quality is very reminiscent of my dad's old headphones from 40 years ago as far as the weight and materials. There are a few build quality "concerns" that I have as mentioned above, but at this price point a manufacturer will need to make concessions.I'd highly recommend these for someone that is getting into the planar magnetic headphones. I wouldn't say they are portable but for a set of desk or listening room cans these are extraordinary. I'd still run them through an amp or dac/amp dragon fly type device. My mobile devices will drive them but not to their fullest potential.At $300 they are worth it. Used from amazon warehouse was an absolute no brainer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cans all around *by D***S on Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2021* I bought these from the Amazon Warehouse but review stands - mine just had minor cosmetic blemishes (as disclosed).I was looking for a new set of headphones primarily for listening to music. I'm not sure exactly how these crossed my radar but Monoprice has been a good brand (I own a bunch of cables and 3D printer from them) and the reviews for this model were excellent across the board. So my observations:1. These are a every high quality set of headphones. Construction is solid and quality materials throughout - metal, leather (pleather?), real wood, very solid, everything feels good and high quality.2. They're heavy…but comfortable. All those premium materials and over-ear cups add up - these are heavy headphones - 520g (~1lb2.5oz) but I found they fit very well and the weight was taken by the generously padded headband which is adjustable in very positive 1/8" clicks. These are for sitting and listening, not running around though. The stock ear cups seal well and are very comfortable, and the woven faces prevent sweat that you'd get from leather ear cups on skin.3. The sounds great - obviously this is subjective and dependent on a variety of factors/taste, but they perform extremely well for this price. Flat, consistent sound from ~30Hz up to 15.6kHz (in my case - I can't really hear anything above that). Bass is not thumping but that's not really my taste anyway and planar probably aren't the way to go if you want really heavy bass anyway. Mids and highs are crisp without being shrill. I didn't notice any ringing that others have mentioned. The combination or open-back and planar elements give a very open, spacious sounds - there's lots of room to breathe in these and overall a very good listening experience.4. Cord is 7' long and completely removable (there are 2.5mm jacks for each cup that click in very securely) and the 3.5mm jack also includes a screw on 1/4" jack. It's a nice flexible cable with over woven sheath and metal connectors - high quality like the rest of the headphones5. Only minor quibbles are the cup pivots are a bit loose - just a touch of resistance here would be nice, and the weight is a lot - if they could have shaved a few ounces off it would have made them even more comfortable. Maybe a slightly longer cord but 7' isn't too shabby.6. They need a bit of juice to run them - from an amp no problem, but out of my computer they're a bit quiet, and I imagine on a phone or similar they might need a dedicated headphone amp to get enough volume.Overall an excellent set of headphones for chill listening sessions and even at full price a great value for the performance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/164898160-monolith-m570-over-ear-open-back-planar-magnetic-driver-headphone](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/164898160-monolith-m570-over-ear-open-back-planar-magnetic-driver-headphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
