106mm Planar Driver Headphones
The Monoprice Monolith M1060C uses a completely redesigned 106mm planar magnetic driver with a symmetrical magnet structure. This engineering targets low distortion and improved linearity for detailed audio reproduction. The closed-back enclosure provides excellent isolation so outside noise stays out and music stays in. These headphones suit audiophiles and professionals who need accurate monitoring in environments that are not completely silent.
Closed-Back Isolation and Efficiency
The new symmetrical magnet structure makes the planar driver much more efficient within the closed-back design. This efficiency helps deliver spectacular imaging and a balanced sound signature without requiring excessive power. The sealed ear cups block external sound effectively, keeping the listening experience focused and preventing audio leakage into the surrounding space. No active noise cancellation or battery is involved; isolation is purely passive and mechanical.
Studio-Ready Fit and Compatibility
Weighing 3.91 units, the M1060C includes comfort ear pads designed for extended studio or professional sessions. The closed-back build means no open-air soundstage, so users wanting a wide, airy presentation should look elsewhere. A standard analogue connection plugs directly into audio interfaces, DACs or portable players without proprietary adapters. Buyers who need wireless convenience or active noise cancellation will not find those features here.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the cable to the Monolith M1060C, and what step is often missed?
Plug the supplied cable into the jack on the left ear cup; the step people miss is tightening the threaded locking ring so the connection stays secure during long listening sessions
What part of the Monolith M1060C will need replacement first with daily use?
The comfort ear pads wear out before the planar driver; replacing them restores the original seal and isolation of the closed back design
What limit appears first during extended high-volume sessions with the 106mm planar driver?
The closed back enclosure traps heat around the ears, so listening comfort becomes the limiting factor before the driver reaches its thermal limits
