Monoprice M570 is out, anyone have a listen?

Not necessarily, it depends on the headphone how it will react and change the sound

I think I would spend the extra $50 and get the Blon’s. they look much better with the wood. these M570’s look like they replaced the wood with plastic. :stuck_out_tongue:

But it is wood lol. It’s just darker

i got the blon b20’s coming. I just ordered the M570. I think when i get the b20’s i’ll just send them back to Drop. I trust Monoprice. They are a known brand in the field. Who’s Blon? I’ve never heard of them before, they dont even have a website. All they’ve done is copy the sendy aiva’s.

Monoprice has shown consistent good judgement for a while now. Their headphones are well reviewed. They embraced THX and put out a amp. And they are making a aiva clone. I’m keeping my eye on this company. They seem to have good judgement and their act together.

They are great at getting cheap products out that are good. I don’t think they are a role model company, but I would trust their products more then some unknown new brand unless that brand is an offshoot of a more established brand. I do think unknown brands can make great products, I just worry about warranty and availability with small brands

Blon appears to be a Linsoul line as it’s a product optoin on their site.

Yeah, I would trust something from linsoul imo. They seem to be a quality distributor

they seem like a economical company too. maybe a little bit like drop. at least in this situation

I’ve had a sketchy experience with their support, but did get it resolved in the end

I mean I did tell you about my broken amp through the rma They did basically almost no questions asked after I told them my trouble shooting and paid to full shipping labels. First one didn’t have customs since I live in Canada and the second one was DHL took less than a week to get here after I sent it out. And I got cables from them after one would break free of charge. I break a lot of my 3.5mms

I just had where there was a really bad driver crinkle with random cutouts, and it took lots of back and fourth with them to actually get a return going, because they initially claimed it was normal and fine and wouldn’t offer the rma/return

I guess it depends on the person you get

Had mine for a little bit and the internals are definitely the same as the 20’s and Aiva’s.

Forgot to mention the driver crinkle thing. Seems to be a common problem with the driver from the Sendy on down but it isn’t driver crinkle in most cases. It is actually the mesh in most cases. Mine had that “crinkle” but I notice the mesh was lifting off in some places and when I got it all stuck back down the “crinkle” was completely gone.

you should post that to the M570 thread. maybe we can figure out why they dont sound as good as teh aivas lol

I just went to the website and went through a form there. i listed my reason as being unsatisfied with the sound quality. they emailed me back a few days later with the RMA and fedex shipping label np

Who knows, but I had to do some finagling for some reason

Mon, they looked at your FBI audiophile file. They said “this guy has purchased more high end headphones than any one person could possibly use. There’s something fishy going on here. Don’t trust him!” And hassled you on your return.

Lol that would be funny, but it was before this forum and I haven’t participated in other forums (or had any info on what I own). So obviously they had some other way of getting that info…

It’s blatantly obvious these are all made by the same company. Monoprice is best value but they have no souls like gingers.
