Monoprice Monolith M565 Headphone Review

[Deleted member 89070]

Did somebody at Monoprice shoot this thing before they sent it to you? In any case, thanks for the autopsy, Amir.

Like a megaphone, just plain weird tuning up top and no bass resolution whatsoever. Couldn't listen for more than 30 seconds.

I think Monoprice has a 560 model, closed back, which is supposed to be quite good.

I was incorrect about the model name. The model name is the 565C, and is a closed design. It is rated highly by Wirecutter. I believe Brent Butterwoth, working with Wirecutter, tested the frequency response of them using basically the same system that you do. It might be difficult to hunt down that test though. I do think Mr. Butterworth has his own site.
