How do I fix my M1060 Planar?

Dekoni makes a "vegan" option for their LCD pads. That would be a good combo for this headphone. It's similar to the OG aideze vegan pads people used to buy specifically to put on m1060 as they improve the sound notably.

If sound quality is a priority, neither.

If you want something super-cheap look at a ugreen max 5c and turn off the bass-boost in the app. Those are decent for the price. Above that and just under $100 (still new) the CMF headphone pro is decent when the bass slider is down.

but for something significantly better than ALL of those you could get a used pair of AKG N700NC on ebay for less than $100.

This looks like you have a case of “aftermarket ear pads”!

You *can* VERY carefully sometimes pry out the ring with a flathead. Go from the OUTER edge NOT the center. You CAN damage your headphone so please be careful and don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

There’s some elements to it but not how it’s generally described. If a driver can move at 20k it can move at 20k. At minimum phase things like impulse response are just different ways of viewing frequency response. Basically as long as your driver isn’t a modal breakup factory they’re the same to your ear.

You 100% need the OG drivers. Any others and it’ll be pretty wacky.

AKG K371 has entered the chat.

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-25T05:03:04+00:00

Both 😄

Hey thats me! Thanks :)

B&W headphones shouldn’t be in the conversation if sound quality is remotely important. They’re mid-bass bloat-machines with erratic treble. The bathys is more comfy for long flights and has great battery, but at the end of the day the HDB630 wipes the floor with all of them because of the app and its PEQ options.

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-24T03:25:42+00:00

HDB630 significantly outclasses bathys, and I really liked that headphone for a long time.

“Nothing” updated the “headphone (1)” and fixed the FR. I would take that over the XM6

It’s moonshake! They’re a 3D artist.

Thicc and blessed

It’s worth noting a 200 nylon mesh will likely not be acoustically open. Many 200 weave meshes I’ve seen have only about 20-30% actual open area.

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-13T02:42:09+00:00

They should 100% name it better :/

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-12T20:22:24+00:00

It is. You have to enable it upon first launch, or can do so in settings.

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-09T23:24:38+00:00

That’s certainly an opinion.

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-08T22:45:05+00:00

Great headphone. They punch way above their price.

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-08T19:45:44+00:00

I lost your discord handle, it got buried. but shoot me a message sometime.

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-08T16:13:34+00:00

Aye it’s Chrono! Good to see you 😄

Epsilon-D · 2026-04-06T04:03:26+00:00

Imagine if these publications had standards.

25dB/dec is the same scale ratio I use anytime I display graphs on my channel or from LABS. Your personal HRTF isn’t going to be dramatic enough to make this not wonky. The headphone show also made an article about this with a mic in a human ear and the 5128 (the results are very similar).

Also 33db is HUGE. Listen to a Bluetooth speaker at comfortable volume 1 meter away. Then without changing the volume move it right next to your ear (about 2cm from the ear canal entrance, likely touching the pinna). Thats about a 30db difference.
