FAQ
Q: What are the unique features of the Monolith M565C headphones?
A: The Monolith M565C headphones feature a planar driver that has been completely redesigned and engineered for closed back enclosures, producing low distortion, improved linearity, and spectacular imaging in a closed back design. They also have a closed back design that delivers excellent audio isolation, allowing the sonic landscape to not be disturbed by the outside world. Additionally, the headphones are engineered to be comfortable for extended listening sessions with large comfy earpads made of faux leather and a padded headband.
Q: Do these headphones require an amplifier?
A: In the sense that all wired headphones do, yes. They are not self-amplified like Bluetooth headphones are. But they will work OK with the amp found in ordinary equipment like phones and computers. Certainly they will benefit from higher quality DACs, or more power, or cleaner electronics, like any headphones would.
Q: How is the isolation in these headphones? Do they block much conversation from people around you?
A: The Monolith M565C headphones deliver excellent audio isolation, allowing the sonic landscape to not be disturbed by the outside world. However, they are better than open back 'phones but not that great at blocking conversation from people around you.
Q: What is the length of chord plug-in?
A: The cord is 79 inches long.
Q: Are these headphones comfortable for people with small heads?
A: The Monolith M565C headphones should fit people with small heads as they have an adjustable strap across the top of the head and spring close to touch earpads when not on a head.
Q: What is your opinion of the sound quality of these headphones?
A: Sound is subjective, but some customers have noted that these headphones have a dark sounding profile out of the box but take EQ well. They feature good detail, solid bass and pleasing midrange tonality. However, they may require EQ or tone controls to sound balanced out of the box.
