That's a huge statement! Unfortunately monolith can be quite hard to get in Australia, buying direct gets crushed with fees and shipping. Sometimes Amazon does have good deals but it doesn't look like it's even on there.Monolith AMT, kicks the butt of a lot of kilobuck cans, including HD-800S, HEKv2, HE6v2, etc. The tech is just better than dynamic and planar drivers. The imaging is meticulous, the sound field is holographic and deep, with great layering both side to side and front/back. Other headphones have a Wall of Sound effect, these sound natural.
Biggest caveat is that they have a flat tuning from 1K-6KHz so EQ is a must. The units are made by GoldPlanar, so use the EQ for GL850 as a base. (Which is GP's version) Note that they weigh 680g, due to the magnets.
Problem is right now they aren't on sale, which MSRP is $999. Often drops down to $600-650 range. I paid $420. ($599 + 30% coupon)
I use them with Redscape, and I had to retune the HRTF timing for head size to get it back to being spot on. The detail retrieval is estat level. Yes, I compared them to the HD-800S and the other cans I mentioned. There's a big thread on Head-Fi about these cans. These are endgame for me, until they come out with a newer version that addresses the flat tuning.
Do you know if Audeze mini XLR works with these? As I love boom mics and I use Audezes mic with my hd800.
