Monoprice, the best kept secret in consumer electronics, today announced the Monolith M1000ANC premium wireless headphones. With a stylish modern design, premium build and sound quality, a bevy of high-end features and up to 60 hours playtime per charge, these headphones hit all the right notes for a low price of $129.99.

"Our Monolith headphones have an excellent reputation for superb performance at unbeatable prices. These headphones are no exception," said Hobie Sechrest, Monolith Business Unit Manager, Monoprice. "As with all Monolith products, the M1000ANC headphones were engineered for excellent sound quality. Not only did we achieve that, but we also further expanded their capabilities by teaming up with Dirac to deliver an immersive and high-quality soundscape."




Premium Through and Through
As with all Monolith branded audio products, the M1000ANC headphones were engineered to deliver extraordinary quality, performance, and value without compromises. These stylish new headphones feature an ultra-comfortable, lightweight padded headband design with pivoting earcups and memory foam earpads that provide a superb fit for fatigue-free listening. The high-quality 40 mm drivers deliver fantastic sound quality, with crisp highs, smooth mids and deep bass. Dirac Virtuo enhances the listening experience by expanding the sound stage far beyond the physical limitations of the headphones, allowing listeners to hear their music in a more immersive, natural sounding way. These headphones come equipped with a carrying bag, USB-C charging cable and 3.5 mm audio cable.

"Though spatial audio is becoming mainstream, most consumed content is still stereo," stated Lars Isaksson, Dirac's Head of Business Development, Streaming & Headphones. "Dirac Virtuo turns this stereo content into a high-quality immersive sound experience with an accurate soundstage and perfected sound quality. With Dirac Virtuo, Monolith M1000ANC customers will experience an expanded soundscape that includes all spatial cues of the original stereo content - as if it were coming from a pair of high-end home speakers. Monoprice, like Dirac, is a pioneer in audio industry and we look forward to continued collaboration that creates premium, high-quality listening experiences for consumers worldwide."

Features Usually Found in Headphones Twice the Price
  • Bluetooth 5 - With the latest generation of Bluetooth technology, these headphones benefit from higher data transfer rates and lower power consumption to deliver high-quality listening experience, rock solid connection and increased battery life.
  • Active Noise Cancellation - Monolith M1000ANC headphones feature Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation technology and allow up to 35dB of noise reduction. Environmental noises are suppressed so that listeners can hear every nuance of their music clearly. By placing a hand over the earcup, ambient mode activates, letting outside noise in so listeners can hear conversations and their surroundings.
  • A Better Calling Experience - Have crystal clear calls in the busiest areas with Qualcomm Echo Cancelling and Noise Suppression technology. Listeners can use touch controls to answer, decline, or end their calls.
  • Long Battery Life - Listeners will enjoy up to 60 hours of music playback time on a single charge without any interruptions. Quickly charge the M1000ANC headphones with any USB-Type C charging cable. A quick 5-minute charge provides up to two hours of playback.

Each Monoprice product is backed by a 1-year warranty and 30-day money back with no questions asked return policy.

I agree, Monoprice headphones are the best kept secret out there. As someone who has listened to over 200 headphones/amps/dac combos over the years, I still use my planar monoprice headphones every so often for a different flavor of sound. Doesn't beat my HD58X overall, but it does beat it for particular use cases/songs.

@VSG lets get a review of these captain!!!! YEEEEHAAAA

I have a few things to do first, although I did recently submit a review of the Monolith by Monoprice M1070C planar closed-back headphones. Once that's published, I'll check with Monoprice about this one.
