How does the M1070 compare to your other Planars? Where would you say that it sits in the Hierarchy? Better than your HE5XX and Sundara? Trying to sort this one out because of lack of reviews.

I'm not in STEM, i'm in ... STEM-adjacent humanities, and I hear it all the time. Read it all the time. My lecturers use it, other students use it, papers use it, I'm pretty sure I used it today ... is this a regional thing or am I just moving in extremely specific circles?

One of my favorite headphones with velour pads. Good deal.

Reply to comment by Canam82 in Is this corrosion? I’ve been using these for roughly a month. They are rated as iP57 but I still did not expose to water directly. The only time they get wet are when I clean them (roughly 3:10 dilution ipa to water, very conservative amount on microfiber cloth and wiped) and if I sweat. by DecayableRadiologist
I got rid of it using 99% ipa. Does it come back or was this just a one time thing?

If you're in STEM academia, it's quite common.

That's what it looks like, although it's very easy to get rid of with a pencil eraser.

It's okay, I assumed Singapore dollars and it wasn't far off at all! 😛

They are $40 US and up nowadays for used sets, and $60-$80 or more if new in the box. I know because I used to have some back in the day, was feeling nostalgic and after searching extensively on that auction site, decided they were not worth the current asking prices.

Australian dollars, also including pads prices. Conversion rates moment.
I need to remember to take Freedom Dollar conversions into account on this site 🙂

70 bucks?? I remember Portas as a 30 or-so dollar headphones. That's the whole appeal.

Modern dongle dac and retro headphones with my fav colour Yaxi pads is tickling me nicely.
Sound is about what I expected from the barely 70 dollar Portas. A bit less detailed than other cans I own but man I love the style, and the bass is indeed nice out of these!

The another manufacturer you can take is S.M.S.L. Almost the same price as topping and have the same performance but looks different.

Bet.
As a side note (more of a general question). If it was corrosion and cleaned off, will it return again and again? I guess this applies to other things as well.

I've got the same exact setup! Using Hifiman XSs with an Ananda headband. I also use it to power my bookshelf speakers. Magni Heresey + Modi is such an awesome kit for the price
