Monolith by Monoprice AMT Headphones

The AMT driver uses a pleated diaphragm to move air faster and more efficiently than traditional dynamic drivers. This results in exceptionally fast transient response, meaning you will hear sharper details, cleaner highs, and a more precise separation of instruments.

Yes, the open-back design allows sound to escape through the earcups, which creates a wider, more natural soundstage. Because of this, they are best suited for private listening environments like a home office or quiet room rather than public spaces like an office or commute.

With an impedance of 32 Ohms and a sensitivity of 90dB/mW, these headphones are relatively easy to power. While you can drive them directly from many devices, using a quality dedicated headphone amplifier will ensure you get the best performance and dynamic range out of the AMT drivers.

Yes, they are designed for extended sessions with plush earcups and a padded headband to distribute weight evenly. However, at 24 ounces, they are heavier than many standard consumer headphones, so you may notice the weight during very long listening marathons.

Absolutely. The earpads are designed to be easily replaceable, allowing you to maintain comfort and hygiene over the long life of the headphones. This also gives you the option to experiment with different pad materials if you choose to customize your fit.

These headphones use a mini 4-pin XLR connector on the earcups. The package includes a 6-foot cable and a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, making it easy to connect to a variety of home audio equipment.
