Headphones with a Balanced sound signature presents a precise sound and an enriching listening experience, where sounds are naturally presented without extreme emphasis on any region. With a pair of headphones with this sound signature, you can hear audio with clarity and detail. The sound is vivid and revealing, a perfect mixture of instruments and vocals, lows, mids, and highs. This sound signature works for most music listeners who like switching between various music genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk and Pop.

These Wired Headphones are designed for discerning music lovers. If you are someone who cares about audio quality deeply, you'll want a pair of Wired Headphones like these. You can expect these Wired Headphones to present you with a refined listening experience. The audio quality exhibited by these Wired Headphones is a beautiful mix of musicality, technical brilliance and high precision. These Wired Headphones deliver a spacious and open soundstage that compares listening to music on actual speakers.

If you plug your wired headphones directly into your phone or laptop, you are probably not hearing them at their best. This usually happens because the amplifier in your phone or laptop is not capable enough to drive your headphones to their best. A dedicated headphone amplifier is an elegant solution for this, and it can power your wired headphones to their maximum capability. When you invest in a good pair of wired headphones that are hard to drive, it's worth getting a dedicated headphone amp as it will make your headphones sound even better.

Headphones with an Open-Back design are rather special in that they allow air to pass through the headphone ear cups to the speaker. What this means is that since open-back headphones don’t block surrounding noises as closed-back do, you’ll be able to enjoy an immersive sound experience. The sound is more natural and high fidelity due to the lack of pressure build-up. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting a feeling as if the musicians are all sitting around you. These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions and mixing and mastering music due to their accurate soundstage presentation.

Planar Magnetic technology has been around for decades and headphones with Planar Magnetic drivers present a more detailed, more coherent representation of the music. Planar Magnetic driver features a series of magnets on both sides of a very large, flexible diaphragm containing tiny, electrically charged wires. When an audio signal is passed through it an electrical conductor moves between fixed magnets, reproducing sound waves. Headphones with a Planar Magnetic driver deliver an accurate and distortion-free audio signal.

A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

DIANA headphones are all about style, and sound. The world's thinnest boutique headphone has gone through many incremental improvements since inception to attain perfection. Now with updated speaker drivers and taking cues from the exceptional sounding DIANA Phi, the DIANA V2 offers improved comfort, clarity, and soundstage, and plays very nicely with moderately priced gear.

DIANA retains the amazing speed and impact of the large AB-1266 Phi while miniaturizing the entire headphone package. ABYSS spent two years toggling between Solidworks 3D software and machining prototypes to reach a point where the DIANA headphone couldn't be any thinner. The result being an ultra-thin yet rigid shell, well dressed in a choice of two classy outfits. The DIANA headphones house all-new speaker transducers customized for the thin profile of the DIANA. These drivers are engineered to play the delicate nuances of piano and violin yet pound your head with clean powerful crescendos when called upon.

DIANA headphones are sleek and comfortable. The patented flat speakers create a wall of sound that tickles the ears with details rarely heard in your music and replicates them to exacting standards. Hear details unheard of while you kick back to some music while on the move or in one place. The thinnest boutique headphone in the world is sculpted from aircraft grade aluminum for incredible strength to withhold wear and tear.

Acoustics are huge with headphones, they’re like tiny rooms for your ears. ABYSS has fine-tuned these housings to offer up speakers like performance around your head, and sound as if you are seated next to the band performing. The open back Fibonacci hole pattern was tuned to match the speaker drivers perfectly, delivering a lifelike sound that's real and just like itself. Open back nature means more of a sense of space and you-are-there realism, with a positive benefit of allowing you to still hear your surroundings even while on the go. The open-back form factor is often cherished for the tonality and realism it creates.

Adhering to ABYSS design, longevity, and lack of moving parts are very important traits for final sound quality. DIANA'S design aims to prevent squeaks and the need for repair. The sliding headband has been tested for over a thousand heads to get the right fit that DIANA can adapt to any head shape. The flexible magnetic headband adjusts smoothly and cradles your head comfortably without pressure, combined with lambskin ear pads make for a comfortable, fatigue-free listening experience. The proximity of the natural-sounding speakers to your ears allows the brain to focus on music with an illusion of floating outside of your head.

ABYSS creates every headphone from scratch in the US of A. Producing the planar drivers, CNC forging the aluminum frame components, and skilfully assembling the DIANA Phi with US made stainless steel hardware, all within Buffalo, New York, USA. The deluxe leather carry bag is made in California. The Wooden box is made and sourced in New York state.

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.

What do "Impedance" and "Ohms" mean?

Impedance is the so-called alternating-current resistance that headphones have under specific standard conditions. On devices with low output impedance, headphones are the louder, the lower their impedance is. In principle, we recommend that you choose headphones with low impedance for use on devices that are operated by battery/rechargeable battery (i.e. most portable devices such as smartphones, tablet computers but also notebooks). You can distinguish between high and low impedance. Usually, the gradations 18 Ω, 32 Ω, and 80 Ω are used in the low range. In the high range, 250 Ω are common. If you want to get the most out of your system (and it has the power to do so), choose a model with 600 Ω.

Don't sweat it, this Abyss - DIANA® V2 comes with a warranty from Abyss that covers manufacturing defects. All products featured on Headphone Zone are backed by an original manufacturer's warranty.
