Abyss - DIANA® V2

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.
