(VIDEO Review) Abyss AB-1266 Reference Planar Magnetic Headphone- Lite Edition
Made in the USA. We machine all aluminum frame components and produce our planer speaker drivers in-house in Western New York. Leather goods such as ear pads, headbands, and carry bags are sewn in California.
No plastic parts to break, all components machined from solid aluminum for exceptional strength. Integrated resonance control for minimal added coloration. Proprietary planar magnetic transducer design (Patent Pending) utilizing our very thin, very low mass diaphragm. Effortless dynamics and low level detail retrieval in the bass, mids, and highs with spacious sound outside of your head. A front row listening experience with stunning bass impact no other headphone can provide.
High quality finishes, polished metal accents, hand-brushed artistic touches. Unique breathable aluminum sides acoustically tuned to our planar diaphragm for completely open sound. XLR 4 pin cable set in an 8 FT length (2.5 meter), and a 1/4" (6.3 mm) cable adaptor, all custom made high performance cables by JPS Labs for Abyss. Internal wiring also by JPS Labs.
High quality soft lambskin ear pads provide comfort and finely tuned acoustics. Magnetically adjustable positioning lets you fine tune acoustics and fit for your music, and you. Padded leather headband with head movement isolation properly distributes weight for hours of comfortable wear. Looks are deceiving, these headphones are designed not to clamp your head, but rather float atop and loosely touch your ears (no problem with eye glasses). 'Abyss' embroidered logo.
Please note that this 'Lite' version is the exact same headphone as in the AB-1266 Deluxe package with less accessories, and includes a 4 pin XLR cable and 1/4" (6.3 mm) adaptor. Purchase the Deluxe AB-1266 Headphone set as a complete package if you seek the Abyss headphone stand, heavy leather man bag carry case, or dual 3 pin XLR balanced cable set (not sold separately).
