The ABYSS Diana is almost unmistakably an ABYSS product. A borderline impractical form factor has always been its calling card and part of its quirky charm. But make no mistake, the Diana is a serious pair of headphones with a patent-pending planar magnetic design that places audiophile-quality audio into an impossibly thin package.
“I’m into music by nature, and I listen to a lot of hip-hop, R&B, and pop and especially. I mostly listen on the move, and I use my iPhone and my Apple buds for this. I used to have a pair of Bose headphones actually, but did not replace them after they spoil as I find that the Apple buds are fine. However, I’m used to gaming headphones, but they are thick and get uncomfortable when you wear them for a long time. Because of that, I find that the Diana particularly thin and sleek. Plus you can also see through it, which is really cool. The sound is really clear, and the separation is good as well. Because of my experience with gaming headsets, I find that the Diana is not really a bassy headphone but it’s acceptable to me. I find the brown version really cool – it’s sleek and classy.” – @tessachann
