Great review Thujan! I'm still a long way from considering headphones at that price, but very informative anyway.
Appreciate the review! This deserves a future follow up trying out the abyss 1266 tc. They so look strange but their is a method to their madness letting the drivers fit to your ears differently. Thanks!
Thujan review = automatic like. Great review!
Thanks Paul!
A great video! Thujan rocks!
Good Stuff...thanks
Thujan you should make more reviews. Very smooth presentation.
Great review... I was tempted but had just pulled the trigger on some Focal Stellia's. Do you guys have any longer headphone cables you like?
Abyss 1266 TC for the win!!! But the Dianas are awesome too :)
You must be rich
@@nataliezementbeisser1492 Gut angelegtes Geld. Ich liebe Musik.
@@DocToxicTF2 Ich brauche noch drei Jobs um die Abyss bezahlen zu können haha
How much of a detail and resolution upgrade over Senn 800s and LCD X?
Nice video, keep up
Awesome headphones
On newer units of the Diana, Abyss have tweaked the frame slightly to reduce the clamp.
Issue I have is that you call the Diana a flagship when the 1266 is the flagship lol
Beautiful regardless!!!!
So the V1 is better for studio work, mixing or mastering than v2?
How are these for competitive gaming? Like FPSs?
To save you trouble, I would say Sennheiser hd 800 would be your best bet for gaming! A wide soundstage really helps with spatial cues.
@@ThujanK yep i have hd800s and for gaming they are godly
Excellent use of the word ‘peeve’.
Have you tried Dan Clark Ether 2? How does that compare? The Ether 2 is 60 g lighter (290 vs. 350 g), for instance.
Is bass better than audeze lcd-4's?
Which one is your personal favorite, the V2? Also which do/did you own?
Does anybody know about the Aliexpress 'Abyss' headphones ? Diana Phi and AB1266...
I'd be super grateful if you could comment a bit more on V1 vs V2 Diana?
I wish you had been more concise regarding the tonality and sound FR differences between the V1 and V2, as some say the V2 is a bass canon, out of balance.
How does focal Stella compare to these ?
One is closed back, while these are open. These headphones are more resolving in detail and transient response. I personally prefer the any of the Diana to a substantial degree.
Hope that helps!
I have Stellia and Diana V2 and both are good and fun in their own ways.
Stellia is like throwing coloured sounding music right into your face… except the person throwing the music is actually standing inside your skull.
Diana V2 is like throwing natural sounding music right into your face… and the person throwing is standing in front of you as it should be in real life.
I also have Abyss 1266 TC, which sound a lot like Diana V2 but wayyyyy bigger sound stage with more slam and even deeper bass.
this is random but camera is canon m50?
It is the Canon RP, with the 35mm f1.8 Rf Lens. Hope that helps!
The best high end headphones in world are the Sennheiser HE-1's but they cost $55,000, there is nothing quite like it in the world, so I'm just waiting for that lottery win.
Same here!
Honestly the 1266 should be better then the he1 i guess but im bias since i own the. 1266 but Just look at the review of Joshua valour
@@adriananonym8258 The price shouldn't be a factor in which gear you like better, I like the sound of the Quad 2812 electrostatics better than the Wilson Alexx speakers, even though the Wilson cost ten times more than the Quad, our ears and brain don't care about the price, when they like something they let us know.
@@laurelhardy4064 true :) thats my Point :)
no the best are the one sounds best to you :) not because that cost so much
lies about the bass and subwoofer effects. it doesn't have beats by dre bass level of bass lol
"oh but you get more bass with expensive amps and dacs"
LITERALLY USE EQULAZISER YOU.. WHATEVER YOU ARE
hi
Hi
These will be in competition w/Utopia when I finally make that summit-fi-ish leap.
And for future reference please don’t use the word “whatnot” when talking about $3k-$5k headphones.
Will do, Thanks for watching!
Lol 'superfast like a rel subwoofer'; No sub can keep up with the speed of a headphone. not even speakers
"No regrets" but they are on loan..
2 were. 1 was his
no frequency response to be seen.
And nothing but your ability to pay for them makes them worth that kind of money.
Jay or bust. This Tujan dude needs to go. Wish Jay would have reviewed these. Or they should have a real reviewer like InToit Reviews! Now that's some great information right there.
Nop, me and many other like Tujan as much as Jay, they complement each other very well
I'm so sorry to hear that! We'll reshoot the video with Jay tommrow!!
@@ThujanK don’t give in. You did great
Why so ugly ? pls take a look the focal celestee
They are frankly built better no doubt. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)
They look great imo
Worse distortion than Apple Airpods Max, seal issues, poor diaphragm tensioning, $2000 cables from the seller. No thanks.
Regardless, the end goal is sound quality. They sound summit fi which supercedes all your points except for the seal. For those that do want it, you'll need the dms pads.
@@RyuMasterEX sound quality has a few quantifiable characteristics and the abyss totally fails one of them. For $3000 it's hardly expecting too much for them to achieve the bare minimum of distortion which even the $500 airpods max can do.
You must hate tubes and love condensation in your headphones. If all you care about is distortion and graphs look into a pair of studio headphones and don't look back. As far as I can tell no actual reviewer had heard the Abyss headphones and resported a negative experiences or "distortion".
@@tbbt2515 I don't hate tubes, they are just less accurate and lower fidelity versus solid state. Studio headphones often also perform poorly in many ways so not sure where you were going with that.
@@joej78 "sTuDio hEadPhoNEs oFteN pErForM pOorLy iN mAnY wAyS", Where did you even get that from? 😂 That's such a false statement. You're obviously clueless and have no idea what you're talking about while praising a consumer grade Airpod Max headphones which are objectively inferior than any studio headphone in terms of sonic fidelity and resolution. Apple's marketing doesn't even translate to real world anyways.
Abyss Diana phi or v2 is not a strictly monitoring headphone and they never said thay are. If you're talking about strictly studio headphones, DT1990 are significantly more resolving and tremendously better sounding than airpods max and unlike airpods max, DT1990s have wide soundstage. Even $100 wired headphone sounds better than airpods max, I'm just saying they're such a bad reference you posted under actual good sounding headphone video
They gotta learn how to tension diaphragms evenly. Maybe...only then maybe we'll consider buying their crap.
Bad take. Reddit isn't exactly full of experts. and usually their opinions are "I don't understand this, so it's bad". I'm sure Abyss has more experience making headphones than you do.
How do you know?
@@sometimesimgoodatgames7618 basic physics understanding is enough to figure out that unvenly tensioned diaphragms would only introduce only more nasty modal resonances.
I mean with all three pairs, I had 0 issues and phenomenal sound. With the original diana being over two years old aswell to take into consideration.
@@tugbars4690 that's common sense. If they couldn't tension their diaphragm properly the company would be out of buissness. Their headphones wouldn't sound palatable at all.
People who opened up their headphones have undone the tensioning of the Diaphragm due to the way the headphone is assembled. There are torque specs that are needed to be known for reassembly.
