DIANA DZ
NEW! ABYSS DIANA DZ LUXURY HIGH PERFORMANCE HEADPHONE
Meet Diana DZ, the latest in the evolution of the Diana series of ABYSS Headphones. This new model is built upon a lightweight machined aluminum frame with a highly engineered internal structure providing strength and acoustics to compliment the newly developed DZ planar speaker driver. We’ve reduced weight down to 315 grams (without ear pads), the lightest Diana headphone ever produced, and added a soft sling to the headband assembly for exceptional comfort.
A newly developed 63 mm ABYSS planar speaker driver with 50 ohm impedance offers the highest resolution of any Diana model. Diana DZ is relatively easy to drive but very much so excels with higher-end electronics and sources, tube or solid state.
Diana DZ has beautiful imaging and realism to sound, like opening a larger window to the music with a big soundstage, micro detail, and depth. In essence DZ has a near limitless ability to scale with the best systems available, and constantly rewards it’s owner with cool insights into the music and system changes.
Choose from a beautifully curated selection of color options with custom exotic inlays of New Zealand Abalone or Forged Carbon.
Be with the band!
Note: Vegan version comes with cactus leather headband and UltraSuede ear pads. These ear pads have a subtle softening of upper frequencies. Suggest stock lambskin ear pads if you prefer to maximize detail retrieval. You can also order additional Diana magnetic ear pads including bass ported versions at any time to tailor the sound.

Manufacturer's Description
NEW! ABYSS DIANA MR PREMIUM HIGH PERFORMANCE HEADPHONE
New ABYSS DIANA MR headphones are designed to connect audiophile and head-fi aficionados with professional audio mixing and mastering engineers. The team at ABYSS developed this highly universal full-range planar headphone with ultra low distortion, near flat frequency response, and smooth addictive clarity to sound.
DIANA® MR maximizes listening enjoyment with any level of electronics, from a simple USB dongle through high-end tube and solid state headphone amplifiers, this headphone has a universal sound character that sounds amazing with them all.
Its low impedance works well with portable battery operated gear and desktop electronics, extracting amazing resolution out of low voltage power sources while still sounding lush in the bass. This patented newly designed MR planar driver exhibits a flat frequency and phase response with a full natural sound through the bass and midrange, excellent vocals, and an extended high frequency range that's smooth, clear, and true to the source yet never harsh or brash.
With MR you'll hear crazy low level details into the recordings without fatigue, glare, or sibilance. We've instilled the best attributes of high-performance headphones into this one model. The sound is just to die for, effortless and easy. This latest ABYSS Diana MR headphone will fit your head, ears, and brain like it was custom made just for you!
Note: Vegan version comes with cactus leather headband and UltraSuede ear pads.
