Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC Audiophile Reference Headphones

Description

If you've landed here you know exactly what these cans are all about. However, if you've stumbled upon this listing by accident or out of curiosity allow me to elucidate why these are the finest reference headphones that money can buy.
These 'phones have a build quality that’s practically unheard of, in even the rarified environment of mil-spec or aerospace, much less in a consumer product. Abyss hand-builds reference grade headphones in Buffalo, New York using planar magnetic drivers. The parts for Abyss Headphones are machined, finished, and assembled locally, for the utmost in quality control. The patent-pending planar magnetic drivers are known for their powerful dynamics and low-level detail for an effortless, spacious presentation.
Abyss makes everything in-house right down to the screws used to manufacture these 'phones! This attention to detail is apparent even as soon as you take the 'phones out of their packaging. The ear-cups are CNC machined from a solid billet of aluminum and the ear-pads are a thick, padded, very soft lambskin which provide an acoustically tuned space between the diaphragm and the listener’s ear for maximum sound quality. The diaphragm on the 'phones is of an exceptionally low mass and is powered by custom and very powerful neodymium magnets. The back wave of each perfectly matched pair of drivers is a proprietary foam, which even though it looks like spun plastic, is actually made of spun aluminum and designed to control resonance and help linearize the diaphragm movement.
The AB-1266 Phi TC 'phones have a 42Ω impedance, with a ± 0.1Ω tolerance, so they should cause no problems with any headphone amp with which they are paired. The capsule matching, right to left, is 11.1dB which is exemplary.
