Meet Diana DZ, the latest in the evolution of the Diana series of ABYSS Headphones.

Diana DZ offers lots of spatial information and depth like the big AB1266, and sounds great with both tube and solid state amps. DZ will drop right into your existing optimized headphone system and sing. Going forward, as your system evolves DZ will scale and reward you for the investment with dynamic life-like sound that's never boring, never annoying, just right.

Diana DZ sounds awesome on a big tube amp like the Woo Audio WA33 JPS Abyss Edition. Overall resolution directs your ears toward very subtle low level details and spatial cues within the large musical soundstage that tubes tend to accentuate. DZ won’t rip apart the recording and the system, it’s more about enjoying the content rather than analyzing it, sophisticated detail within the musical presentation.

Diana DZ is also lighter and more comfortable. This new model is built upon a lightweight machined aluminum frame with a highly engineered internal structure providing strength and acoustics to compliment the new Abyss DZ planar speaker driver. DZ is the lightest Abyss headphone ever produced.

New hybrid ear pads with soft Ultrasuede on the face side come stock, this combines with a further refined internal headband design and relaxed fitment, and the new sling headband completely eliminates top of head hot spots. In all, DZ is 99.9% compatible with any head shape, it’s one of the most comfortable headphones on the planet.

Diana DZ has beautiful imaging and realism to sound, like opening a large window to the music with a big soundstage and depth, recreating the space of live recordings and movie effects like no other. In essence DZ has a near limitless ability to scale with the best systems and content, and constantly rewards it’s owner with cool insights into your music.

Description

DIANA MR headphones are designed to connect those who appreciate top shelf headphone sound with a minor focus on midrange and vocals. ABYSS developed this highly refined full-range planar headphone with ultra low distortion and smooth addictive clarity to sound.

A relatively low 30 ohm impedance works well with low voltage portable battery operated gear as well as higher power desktop electronics, extracting excellent resolution while still sounding lush in the bass. The newly designed Diana MR patented planar speaker drivers have a very organic frequency 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 low level details into the recordings without fatigue, glare, or sibilance. We've instilled the best sonic attributes of high-performance headphones into one. The sound is effortless and easy. Weight has been reduced to a lightweight 315 grams, and the newly added soft sling headband is exceptionally comfortable for long-term listening sessions. This latest ABYSS Diana MR headphone will fit your head, ears, and brain like it was custom made just for you!

Note: Vegan version (no animal skins) comes with cactus leather headband and UltraSuede ear pads.Suede ear pads have a subtle softening of upper frequencies, helpful to tame harder sounding music. Suggest lambskin ear pads if you prefer to maximize detail retrieval and soundstage size. You can also order additional Diana magnetic ear pads including bass ported versions at any time to tailor the sound at will.
