Abyss Diana MR Planar Headphones

The world’s thinnest boutique planar headphone with 63 mm drivers, leather headband, and an all-aluminum frame. Made in Buffalo, NY.

Abyss’ Diana MR headphones are designed to connect audiophile and head-fi aficionados with professional audio mixing and mastering engineers. This highly universal full-range planar headphone offers ultra-low distortion, near-flat frequency response, and a smooth addictive clarity.

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 deep in the recordings without fatigue, glare, or sibilance. Abyss has instilled the best attributes of high-performance headphones into this one model. 

Vegan Options

The vegan version comes with a cactus leather headband and UltraSuede ear pads. These ear pads have a subtle softening of upper frequencies that for most listeners complement this headphone and systems nicely. They are also quite comfortable. Abyss recommends lambskin ear pads if you prefer to maximize detail retrieval. You can also order additional Diana magnetic ear pads including bass-ported versions to tailor the sound at will.

Diana MR comes with the stock ear pads as they have the most linear frequency response below 20 Hz. Bass-ported ear pads trade deep sub-bass for a bump above as a more tailored bass response for those seeking a fuller sound.

Made in USA

Abyss CNC machines and finishes the all-aluminum frame components, produces its own planer speaker drivers, and skillfully assembles the final product at its facility in Buffalo, New York.

The Diana is the thinnest and lightest boutique headphone in the world sculpted from aircraft-grade aluminum for incredible strength. The high-quality leather headband is fitted with soft race-car-inspired Alcantara® and added padded elements to eliminate hot spots. An additional soft cushion pad is included. 

A high-tech polymer ceramic finish with custom in-lays of carbon fiber or exotic wood surrounds the large 63 mm patented planar speakers. The latest generation Diana ear pads are made in-house with head-shaped foam and a ‘pillow top’ cushion that adapts to the shape of your head for long-term comfort with minimal clamping force.

A Fibonacci side-hole pattern properly tunes the sound while allowing a natural flow of air. The headband size adjustments use magnets over magnets with no parts to wear out. The updated headband design twists and flexes in sync with the cushion ear pads to perfectly contour to your head shape for a comfortable custom fitment.
