Introducing JOAL, our highest value headphone.
From the Abyss website...
"Every track is a Master! JOAL’s ability to extract very subtle audible cues from music and movies and recreate the space of the original recoding is uncanny. It’s like having the master tape for every song; any vintage, any genre. Huge open soundstage with depth and layering, hearing the space around each instrument and singer is so fun.
JOAL is a time machine for music, never ceases to amaze as it feeds your soul. Fifty’s, 60’s, 70’s rock and roll; EDM, jazz, blues, classical, even bluegrass will touch you in ways that must be heard to grasp.
Abyss headphone durability and build quality is top shelf, best in the World of headphones, backed by a 10 year Private warranty for the original owner insuring your investment in this timeless design and sound.
JOAL is the culmination of over 15 years of research and development in producing the World’s finest headphones. Abyss patented planar speaker driver tech is well known for the ability to reproduce music with amazing full range subtle detail, deep bass, and space that immerses you with the sound of your favorite bands. JOAL now takes this to yet another level in sound reproduction.
Made in our New York, USA facility from scratch, JOAL encompasses everything we’ve learned about what people want in a headphone. It's Diana inspired lightweight CNC machined aluminum frame, durable finishes, low profile headband with magnetic adjustability, and the highest quality Ultrasuede materials for all day comfort like a pillow on your head.
JOAL wears well and looks great on you, and plays music beautifully when connected to inexpensive electronics all the way up the finest in high-end source gear and headphone audio systems.
For Bluetooth functionality, pair JOAL with the optional tiny pocket size iFi Go Blu headphone amp option at checkout for great wireless sound.
