Thats the Diana? No way id pay 2-3 grand for that. Its ugly lol. It looks like a mix of 90's-early 2000's apple mixed with 80's
Id rather bump up to the full abyss for that amount of clams. Or go for a LCD4

 
Save your clams.  Full Abyss.  Never look back.  Done deal.  Post pics.

The design looks like massive sonic compromises (which I couldn't live with). And yes, it's ugly in my eyes.

 

[warrior1975]

I don't mind the design. Just don't care for white for actual use.

I still prefer the look of the Steve.

 

[up late]

i think it looks fine and expected its design to be less polarising than the abyss. guess i thought wrong.

 

[potkettleblack]

Don't think it's bad looking at all. In black I actually think it will look great.

 

[kdbur]

Yep, black for me too.................................with those colours, they are obviously aiming this at certain people, especially when they talk about using it ''on the beach''.................don't think they mean for scruffy sods like me lying on a towel on the sand though......seems more for lying on the beach.......on your yacht!.............................can't wait to hear them though.

I wonder what the Diana offers (in terms of sound) that the Abyss does not, since the Diana isn't meant to be so much of a "reference" headphone. It's been auditioned now, but those people don't seem to have found this thread.

 

[kdbur]

Maybe it will be to the abyss what the Edition X is to ​HE1000........................same flavour but less ''reference'' and super easy to drive...... and a cheaper price.....most users seem happy with what Edition X brought to the table for nearly half the price of HE 1000...........like you said no comments from those who have heard the Diana's.

If it's just an inferior version and offers nothing unique, then I wouldn't even be interested.
 
The Diana is close enough to the price of the Abyss ($3,000 vs $4,495 for the Lite package without the unnecessary accessories) anyway, and ultimately, I don't care about price.

Will Diana have 3 pin mini XLRś like the Abyss, so we can use the SuperConductor HP or ? ray_tone1:

 

[mulder01]

It's meant to be portable isn't it?  So maybe a 3.5mm stereo plug to do straight into smartphones?

Any date for the grand presentation of DIANA, Joe?

While Diana headphones are out and about with some of our worldwide partners, we decided to hold back final production while we implement some new high-tech engineered components we are working to incorporate into her driver design.

In the mean time, her playmate is ready, willing, and able. Meet the Lotoo Paw Gold Diana® Edition...

So what's changed between the regular LPG and the Diana version of the LPG?
