After a few weeks with Diana MR, I can now say that this is one of my favorite headphones. It's a shared tie with Susvara as my favorite. I like it so much that I've even decided to get each different pad option as they all have a very unique effect on the sound signature. Only thing missing are the Dekoni pads, and those arrive on Monday
I have the leather bass ported pads on right now. They just arrived today along with bass ported vegan suedes, and the first thing I noticed was just how beautiful of a patina the leather is forming. Somehow looks even better than the stock non-ported leathers. Can't thank my friend enough for sending me his bass ported suedes to try a couple weeks ago. Completely changed my perspective of this headphone. The non-ported pads are great too though. Really enjoying having all four on hand as it really gives you neat tuning options.
Seriously great job Abyss. Now I'm really tempted to get a Diana TC or 1266 lol
Diana MR and Empyrean II compliment each other
very well.
