he's just as entitled to express his forthright opinion of the abyss as you are
I agree. I also do not care for the design, they look utterly ridiculous. Like a DIY project gone wrong.
I wish it was required for people to have a signature with their current gear inventory, or at least in the information tab of their user page.
I'm not specifically calling you out @ufospls2 but it's nice to be able to get a quick from of reference based on someones' taste with their current gear list. It also helps to answer questions such as, what headphone did you move on to from Utopia? Some of us like to know!
you do yourself a disservice here...i have both and not only is the abyss quite comfortable once you find the proper fit for you but it is IMHO a step up from the utopia....
i auditioned the abyss 1266 (not the phi) a couple of times and liked what i heard. while it wasn't uncomfortable, it felt like a superstructure atop my head.The Abyss 1266 do take a good 5 minutes to get fitted properly, but when they're on right, the sound they put out is absolutely worth the extra work. Also, they are extremely comfortable, don't let the design fool you. There is zero clamping on your ears, so it doesn't even feel like you're wearing headphones. I'm enjoying both the Utopias and the Abyss this week, they are totally different headphones.
there is no right or wrong here, just misunderstandingsWe all have the right to be wrong!
Are you looking for a closed headphone or for a different headphone? I was looking for a closed headphone myself, and I sold my Eikon after spending a few months with it because in the end I just could not deal with its relatively prominent midbass coloration (it's all that wood). Also, as a Utopia owner, I found it way too boring in the long run. I'll admit that it may be more neutral than the Utopia, sure, but it was not for me.Any Utopia owners also a fan of ZMF headphones? Been eyeing the Eikon to complement my Utopia...

Or always be wrong when you think you are right.
