I know the ASR dudes would say I'm a victim of marketing, and price bias ("its expensive therefore its good" mentality.)
but
I've owned pretty much every flagship headphone available, and a lot of the lower level headphones from various brands as well. Abyss has been my favourite since I first bought a used pair of the original 1266. Other headphones have come and gone, but since I first tried them, I have always had an Abyss of some form in my collection. The Susvara is a hell of a headphone, it truly is, yet my AB-1266TC remains my favourite headphone I have ever tried or owned.
I know the measurements aren't "good." Yet I still reach for the 1266 TC over anything else when I really really want to have a listening session that I will enjoy.
I can be shown data till the cows come home, I just don't care. I like their sound.
