I just reprint it. You can see it in this link

Lately I've noticed the right driver is having issues. At moderately loud volumes there's audible distortion at certain frequencies like piano notes. As if something inside is vibrating and is loose. Sounds like 'tssk tssk'. Anyone had this issue before? 2 abyss headphones and both have had issues

I think you can check the seal of the headphones. For example checking if you have a leak from your earpads. Or adjust the frame, angle and headband. As we know the TC driver will have a slightly different response with different level of seal.

See if adjusting the seal will help.

That looks so close to the real thing. If I came across it, I would think it was just an OG Abyss 1266.

Abyss, you know what they say...imitation is the highest form of flattery!

We’re aware of it. Apparently some guy in China enjoys making knock off headphones of various manufactures. If he was smart he would use all that energy to make his own in his image with his own brand name; maybe one day.

 

[vkenz]

well, if you can instead make a very entry level affordable headphones maybe they will stop cloning?

We talked about this...

I may have described it wrong, although they made fakes. But they didn't sell them cheaply, but pretended to be third-party distributors in various places and sold them as genuine products. The user only found out that something was wrong after the purchase. They usually sell fakes for $3,200. One thing is very important, they will pretend to be the old version of 1266 instead of the new version of tc.

Abyss1266 fakes have appeared in China. Please pay attention​

This is a photo of a fake. The word LCD 2016 is written on the unit diaphragm.


There are some abnormalities in the appearance of the headset.

1. The cork pad is very thick, 1mm thick. For the other 1266 I disassembled, this layer is only about 0.2mm.

2. The logo part is very rough and feels very burry, but early manufacturers used laser marking.

3. The whole machine is brushed aluminum spray painted, and the official is sand blasting + spray painting.

4. The cover plate is laser cut, and the fineness is not enough. The laser starting point is obvious. The process on other 1266 is very fine. It should be wire cut or laser, but the path is made.

At present, it has circulated in China's second-hand market, and the price is abnormally low. Many people have been deceived. I don't know when it will flow overseas

Finally we could get spare parts (headband) for good price

Was worried when I checked the logo on my 1266 OG in depth :

But all good Sounds also fantastic

Unbelievably, looking under the pads, tiny bit of fuzz? Used a dust blower , cleaned it up a bit.

While they were disassembled it was a great opportunity to clean them and check out this great tip Works pretty well if you know what you are doing!

incredibly as a long time abyss 1266 owner and lover...from OG to all the different versions and of course TC today I was shocked that a little change in pad position has amazingly improved the sound even more....I had basically been using the same pad position all along and just for kicks I tried different settings and settled on a different one that is more comfortable and to my surprise and delight with a bit more of an opening in the back of the ear cups things have really changed for the better....more open sounding,bass even more incredible and all in simply marvelous...that is the really great thing about this HP the amount of changes one can create....

I used to go high impedance and high gain. I switched it to low impedance and high gain recently, and I think it sounds better.

Did the same, switched to low impedance and high gain, sounds better and less fatiguing on the ears.

I just came back from a local meet where the main attraction was WA33 + Dave and I must admit that I still have a jaw on the ground! My 1266 TC has never played like this before. Interestingly, I preferred the 1266 TC on my cable (Lazuli Ultra) than the SC, the SC clearly reduced the sound of the 1266 and added some treble.
