Yeah, be happy to!

I'm speechless... Considering that they might cost a lot more than the already not that cheap standard edition... but well, taste does not have a price tag I guess

 

[mulder01]

They would have to be forkin' out $10k+ for these customized monstrosities I reckon

 

[customcoco]

Certainly some taste-less rapper going for the most expensive pair of cans they can get...
 
If I were to design a custom pair, I'd go for the following :
 
Standard non-anodized aluminium for the frame cups and outer grill, tan leather for the pads and headband, deep blue anodized screws for the sake of contrast and perhaps a deep brown interior grill.
 
Sounds good to me...

Actually I'm quite happy with their default color scheme. In I think Henry Fords tradition: color doesn't matter as long as its black
 
And No, I'm not one of those people that would live with something they see as ugly just because of its sound...

 

[fastphones]

Must be the Lady Gaga edition! Truly grotesque!

 

[plakat]

At second thought: they missed out on using strass/rhinestone for the Abyss logo on the headband... possibilities are endless

 

[fastphones]

Errrr, its not a real product is it? I mean it has been Photo Shopped or something, right?

Let's not forget this other gem from October:
 

 

Custom one-of-a-kind AB-1266 made for one customer per his spec. Polished purple and gold, soft snakeskin pads, the only stock components are the transducers. Expensive, and Wild!

 
Gives new meaning to the phrase, "Pimp your headphone!" XD
 
Also note the spider web design. Those familiar with the Abyss prototype will appreciate this. I wonder if it alters acoustics...
 
Originally, there was going to be the option to insert discs into that area to customize the sound, but the plans were scrapped.

If I ever had a custom one made, I'd at least try to avoid goofy color schemes like the two so far. Red and black is pretty awesome to my tastes, but...

...I have to agree that the all black is fine and dandy.

It is an actual photo of a genuine Abyss, shared on Abyss Headphones' Facebook page.
 

Another one of a kind Abyss headphone headed to it's new owner- Ostrich and all...

So who else is going to the big Michigan Head-Fi meet in a few months?
 
I may showcase some gear there, and naturally, they will have the Abyss and lots of other high-end stuff.

 

[ShanghaiT]

I noticed a strange smell coming from these after 2 weeks of use. Its not overwhelming, but definitely present. Its a metallic-like burning smell that reminds me of a circuit board that has shorted out.
I thought something was coming from my electronics stack, but found out its from the headphones. 
 
Anyone else notice this?

 

[mulder01]

uh oh
Both drivers?  Is it possible you drove them too hard?
Mine smell like leather

 

[ShanghaiT]

Yeah, both have that smell. I drove them from my hugo last night. Moderate to loud volume but nothing excessive. Hmmmm.

Oh my... just had to make sure mine is still black on black and nobody got in at night to change that
 
Regarding the spider web: given how sensitive these drivers react to different load (i.e. air resistance and reflexions) I can well imagine that it can make a difference.
