Which side does the Abyss logo on the headband face in terms of what's the front?

You should be able to read it from TOP down before placing it on your head. The jack will face slightly forward.

Thank you. I know somewhere I heard it technically doesn't matter, but even if it didn't it would bug me to know I was potentially not wearing it correctly.

Well that's true since it only goes forward just a little. I tried rotating and it really doesn't matter. Left and right is based on the cable rather then the headphone

How did you like/dislike the Abyss? How would you compare it to your Th900? I know, 2 different price points and 2 very different styles.

I've been debating these for quite some time, as my ever growing stable of IEMS has to come to an end.

Will I get a decent idea of the sound of these with a mojo as an amp for now? If I do decide to purchase the Abyss, what would be a good amp to start with?id like to stay in the $3-4k range. I love bass, while still enjoying nice mids, and good treble extension without being sibilant. More bass as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of the spectrum.

If I go this route, this will be my work desktop setup. Space doesn't matter, I have plenty. I work off of a laptop, otherwise my desk is empty.

it's been a long time since i auditioned the abyss. i liked its presentation overall. i think it might be wise to take this offline.

T-minus 15 hours until use.

Time for bed to make my five hour car journey home. Spent the 4th on Flathead Lake.

There is no other headphone like the Abyss, it's in a class of its own.
 
You can compare LCD to HEK to whatever, but you can't do the same with the Abyss - it's a different sound entirely. And if you love it, there's no choice but to buy it :¬)

Slowly trying to get the correct fit.

Congrats, DK!  I hope they live up to your expectations!!
 
Fit is a really, really tricky thing (at least I think so) with them.  It took me a solid week of just experimenting with the fit, angle, pad position, modified head support and so on until I was happy with the fit and sonics.

That is one fast decision
