Does anyone know how long the 1266 repair's turnover time is at JPS labs? I sent it to them to evaluate/repair last week and haven't heard anything since. Do they email you for notification before they ship your headphone back?
I think Abyss might start putting a variety of o-rings with the new headband. I assume they didn't anticipate the issues people are having. It would cost very little and probably save money by not having to address the issue over and over. I am sure they will comment soon on what they plan to do.
Not all of us live in the USA, nor know O ring sizes by heart. I'll pay a visit to my local hardware store tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get it sorted out. My suggestion of including multiple sizes was meant to save others this hassle. Btw, not sure we need to bring JC into this.

I'm very happy with my Abyss. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't expect a little extra when buying a $5000 headphone or $199 headband. As far as your attitude towards those who ask for the extra, I think it speaks volumes as to the type of person who expresses it. Civility costs nothing. Hostility costs us all.

I don't disagree. However, the issue is one of wear and break-in and thus thorough time. I don't even think JPS gave sufficient time for QC, er, sufficient stretch.
The fix is simple enough you don't have to drag the conversation on and on.
Oh, how the world must be difficult for those whom can't handle a few brash words.

Costs nothing for Abyss to toss in a few different O-rings, now that they know what their customers are going through in the real world. This is feedback for Abyss IMO. It's what the forums are for, among other things.

Agreed the new design is definitely better. The old headband fits me just right. However when it needs to be replaced I will happily buy the new one. And I have o-ring kits with every size I might ever need. Didn’t buy them for a headphone but an added bonus I guess.
