wouldn't call the bass very strong anyways. fact is that david1961 won't know how the bass sounds or how detailed and transparent it is unless he tries it himself and that's clearly not gonna happen.

OK , when I get the opportunity I'll give the abyss a try, then I'll know for sure how it compares to the 009's.
Don't expect me to post any photos of me wearing them though.

might be for the best but seriously what have you got to lose by giving it a listen?

Indeed!

I'll do that, but I'll have to rely on my friend taking me to the place he got to hear them because after a serious motorcycle accident I no longer drive.

Maybe we are missing something here. The design of the Abyss seems to be very focused on utility, as some have mentioned its ability to conform to a required shape, but there is the aspect that creating something very polarizing through aesthetics generates market awareness and drives conversations like the one currently in this thread. Personally I see this as a calculated decision and I feel it was a smart one.

K1000,Jecklin Float... It's hard to forget a Frankenstein.

Edit: To add to that, I'm here for the music and if the Abyss delivers $6k worth of sonics I'm in irrespective of its tortured aesthetics.

Sorry to hear that. But do have a listen. Between the SR09 and the Abyss, I frankly feel that they are complementary in their sigs. Which is why the SR09 is in my sights.

Heheh! Well said! Go and have a listen and see/hear what all the fuss is about.

sorry to hear that man. do you still have your helmet? maybe you can put it on over the abyss to avoid embarrassment.

Absolutely! I look forward to giving it a go.

Has anyone tried it with the Master 9?

You forgot the TakeT H2+
Fwiw, I'm a fan of the TakeT and the Abyss' sound. K1000, not so much. Never tried the Freckin Float before though.

Helmet + Abyss = FrankenStig!!
Wonder how fast the Abyss will lap the Top Gear track.

Thanks Kurochin, you just shot my point down in flames.

The accident I had was 18 years ago to which I've not fully recovered from, and probably never will.
I had to get rid of the helmet because it couldn't be used anymore, I owe a lot to that helmet because apparently it saved my life, it was an Arai.
 
Luckily my hearing wasn't damaged which is why I'm able to use headphones which gives me a lot of enjoyment.

I see. All I will say is we still have the ability to enjoy music and let's use it.
