I just heard about it and honestly surprised by the amount of heat Abyss is getting. Personally It's the best sounding headphone I own and don't really understand why Abyss is causing so many controversies in the community

It's been discussed quite extensively in the Diana thread:

And now on to another subject. Any subject. We could even talk about cats and BBQ like on the Schiit forum

I spent some time browsing through some of the threads. While I enjoy Abyss 1266 sounds, but they didn't handle it right from the PR perspective. Measurements and wirings are subjective preferences and debatable, but attacking customers/potential customers are not really a good outlook for the company's image.

Seems Buffalo wings would be more fitting.

But I'm still totally cool with talking controversial cables, graphy-chart-measurement-thingamajigs, drivers, warranties or anything else that has been beat to the death all the same.

What do some of you do to tame the treble bite of the abyss?
It generally doesn't have much trouble with most genres, I listen almost exclusively to electronic, and most of those recordings are rather amateur, so in combination with the TC slight bite of treble and peaks... It gets fatiguing rather quick.
Just looking for solutions

Lower the TC in you head, for me it works.

I find this works, as well as pushing the ear pads back further

There’s not a lot you ould do with poor recordings. If you try to fix the trouble with those recordings, you end up losing resolution and transparency.

What do you mean exactly?

What do you mean exactly?

Says for instance your ears are centered perfectly in the middle part of the ear cup, slodethe headphones back a little.

I also find that from the song of the song you may want to shift my headphones around until you get the sound you like.

Oddly enough I end up raising them getting my ears lower down in the pads to deal with harsh treble.
