The Abyss has proven to be a rock solid investment in sound. Especially complimentary to other flagships, rather than in competition.


I may be selling mine, which is a shame; their use has dropped drastically upon investing in a 2CH studio.

Headphones and Speakers serve different requirements

Abyss is my "selfish" headphone...coz I won't let any other one try it on (and screw up my perfect fit at the moment )

thats funny,my brother is coming to visit me and wants to try out my abyss...i told him no lol...i am working too hard to get the proper fit.....as far as ears not touching that would be completely impossible for me....

While using the headphone today, the band just broke. Looks like it got cut by the grove of the headphone. Shucks now I need a new one else it's unusable =\

No kidding. It's nothing to do with that - it's listening time.

@tassardar a drop of super glue is a semi permanent fix. Butt ends and hold for about 30 seconds, let sit at least and hour to cure, then reinstall. PM me if you want to order new.

This scenario is a conundrum...

The leather pad is stitched closed.. Therefor you cant just buy a new rubber ring.. There is no way to insert it without breaking the circle..

So the only solution is:

A) buy a replacement lambskin headband ($$$ ouch $$$)

B) pray that its covered by warranty

C) Industrial Glue. Hobby Lobby has alot. (Cheap. Effective. Less Waiting.)

best of luck

Hard to imagine that ring breaking like that. Mine seems quite secure hopefully this is a one off situation

 

[tassardar]

The set I got is less the a year old from a local retailer hmmm. Maybe I'll just retro fit something since changing the band if not covered by warranty is a little too expensive. Also I need a smaller band, the given one is too slack.

Suppose that's what happens when you play with the headband too much..

Haha. Can't leave it on the headphone stand attached . It's getting too stretched. So I only mount it when I use. Doesn't seem too happy about it and gave way

If you don't want to suspend the headphones off the headband, I have seen a few people hang them off the top frame instead like this:

that is very interesting and might actually make sense because there is no way the metal frame would be any worse off hanging it that way

 

[Beolab]

Yes that is my best solution to avoid the extension tear on the headband

 

[jlbrach]

I have now changed my method on the stand..no longer do i leave them suspended by the headband....seems a much better situation

 

[draytonklammer]

I just changed mine to that as well.
