Oh man.. it finally happened.. One of the rubber rings snapped.

Would a few rubber bands and a zip tie work?

How long have you had the abyss for??

You have a $5000 headphone. Get a new band. Why make it look like crap?

Or you could do this...

@lockjaw shared this ingenious headband mod for when the o-rings break.

About 6 to 7 months if I'm not wrong..

I know that, and yes I may well do that. Also a good excuse to order other stuff from jps...

But I do need a temporary fix in the meantime.

At least that’s only rubber that broke.

Did you happen to cut the rubber band? Let's know what's your remedy.

This will have to do until I can get a new headband. Several rubber bands and a zip tie did the trick.

How long did you have headphone for? It seems pretty sturdy from my standpoint and it bugs me a little that yours snapped.

I've had mine since 12/2017 but I never hang it by the the headband in my stand. Other than the upgrade to Phi and addon CC pads I've not had to replace the headband or earpads. I did hang on to the the original pads however.

Nice one

Is that still in play nowadays?

Is the headband not covered under warranty?

I don't know. I could never find any big enough.

I would think Abyss would be happy to warranty this, and I would certainly expect them to. I’m not in love with the rubber band design built into my Phis. At the very least, they should make them replaceable without needing to replace the entire leather strap.

Abyss is one of those companies where even if they did not warranty, customers may still buy their product because their headphone is just too amazing. With that said though, I would be pretty sad/dissapointed to know if Abyss would not warranty something like that when their headphone costs $5K retail. I think it depends on if the warranty running out or not? Let us know.
