Abyss Headphones
Sponsor: Abyss Headphones
That’s pretty much the look of the new headbands. The final version will be slightly wider and will have ABYSS embossed on the leather, will begin shipping with new headphones next week. These headbands are hand-made in small batches on this side of the planet, going to be a month or so before we have any to sell separately. They are available to order. And yes they allow for easy replacement of the stretch rings, and are more comfortable.
We engineer, machine, and build our headphones from scratch in New York, USA.
Stay updated on ABYSS Headphones at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

Here you go. Great craftsmanship and it’s very comfortable
Cool, I'm guessing mine will have this new headband. Here's hoping.

Dude. They are using new headbands now. Those look like they screw on/off
Kinda miss that funky Abyss logo though...
Oh, man, why not have the Abyss logo on the new headband? I *LOVE* the Abyss logo on my headband!

So the new logo will be EMBOSSED. That's pretty cool. Please stick with the 80s heavy metal style Abyss logo! I absolutely love that

Ha, would solve the issue if they made custom headbands too. I am inclined to the logo right now. But again, to quote you....To each their own, but I think the black headband looks excellent.
I think the huge white Abyss stitched logo on the headband is sure ugly.
I mean, just how many Abyss logos do you need on the 1266?

I definitely like it better without the big cheesy Abyss logo.

Almost 24h with the TC’s and I couldn’t almost take them off my head - just for the picture
It’s still very early for an informed review but straight from the box I feel they are indeed in a different league, every music, every genre, all sound as it should, amazing, non fatiguing sound. I’m truly astonished!
I’m also glad I have bought the stand along with them from Headphone Auditions. I was a bit reluctant but It’s simply perfect to keep them safe and ready to put on
Now, back to the music!

I can easily understand your enjoyment my friend. Congratulations for the Abyss and welcome to the Abyss-mania. I had the stand too and I confirm that it's a great addition from Stefan. Did you give the SuperConductor a try? It takes the Abyss to a next level. As of the new headband, it's nice Joe took Head-fiers feedbacks into consideration and now offers a more comfortable headband. Can you share its dimensions to appreciate the differences with the previous one?Almost 24h with the TC’s and I couldn’t almost take them off my head - just for the picture
