No, you didn't and I'm just generalizing - but I'm talking more about those that have said things like "I tried it at a show and don't get why people like it so much..."

Yea, not surprising, it takes a good 10 minutes just to fit it on the head properly.

For me, unless I wear this ridiculous looking beanie hat, I don't get the ideal fit. This is my Abyss hat, stays with the headphone and it's the only way I get perfect channel balance, even bass, the right amount of space between the pads and my face, and the headphones don't move around too much on it, so I can actually get into the music and move my head around without them falling off.

Just wonder do you have hair or are bald? Waiting for my abyss to come and I'm bald so hoping they will still fit OK 😆

Lol Abyss hat.. I love it!
I actually prefer listening with the 1266 whilst wearing a baseball cap.

hmmm, I never thought to try the TCs with a fleece beanie. it is simple and brilliant! I love bacon and the TCs.

I actually have to do a mea culpa because 'where is everybody ' by nin just sounded absolutely incredible with the abyss through tidal. Crystal clear highs, amazing soundstage, fantastic dynamics, and rock solid bass. Maybe there is hope for me...

Sounds like you and and your Abyss TC need to get to know each other a little better. It's OK, don't be shy, we won't tell anyone...
