Description

Meet Diana DZ, the latest in the evolution of the Diana series of ABYSS Headphones.

Diana DZ offers lots of spatial information and depth like the big AB1266, and sounds great with both tube and solid state amps. DZ will drop right into your existing optimized headphone system and sing. Going forward, as your system evolves DZ will scale and reward you for the investment with dynamic life-like sound that's never boring, never annoying, just right.

Diana DZ sounds awesome on a big tube amp like the Woo Audio WA33 JPS Abyss Edition. Overall resolution directs your ears toward very subtle low level details and spatial cues within the large musical soundstage that tubes tend to accentuate. DZ won’t rip apart the recording and the system, it’s more about enjoying the content rather than analyzing it, sophisticated detail within the musical presentation.

Diana DZ is also lighter and more comfortable. This new model is built upon a lightweight machined aluminum frame with a highly engineered internal structure providing strength and acoustics to compliment the new Abyss DZ planar speaker driver. DZ is the lightest Abyss headphone ever produced.

New hybrid ear pads with soft Ultrasuede on the face side come stock, this combines with a further refined internal headband design and relaxed fitment, and the new sling headband completely eliminates top of head hot spots. In all, DZ is 99.9% compatible with any head shape, it’s one of the most comfortable headphones on the planet.

Diana DZ has beautiful imaging and realism to sound, like opening a large window to the music with a big soundstage and depth, recreating the space of live recordings and movie effects like no other. In essence DZ has a near limitless ability to scale with the best systems and content, and constantly rewards it’s owner with cool insights into your music.

Choose from a beautifully curated selection of color options with custom exotic inlays of New Zealand Abalone or Forged Carbon. Fit and finish is exceptional, beautiful timeless designs made to look great on your head and built to last a lifetime.
