Be aware that these Chinese Abyss headphones from Taobao and Aliexpress are very likely reverse engineered copies/fakes/counterfeits (altough quite nice), as they were sold in high numbers and the real ones are made in the USA. Still, they are probably good headphones as mentioned here and on Reddit, for instance. I even considered buying one myself to see how they sound.
Viimeksi muokattu:
There is a possibility that this is true, but I cannot prove or disprove it. I can only warn potential buyers about their origin (which I have done) and hope the buyer is a reasonable person as well. If someone nearby has "100% original from the US" Dianas, we could arrange a comparison, if they’re interested--just for the sake of curiosity.
Honestly, they don’t sound bad, which is why I doubt they’re simple cash grabs. They might even be preproduction or refurbished units--the seller only had a few in stock when I bought them, and they were gone shortly after.
Anyway, some people say they sound identical, while others rate them at 90–95% as good. For this price (especially in comparison), I think they’re a very good option to consider. I’m also selling them at a slight loss--so I doubt there will be a cheaper way to experience this model and Abyss’s signature sound in general. They’re also in pretty much like-new condition.
I’m planning to buy an electrostatic setup in the future, so investing in another good amp for planars to pair well with their sound isn’t an ideal option for me. Given their neutral-bright sound signature (which is not ideal for my liking, quite the opposite), I’d rather not keep another pair of headphones gathering dust on the shelf--just for the sake of owning ‘one more pair of expensive headphones.’
Forgot to mention that I may consider trading them for Arya Organic with extra payment if anybody is interested.
Judging by the reviews, they might work well after some modifications or EQ tuning, although they’ll probably still have the same bright-ish sound… most likely a sidegrade, but oh well, at least they’re much easier to drive.

I found the extra (stock pads)!
Also, I've decided to sell them for 699€ instead, since I'm currently in a remote location and I doubt many people here are interested in high-end audio.
I'm not in a hurry and don't want to sell them below that price because they are impossible to find now. Plus, they're already a good and fair deal (especially in comparison), and I'm selling them at a loss.
P.S. I won't be checking the forum often, so feel free to PM me or reply here to ensure I receive an email notification.

Coming to Helsinki tomorrow, might as well pick them up with me.
One more thing - some people with experience recently compared the Abyss AB1266 to one of the variants from AliExpress, and they found that the sound quality was basically 99% identical.
So hurry up while you still can snatch this unit at a huge discount vs. the original MSRP!

Just a reminder: the headphones can be picked up in different cities by agreement, including Helsinki.
In theory, I can also ship them.
If there are no buyers right now (there are two potential ones), I’ll most likely send the headphones abroad at the end of the month.
I'm also no longer looking to trade them, as I'm selling my entire collection and keeping only the two most relevant to me.
I will be able to demonstrate that they work properly on my DAP, although it is not powerful enough even via balanced. So once again, it is better to use R2R/tubes and a high-class power amp to truly explore what they can do (preferably to avoid something sterile like Topping flagship products).
