Over Ear Headphones - Abyss
Over ear headphones sit over the ear and are designed to be comfortable while effectively blocking out more external noise than on-ear headphones or in-ear headphones. They generally aren't as portable as the on-ear or in-ear types, but what they lack in portability they more than make up for in sound quality as most of the finest sounding headphones available are over-ear models. Over-ear headphone models are generally designed to be used as hi-fi headphones in a home or desk environment.
Preference on comfort between on-ear and over-ear headphones generally comes down to personal preference, but we've found in most cases that over-ear models are more suitable and comfortable for listening at home or at your desk and on-ear models are more comfortable and suitable for listening to music on the move.
Either way, we pride ourselves on being headphones experts and in providing our expertise to offer top-class customer service and help you make your choice. For further advice, call or email us now.
Abyss created what many believe to be the best sounding headphones in the world; the AB-1266. Now you can discover them for yourself. Simply arrange a visit to our showroom and "enter the Abyss" with a demo these prestigious headphones.
Established in 1990 and part of JPS Labs, manufacturers of high end hi-fi cables, the extensive research and development department of Abyss have concentrated their energies in the field of headphones and to this end have produced some spectacular results. By focusing on material science and energy propagation, Abyss have engineered a method of producing the highest possible resolution wave of analogue sound, without any unwanted distortions, delivered straight to the ears. Therefore, Abyss have perfected a method to hear the very essence of the original sound source.
The Abyss headphones AB-1266 completely floored us when we first heard them, and considering that we are very familiar with other high end headphones, like Sennheiser HD800, Grado PS1000e, Oppo PM-1 and HiFi Man HE-1000, we were pleasantly surprised by the performance of these headphones. To get the most out of Abyss headphones you will need a powerful headphone amplifier when properly set-up, there is really nothing comparable. Previously, Abyss headphones AB-1266 were only available as a "Deluxe" package, Abyss released the "Lite" package more recently making the headphones available without the leather case and stand.
