They say three’s a charm. Meet Diana TC, the latest version in the evolution of the world’s thinnest boutique planar headphone by ABYSS.
Our Take
The Diana TC offers impressive bass dynamics and an open soundstage, hallmarks of the Abyss sound.
Our Take
The ABYSS Diana TC headphones take the driver technology from the flagship AB-1266 Phi, and puts it in a smaller, lighter, more casual form factor. We recommend it paired with our GS-X Mini amplifier and the Chord Qutest DAC for an incredible audio system.
The DIANA headphones were launched in early 2018 as a luxury line touted as the world’s thinnest boutique headphone. It has since changed longstanding perceptions of headphone physics by easily comparing to and in many cases besting the highest performance headphones. World-class sound in a compact portable package. ABYSS has since worked toward furthering this success, producing this third higher performance TC version that’s ‘bigger on the inside’ by incorporating the Phi planar speakers from their flagship AB-1266 Phi CC, the headphone on the tip of any connoisseur’s tongue when asked; ‘What’s the best’?
The new DIANA TC headphone has world-class dynamics, resolution, and refinement to sound never before heard in such a compact package. As with any ABYSS, she’s quite capable of playing any genre of music to an extreme level of enjoyment, limited only by the electronics and recording. The goosebump inducing ‘you are there’ sound is to die for especially when combined with her ‘bigger on the inside’ huge sound, bass depth and speed second only to her big brother, wide soundstage with impeccable tonal balance, voices so real you feel they are with you. Diana TC; plays her heart out for you every time you wear her.
