The Abyss Diana headphones were launched in early 2018 and has since changed long-held perceptions of headphone physics by easily comparing to, and in many cases outperforming, the best-performing headphones. World-class sound in a compact, portable package.
Abyss has worked towards furthering this success, producing an even higher performance ‘Diana Phi’ version that’s ‘bigger on the inside’, by incorporating the Phi planar speakers from their flagship AB-1266 Phi CC.
The new Diana Phi headphone delivers world-class dynamics, resolution, and a refinement to sound unique to such a compact package. As with any Abyss headphone, Diana Phi is 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.
“Bigger on the inside” best describes these headphones’ huge sound, bass depth, and speed, second only to their ‘bigger brother’, the AB1266. A wide soundstage with impeccable tonal balance, and voices so real you feel they are with you. Diana Phi plays its heart out for you with every performance.
Excellent Design Using Planar Drivers
Each Diana is machined, finished, and carefully hand-assembled in New York using the finest materials, laser engraved with the signature model and serial number. As with any Abyss design, the lack of moving parts is very important the build and sound quality, to prevent squeaks and the need for repair.
Sculpted out of 1Kg of aircraft-grade aluminum, the Diana is transformed into a frame structure under 100g due to CNC machining. A high-tech hard polymer ceramic Titanium Gray finish adds style and elegance.
Large 63mm patent-pending Phi planar drivers with ultra-low mass diaphragms produce extremely fast bass impact and subtle lifelike details in the music. The open-back provides you with a sense of space and a ‘you-are-there’ realism, with the positive benefit of allowing you to still hear your surroundings while on the go.
Ultimate Comfort
The incredible strength and ultra-rigidity of the Diana are paired with soft, breathable leather and Italian Alcantara for ultimate comfort. Diana’s sliding headband design has been optimized over many months while observing the fit on hundreds of different people, making them adaptable to nearly any head shape.
Diana is equipped with an EMotion flexible magnetic headband that adjusts smoothly and cradles your head comfortably without pressure, while lambskin ear pads are contoured to cradle your ears. You’ll completely forget you are wearing headphones.

Diana Phi was the top of the Diana family for a long time. Certainly one of the 10 best headphones in the world. There was nothing wrong with it until the Diana TC came along, which is just a tad better.
