High-Quality Materials for Optimum Comfort
The latest Ceramic Coated version sports a high-tech, durable two-tone polymer ceramic coating on the all-metal frame along with newly designed ear pads for greater comfort and improved sound quality.
The Abyss AB1266 Phi TC refines the sonic virtues of Abyss’ finest headphones with excellent transparency to the source and hard-hitting low-frequency impact and resolution. The sound of these headphones easily compares to and, in many areas, exceeds the finest two-channel audiophile systems money can buy. More importantly, the AB-1266 Phi will be preserved in history as one of the finest headphones ever produced.
The chassis features left/right side frames and an adjustable two-piece headband. No plastic parts to break – all components are machined from solid aluminum for exceptional strength. Integrated resonance control for minimal added coloration. High-quality finishes, polished metal accents, hand-brushed artistic touches.
Patented planar magnetic transducer design utilizing Abyss’ very thin, very low mass diaphragm. Effortless dynamics and low level detail retrieval in the bass, mids, and highs with spacious sound outside of your head. A front row listening experience with stunning bass impact no other headphone can provide, like the finest loudspeakers in a private room.

Those who know us, know that we are very big fans of Abyss headphones. A brand that starts at almost 4,000 EUR Fouls rightly be considered obscene, but we love the deliberately non-mainstream nature of the Skubinsky family. They know everything better (they really do!) and they are absolutely uncompromising. The result is the best headphones in the world, and the 1266 TC is the crowning glory. It does everything perfectly. Period. It just need plenty of power, but then … buckle up. Then it starts, the roller coaster ride. The big one!
