Meet Diana DZ, the latest in the evolution of the Diana series of ABYSS Headphones.
The new flagship of the Diana series
The ABYSS Diana DZ is the most refined model in the acclaimed Diana lineup. A lightweight, precision CNC-machined aluminum chassis with a specially developed internal structure provides maximum rigidity and ideal acoustics for the newly developed DZ planar driver. At only 315 g without ear pads, it’s the lightest Diana ever, while the softly padded headband suspension ensures exceptional long-term comfort.
New 63 mm planar driver. The 63 mm ABYSS planar driver (50 Ω) delivers the highest resolution of any Diana model. Easy to drive from mobile devices, Diana DZ reveals its full potential with high-quality sources—whether tube or solid-state electronics.
Sound like a wide-open window. A large, airy soundstage, fine detail retrieval, and realistic imaging make music feel tangible. DZ scales with every upgrade in your chain and repeatedly rewards you with new sonic insights.
Materials & finishes. Choose from premium colors with exclusive inlays—New Zealand abalone or forged carbon. The high-tech polymer-ceramic coating provides a durable, elegant surface finish.
