Condition is unknown, so at €999 this sits exactly on the local benchmark: it matches the median of the recent comparable EUR listings, with the 25th and 75th percentiles also both at €999. That makes it a fair ask, not a bargain and not an ambitious price.
For a buyer, the appeal is that this is a well-regarded planar magnetic flagship-style headphone with a reputation for speed, detail, and very open, high-resolution presentation, especially if you already have a capable chain to drive it properly.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Abyss Headphones emerged from the innovative mind of Joe Skubinski, founder of high-end cable maker JPS Labs in 1990. Drawing on his expertise in signal integrity, Skubinski launched Abyss in Buffalo, New York, USA, with the debut of the AB-1266 in the early 2010s. This pioneering planar magnetic headphone featured a distinctive large rectangular frame and strict in-house manufacturing control, allowing relentless refinement of designs from their New York facility.
The brand focuses exclusively on luxury headphones, leveraging patented planar magnetic technology for exceptional clarity, soundstage, and minimal distortion. Iconic models include the flagship AB-1266 Phi TC, the more compact Diana series, and the recent JOAL addition in 2024. Crafted with premium materials like solid aluminum frames, lambskin leather, and Italian Alcantara, Abyss prioritizes precision engineering over ancillary products such as amplifiers or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end boutique market, Abyss commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for redefining personal audio boundaries. Handmade in the USA with uncompromising quality, their headphones deliver coherent, distortion-free performance that justifies premium pricing, earning a reputation as the pinnacle of luxury hi-fi listening.
