A$4,000 is ambitious for a used Abyss DIANA MR, sitting well above the median used price of A$3,115 and the 75th percentile of A$3,164 from our recent AUD comps. With new retail hovering around A$4,299, this listing offers only a modest discount for used condition, making it a fair-but-not-compelling deal unless the unit is pristine or includes extras.
The DIANA MR remains a top-tier planar magnetic headphone celebrated for its extreme resolution, lightning-fast transient response, and surprisingly portable-friendly ergonomics despite its size. It’s the fifth-generation refinement of the legendary Diana lineage, offering home and portable versatility without the TC’s price tag. If this is original-owner gear in clean condition with the case and cable, it’s still a solid opportunity for a serious listener, but don’t expect bargain energy at A$4,000.
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.
