faster and more dynamic
it will perform better on a good amp
spacious sound and delicious tonality

the least bit fatiguing to wear for extended periods of time

it now becomes very difficult to settle for anything less

quite expensive

never seen such a wide range of offerings
slightly thicker angled pads
the new lighter color grain of wood does not match the headband coloring
Spectrogram shows a minor ringing of the driver in the sub-bass

No side-pressure was applied on the earcups
Bass
however
is not as tight as found in the Ragnarok
No one part of the sound spectrum sounded pronounced or deficient over another
imaging didn t seem quite as big
beveled ear pads are thicker with a more pronounced angle to the bevel

the highs are being rolled off in order smooth off the edges
lack a bit of immersion and captivation through a distant sounding sonic presentation
slight graininess in upper mids to lower highs
somewhat frustrating twisty connections used by prior
Audeze LCD-2 was pretty rough
sound terrible from these devices
the Abyss almost seems a little unbalanced in comparison
poor room acoustics and no ability to correct
