General:
The Abyss JAOL are high-performance planar magnetic headphones engineered, machined, finished, assembled, and tested in Buffalo, New York.

If you're unfamiliar with how planar magnetic headphones sound, think of the transparency and speed of a pair of Magnepans - but sitting directly on your ears!

Key features include a beautifully braided stock cable that feels incredibly high-quality, Abyss patented 63mm planar speaker drivers, pillow-top ultrasuede ear pads, and a CNC-machined metal chassis.

JOEL stands for Jack Of All Listening, and we would have to agree with that description. We found they offer a clear presentation, with good bass extension. They definitely deliver the signature planar magnetic detail without sounding harsh.

Being made right here in New York really makes these headphones a true rarity in today's market

Included with the headphones are the original case, stock cable, and a brand-new Heart Audio 4.4mm female to 3.5mm standard male adapter so you can plug them into most devices.

SkyFi Technical Notes:
