20:20Abyss Diana V2 _(Z Reviews)_ 😘Last of the Z E O S V I S I O N
The reviewer finds the Diana V2 to be a significant improvement over the original Diana, with much better comfort and a warmer, more enjoyable sound signature that sacrifices a small amount of detail for musicality. They describe it as a 'perfect flawed headphone' that is more fun and engaging than the more analytical and expensive Diana Phi, and they highly recommend it for those who prioritize listening enjoyment over pure neutrality.

37:27AUDIO BLISS BY MOONLIGHT. ABYSS Diana V2 | THE REVIEW.
The reviewer praises the Abyss Diana V2 as a stunning, luxurious, and exceptionally comfortable planar headphone that has become his daily driver. He highlights its beautiful dark sound signature with excellent tonal balance, detailed bass, and engaging midrange, though he notes it lacks the visceral sub-bass slam of some competitors and has some ergonomic caveats. Overall, he considers it a top-tier flagship that delivers on its premium price, with minor drawbacks in pad adjustability and cable compatibility.
