The Abyss Diana MRx is a premium bass reference over-ear headphone, available in Forged Carbon, Vegan, and Sapele Wood finishes with multiple cable and connector options. It is a wired, open-back headphone designed for high-fidelity audio reproduction.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Abyss Diana V3 MR is a premium wired over-ear headphone featuring a 63mm planar magnetic driver, delivering a smooth, transparent, and well-balanced sound with strong detail and immersive imaging. It offers a fuller, more accessible tuning compared to earlier Diana models, though it still benefits from a capable amplifier despite its moderate 30-ohm impedance. Build quality is high, but comfort is only average due to limited padding, and the proprietary cable may be a consideration for some users.

What works

  • Smooth, balanced, and engaging sound signature
  • Strong treble extension and immersive imaging
  • Powerful bass and rich mids for a complete presentation
  • Detachable cable and multiple finish/pad options
  • Easier to drive than many high-end Abyss models

What doesn't

  • Comfort is average; padding could be more generous
  • Requires a capable source for optimal performance
  • Proprietary cable limits aftermarket options
  • High price point may not suit all budgets

They also note that comfort could be improved with more padding, and the headphone still needs a capable source despite being easier to drive than some higher-end Abyss models.

The reviewer describes the Diana MR as a refined version of the original Diana, built around a 63 mm planar driver and a 30 ohm load. They highlight the available finish and pad options, and the overall presentation suggests a high-end headphone with multiple configuration choices rather than a one-size-fits-all product.
