Heritage & History
JPS Labs, a long-established Buffalo, New York audio cable manufacturer, launched the Abyss brand in 2012 with the AB-1266 — a flagship planar magnetic headphone built entirely in their Buffalo facility. The approach was straightforward: apply the same precision engineering standards used in high-end audio cables to headphone construction, manufacturing everything in-house rather than sourcing from overseas component suppliers.
The Abyss name quickly earned recognition among audiophiles as representing genuinely reference-grade performance, with the AB-1266 and its successors appearing on best-of lists alongside headphones from European luxury brands. The difference is that Abyss builds its headphones in Buffalo, New York, maintaining American manufacturing as the company grows into one of the most respected names in high-end headphones.
Made in Buffalo, New York
Every Abyss headphone is CNC machined, finished, and hand assembled in Buffalo, New York using American-made stainless steel hardware. The aluminum frame components — yokes, cups, and adjustment mechanisms — are machined from billet aluminum in-house, giving Abyss direct control over tolerances that directly affect driver alignment and sound quality. Lambskin leather pads and custom cable terminations are selected and assembled by the Buffalo team.
The AB-1266 Phi TC uses patented planar magnetic drivers that require precise manufacturing tolerances to achieve the wide frequency response and low distortion that characterize reference headphones. The Diana line, launched in 2018, brings the same planar magnetic technology into a more portable package while maintaining full Buffalo manufacturing. For buyers seeking the finest American-made headphones regardless of price, Abyss represents the domestic audiophile pinnacle.
