Abyss JOAL Performance Headphone (Open Box)

Every track is a Master! JOAL’s ability to extract very subtle audible cues from music and movies and recreate the space of the original recoding is uncanny. It’s like having the master tape for every song; any vintage, any genre. Huge open soundstage with depth and layering, hearing the space around each instrument and singer is so fun.

The ABYSS JOAL cable comes with the popular 4.4 mm connector. If your amplifier requires a different connector, choose an additional matching adaptor.
