Bit creepy. I prefer when people only know they are on the same planet as me. Alpha Century 6 in the Galco system.
Here is a cat picture to prevent any silence of the lambs shit from happening.
EDIT:: No she is not holding down a boner. pffft

They already know about most of that stuff. They wanted to do something super high end. A āmind-blowing experienceā so to speak so that was my best shot.

Pretty true, I just wish they would focus on the right stuff in their budget videos lol
Beyers are monitoring headphones lol. I own a marketing company. I agreed to work with abyss because I strongly believe in their products.

I think we can agree that the 880 600 ohm is pretty sweet and does not look out of place next to abyss stuff lol
I try very hard to separate my work with Abyss from my reviews to avoid bias and I try to be as transparent as possible. That being said Abyss has never tried to capitalize on my audience or influence. Instead they want help building a separate audience of their own (something Iāll be working MUCH more on in January with an audio-industry podcast on their channel). Also right on point, my marketing company is my profession and youtube is my hobby. Lifeās all about balance right?

I hear that. This gave me a good window into their world and I REALLY hope to make a budget oriented video with them in the future.

880=work abyss=pleasure. That said I work a LOT and the 880 are the perfect workhorse for my office.

Even though I have higher end headphones I use for mastering, I still end up grabbing the 880 sometimes if I feel I will be the most comfortable with it for the job. Just really used to them and thereās really not anything to complain about with them for me
lol you found my momās channel. Love that

Out of curiosity what do you use for mastering? Also with what genre/daw/outboard processing?

Imma dm them to you since I canāt reveal the secrets (how can I not spell this word) 
For headphones, I use the D8000 pro, the clear pro, the adx5000, and the Warwick Aperio in main rotation. Then I demo on all the other stuff I have along with a fair amount of consumer gear and stuffs. Along with my main studio speakers
I use mainly 3 daws for mastering (that I also use for vst hosting sometimes lol), that being steinberg wavelab, steinberg cubase, and magix sequoia depending on the project
Will send you the rackmount stuff I have

DMS: while you are here could we get some clarity on the HiFi Guides app? I suspect itās something that you program in rare moments when you have free time. There seems to be a lot more that could be done to flesh it out. And I suspect there are a lot of untapped resources available on this forum if that would be of use. Whether grunt work on assembling product fact and specs or perhaps even actual coding.

Their budget roundup videos tend to do quite well. So Iād be surprised if they had no interest in doing one. Maybe Linus just doesnāt realize how good the budget class audiophile stuff has become.
Well he probably doesnāt want to get into something that subjective perhaps. With his ultra cheap stuff you really canāt complain or criticize stuff at that price, but a mid range headphone roundup could have the change to receive alot of criticize. But tbh who knows.
Iād suggest not wearing a competitor product during a shoot for another product (especially if youāre being paid). You probably donāt need to be wearing monitors in front of the camera as youāll be checking all levels after filming as well.
I think itās a good gig for you. Abyss is a highly regarded product, and I wish you luck on your future endeavors with them.

When you are recording, it can be very beneficial to monitor yourself so you maintain a constant speaking level, make sure you are in the right place of the recording, make sure you are being picked up properly, and also make sure your gear isnāt freaking out. But yes, you donāt need to.
It also diminishes the look of production value. The better filmed/recorded content creators seldom wear monitoring headphones in front of the camera. Unless you PewDiePie of course. But thatās his shctick.
I mean I guess, but personally I donāt think so. Although I would never put myself in front of a camera in the first place so I guess Iām most likely the wrong person to comment on this lol
