Audeze CRBN2 Open-Back Electrostatic Headphones

CBRN2 Open-Back, Over-Ear Electrostatic Headphones, by Audeze.

The Audeze CRBN2 represents a leap forward in electrostatic headphone technology, incorporating the new Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator (SLAM) technology.

This innovation enhances bass response and sound transparency, delivering a deeply immersive listening experience. At the heart of the CRBN2 is the second-generation carbon-nanotube electrostatic driver, engineered by Audeze to produce lifelike bass and crystal-clear sound with minimal distortion.

The CRBN2 design also delivers improved comfort and luxury. Hand-assembled in California, the headphones feature plush leather ear pads and a suspension headband for extended wear.

Weighing just 480 grams and free of heavy magnets, they ensure long-lasting comfort, ideal for audiophiles who indulge in hours of listening. These headphones also maintain compatibility with all 580-volt bias electrostatic amplifiers (STAX etc), making them versatile for various high-end setups.

Originally developed for MRI machines, Audeze carbon-nanotube technology was born from a collaboration with UCLA.

This innovation has been refined and enhanced for the CRBN2, offering superior accuracy and spatial imaging, allowing listeners to feel immersed in their favourite music. With a focus on both technological innovation and luxurious comfort, the CRBN2 stands out in the realm of premium electrostatic headphones.
