Their most advanced headphone yet – The Audeze CRBN2 Electrostatic Headphones – which pairs second-generation carbon-nanotube electrostatic drivers with another new breakthrough technology. Experience the most powerful, tactile bass response of any electrostatic headphone, and vividly holographic spatial imaging. Each CRBN2 is hand-assembled and tested in California by electrostatic specialists, finished to the utmost standards.

SLAM TECHNOLOGY

Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator — Tuned to enhance bass frequencies and lower distortion – Maintains optimal pressure distribution on the diaphragm – Patent pending. SLAM gives CRBN2 the most life-like physical bass of any electrostatic headphone, with natural detail presentation and immersive stereo imaging.

LUXURIOUSLY BUILT

CRBN2 is engineered from materials of the highest quality: magnesium, carbon fiber, premium leather, stainless steel, and polymer acetate.

HIGH VOLTAGE

CRBN2 requires an amplifier with electrostatic output using 580 V DC bias, also known as “Stax Pro Bias.” A number of suitable amplifiers on the market from a variety of brands will drive CRBN2 well, click here for more details.

HERITAGE OF INNOVATION

CRBN2 is based on a project to produce headphones for use in MRI machines, between Audeze and a team from UCLA School of Medicine. Due to the powerful magnetic fields of an MRI, the headphone could not use ferrous metals, so researchers developed the carbon nanotube film electrostatic driver.
