Overview

A revolution in electrostatic headphone design for unparalleled bass and spatial imaging.

The CRBN² electrostatic headphones are crafted with groundbreaking SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology, delivering a bass response that's both powerful and tactile, unlike any other electrostatic headphone. This innovation enhances bass frequencies while minimizing distortion, allowing for a natural, lifelike sound experience that immerses the listener in deep, clear audio. SLAM technology ensures optimal pressure distribution across the diaphragm, producing a precise, holographic spatial image with every note. With this patent-pending technology, CRBN² offers an unprecedented level of bass detail and stereo imaging, elevating every listening session.

Luxurious Materials for Premium Comfort and Durability

Designed for long listening sessions, CRBN² headphones feature top-tier materials, including magnesium, carbon fiber, stainless steel, premium leather, and polymer acetate. This luxurious blend not only looks elegant but also provides remarkable comfort and durability. Each element is selected for its lightweight and resilient properties, ensuring the headphones are comfortable to wear for extended periods while maintaining their pristine condition. With every use, CRBN²'s premium construction promises a lasting, indulgent listening experience that complements its high-end sound quality.

High-Voltage, High-Performance Compatibility

The CRBN² is designed to work seamlessly with 580-volt bias electrostatic amplifiers, commonly known as "Stax Pro Bias" amplifiers. This high-voltage requirement ensures the headphones can achieve their full potential in delivering rich, high-definition audio. Users can pair the CRBN² with a variety of electrostatic amplifiers on the market, allowing audiophiles to experience their favorite music with exceptional clarity and power. The CRBN²'s unique electrostatic drivers benefit significantly from these amplifiers, pushing the boundaries of what electrostatic headphones can deliver.

A Legacy of Innovation in Headphone Design

The CRBN² headphone is rooted in innovative research, originating from a collaborative project between Audeze and the UCLA School of Medicine. Designed initially for use in MRI environments, the headphone required a non-magnetic build due to the powerful magnetic fields involved. This necessity led to the development of Audeze's carbon nanotube film electrostatic driver, a design that enhances sound purity while maintaining safety. The CRBN² carries forward this legacy, bringing cutting-edge research and technology into a consumer-friendly model that showcases the potential of electrostatic audio.

Specifications Tailored for Superior Sound Quality

The CRBN² is an over-ear, open-back headphone featuring push-pull electrostatic drivers, with an impressive 120mm x 90mm transducer size and ultrathin polyimide diaphragm infused with carbon nanotubes. With a frequency response range of 10Hz to 40kHz, the CRBN² captures an extensive range of audio frequencies, producing sounds that are both deep and detailed. The headphones have a sensitivity of 100dB and can reach a maximum SPL of over 120dB with less than 0.1% THD, ensuring crisp, clear playback even at high volumes. Complete with a 2.5m OCC monocrystal copper cable and enclosed in a premium aluminum travel case, the CRBN² promises a professional, high-performance listening experience wherever you go.
