Audeze CRBN2 Electrostatic Headphone with Case

Audeze CRBN2 Electrostatic Reference Headphones

Audeze CRBN2 Electrostatic Reference Headphones represent a breakthrough in electrostatic audio technology, engineered to deliver exceptional resolution, ultra-low distortion, and the most powerful bass response ever achieved in an electrostatic design. Developed through advanced research collaborations, these headphones are built for audiophiles and professionals seeking extreme precision and realism.

At the core of the CRBN2 is a second-generation carbon-nanotube embedded electrostatic driver system. This advanced diaphragm design allows precise control of electrostatic forces across the entire surface, resulting in highly accurate sound reproduction with improved transient response and reduced distortion. The large 120 mm × 90 mm driver delivers expansive frequency coverage from 20 Hz to 40 kHz with remarkable clarity.

The inclusion of SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology enhances low-frequency performance, providing a more physical and tactile bass response than traditional electrostatic headphones. This system also improves spatial imaging and reduces noise, resulting in a more immersive and natural listening experience.

CRBN2 features ultra-thin metal stators that ensure uniform diaphragm movement and improved dynamics. The metal-free diaphragm structure eliminates magnetic interference, allowing for clean, distortion-free sound reproduction and highly accurate stereo imaging with a wide, holographic soundstage.

The build quality combines premium materials including magnesium, carbon fiber, stainless steel, polymer acetate, and hand-stitched leather. The design ensures durability while maintaining a lightweight feel, making it more comfortable than most electrostatic headphones in its category.

The ergonomic headband and thick memory foam earpads provide long-term comfort and a secure fit, while precisely engineered airflow grills enhance acoustic performance.

CRBN2 requires a dedicated electrostatic amplifier with 580V Pro Bias support and is compatible with high-end energizers and amplifiers designed for electrostatic headphones. A detachable oxygen-free copper cable with a 5-pin Pro Bias connector is included for reliable signal transfer.

Each unit is hand-assembled and tested in the USA and comes with a premium aluminum carrying case for protection and portability.
