Among a plethora of improvements over the original CRBN, the CRBN² features Audeze's all new patent-pending SLAM technology, resulting with the CRBN² having the most powerful bass of any electrostatic headphone on the market today.

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 Audezes second-generation carbon-nanotube electrostatic driver, engineered to produce lifelike bass and crystal-clear sound with minimal distortion.

The CRBN2s design also prioritizes comfort and luxury. Hand-assembled in California, the headphones feature plush leather earpads 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, making them versatile for various high-end setups.

Originally developed for MRI machines, Audezes 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.
