Groundbreaking sound technology

The core of the Audeze CRBN Electrostatic Open-Back Headphones' excellence lies in its groundbreaking carbon nanotube technology. Unlike conventional electrostatic headphones, the CRBN's diaphragm isn't coated. Instead, it incorporates carbon nanotubes suspended within the film, ensuring an even distribution of charge across the entire surface.

This unique approach significantly minimises distortion while enhancing clarity, resolution, and transparency of sound. It's a leap forward in headphone technology, offering audio enthusiasts a listening experience that's as close to the original recording as possible.

Unparalleled comfort for long listening sessions

Comfort is paramount when it comes to headphones, and the Audeze CRBN delivers in spades. The design prioritizes a lightweight structure without sacrificing durability, utilizing magnesium and carbon fibre to reduce weight to a mere 470 grams. The earpads are crafted to be extra plush and slightly oversized, providing a perfect seal and pillow-soft support that cradles the head, ensuring that long listening sessions remain a pleasure, not a pain.

Luxury meets functionality

Every aspect of the Audeze CRBN headphones exudes luxury, from the elegantly curved grill to the polished marbled graphite acetate rings. Attention to detail is evident in the hand-stitched premium leather and the tactile satisfaction of the machined aluminium 5-pin connector. However, this elegant design is not just for show; it complements the headphones' functional prowess, marrying form with function in a way that enhances the overall listening experience.

Seamless amplifier integration

Compatibility concerns can detract from the enjoyment of high-end audio equipment, but the Audeze CRBN ensures this is never an issue. Designed to work seamlessly with 580 Volt Pro Bias amplifiers, including models from industry leaders like Woo Audio and Stax, these headphones feature a standard 5-pin barrel connector. This thoughtful design choice guarantees that users can easily integrate the CRBN with their existing setups, ensuring a hassle-free, exceptional listening experience right out of the box.
