About AUDEZE CRBN

From the pioneers of cutting-edge audio technology, Audeze, comes the CRBN Open Back Over-Ear Electrostatic Headphones, a revolutionary product that redefines the boundaries of sound quality. Utilizing the most advanced electrostatic technology in recent years, the CRBN (pronounced "carbon") headphones are equipped with a patent-pending polymer film embedded with suspended carbon nanotubes. This innovative design effectively eliminates the issues typically encountered in older electrostatic models.

Originally engineered for medical MRI applications in collaboration with Prof. Mark S. Cohen Ph.D., from UCLA School of Medicine, this groundbreaking technology has been repurposed to deliver an unparalleled audio experience. Top audio professionals have hailed the CRBN as the best sounding electrostatic headphone on the market.

The CRBN's driver boasts a revolutionary ultra-thin diaphragm with carbon nanotubes suspended within the material. This unique design allows for the charge to be evenly distributed across the film, resulting in a uniform driving force that significantly reduces distortion and enhances clarity, resolution, and transparency of sound.

Designed with a focus on supreme comfort, the CRBN headphones feature a lightweight construction, weighing in at just 300 grams. The minimalist design incorporates high-strength materials like magnesium and carbon fiber to maintain durability while reducing weight. The earpads are generously sized and exceptionally plush, providing a perfect seal and pillow-soft comfort for extended listening sessions.

The CRBN headphones are a testament to luxurious design, with smooth curves, finely polished acetate rings, and a uniquely etched grill. The hand-stitched premium leather and the tactile feel of the machined aluminum 5-pin connector add to the overall elegance and sophistication of the product.

For maximum compatibility, the CRBN headphones are designed to work with "Stax Pro Bias" 580 Volt amplifiers from leading brands such as Woo Audio, Linear Tube Audio, Mjolnir Audio, Headamp, and Stax. The cable is terminated with the industry-standard 5-pin barrel connector, ensuring seamless integration with your existing audio equipment. Experience the future of audio technology with the CRBN Open Back Over-Ear Electrostatic Headphones.
