Audeze CRBN2 Electrostatic Headphones Key Features: 

  • SLAM technology gives the most powerful bass of any electrostatic
  • Lower distortion improves spatial imaging and detail presentation
  • 2nd Generation Carbon Nanotube Electrostatic Driver
  • Premium materials for luxurious long-term comfort
  • Compatible with all 580-volt bias electrostatic amplifiers

Product Description: 

Advancing the limits of electrostatic audio innovation, this patented carbon nanotube-embedded driver film is engineered entirely in-house. This precise manufacturing process enables meticulous control over the electrostatic force across the driver, achieving exceptionally accurate and transparent sound reproduction.

SLAM Technology

The CRBN² headphone showcases cutting-edge innovation with its Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator (SLAM)—a patent-pending design tuned to reinforce bass frequencies while reducing distortion. By maintaining balanced pressure across the diaphragm, SLAM delivers the most lifelike, physical bass response of any electrostatic headphone, along with naturally detailed sound and immersive stereo imaging.

Constructed from a curated blend of premium materials—including magnesium, carbon fiber, stainless steel, premium leather, and polymer acetate—CRBN² is built for both performance and durability. Each unit is meticulously hand-assembled and tested in California by electrostatic audio specialists, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship and precision.

At its core, CRBN² features a proprietary carbon nanotube electrostatic driver, a breakthrough born from a collaboration between Audeze and UCLA’s School of Medicine. Originally developed for MRI use—where traditional ferrous components were prohibited—this film-based driver now powers one of the most transparent and dynamic headphone experiences available.

Designed for use with electrostatic amplifiers featuring a 580VDC “Stax Pro Bias” output, CRBN² pairs effortlessly with a wide range of compatible systems, ready to deliver uncompromising sound for the most discerning listeners.
