Audeze CRBN2 Electrostatic Headphones - Case, NO amplifier

The Ultimate Audiophile Experience. Transparent, Powerful, Uncompromising.

CRBN² represents the peak of Audeze’s headphone engineering: a push-pull electrostatic design using a second-generation carbon-nanotube embedded driver film and SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology for enhanced bass and ultra-low distortion. With magnesium, carbon-fiber and leather finishes, and hand-assembly in California, the CRBN² is built for listeners who demand nothing but the very highest levels of fidelity, resolution, and acoustic realism. Dive into soundscapes with unprecedented clarity, dynamic depth, and spatial precision.

Why Audiophiles Choose This Headphone

Electrostatic clarity with physical power

The CRBN² combines electrostatic speed and resolution with SLAM-enhanced bass that rival the heft of planars, delivering deep, authoritative low-end along with holographic imaging and transparent mids. Professional reviews highlight its depth, layering and overall sonic presence. 

Cutting-edge driver and acoustic engineering

Featuring an ultra-thin polyimide diaphragm infused with carbon nanotubes, and a large 120 mm × 90 mm transducer size, the CRBN² achieves ultra-low distortion (<0.1% THD) and a maximum SPL of over 120 dB. 

Luxury build & refined finishes

Constructed from magnesium, stainless steel, polymer acetate, and premium leather head-and-ear-pads, the CRBN² delivers craftsmanship that matches its sound. Every unit is hand-assembled and quality-tested in California. 

Reference-grade soundstage and spatial realism

The open-back electrostatic design presents a wide, three-dimensional soundstage with precise imaging and lifelike layering. Instruments and voices float with natural presence—ideal for critical listening and immersive experience.

Comfort Notes

Despite its advanced build, the CRBN² maintains a comfortable fit via its suspension headband, premium leather pads and well-balanced weight (≈ 480 g). The materials and build quality ensure it remains comfortable during extended listening sessions.

Versatility Notes

The CRBN² is a serious investment and demands equally serious support. It requires a dedicated electrostatic amplifier supporting 580 V DC bias (Stax Pro Bias) for proper operation. 

Ideal for: high-end audiophile rigs, reference listening, mastering environments, luxury dedicated systems.

Ensure your amplification and wiring match the specification for best performance.
