State-of-the-art electrostatic technology.

Featuring the most advanced electrostatic technology in decades, Audeze is proud to introduce CRBN (pronounced "carbon") electrostatic headphones, which feature a new, patent-pending polymer film with suspended carbon nanotubes to eliminate problems commonly found in earphones. earlier electrostatic designs. Originally developed for medical MRI applications, we've adapted those innovations for the audiophile version of the CRBN, which has been called the best-sounding electrostatic headphone to date by top audio professionals.

Patent pending carbon nanotube film.

Works with all 580 volt Pro Bias amplifiers.

Precise low-frequency performance.

Excellent dynamic range.

Light and very comfortable

Designed with a purpose.

Audeze originally developed this new technology working with Prof. Mark S. Cohen Ph.D., of the UCLA School of Medicine, and his team, for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Typical ferrous metals couldn't be used, so we had to develop a new material, which led us to patent a special thin film with carbon nanotubes in suspension. This solves the problems related to film lamination and deposition.

Carbon nanotube technology.

The CRBN driver features a revolutionary ultra-thin diaphragm with carbon nanotubes suspended within the material. Because the load is distributed throughout the sheet, a uniform driving force is achieved which reduces distortion and improves clarity, resolution and transparency.

Supreme comfort.

The CRBN offers supreme comfort thanks to its lightweight construction. Weighing 300 grams, the minimalist design features materials like magnesium and carbon fiber that shed every gram while maintaining strength. The ear cushions are very soft and slightly oversized, allowing for a great seal and skull-hugging comfort.

Elegant design.

CRBN is the ultimate in luxury design, from the smooth curves of its uniquely engraved grill, to the depth of its finely polished acetate rings. With hand-stitched premium leather, every detail has been fine-tuned, right down to the feel of the 5-pin machined aluminum connector.

580 volt compatibility.

The CRBN is compatible with 580 volt "Stax Pro Bias" amps such as those from Woo Audio, Linear Tube Audio, Mjolnir Audio, Headamp, Stax (of course), and others. The cable is terminated with the industry standard 5-pin barrel connector for maximum compatibility.
