Audeze
CRBN Electrostatic Headphones
Product Description
Forging ahead with many years of research and development in thin-film technology, and building on over a decade of ground-breaking headphone engineering, Audeze is proud to introduce the CRBN Electrostatic Headphones. Audeze’s patent-pending Carbon Nano-Tube diaphragm film offers extreme neutrality, an ultra-lightweight construction, and low resonance, coupled with an amazingly rich bass experience when compared to competing electrostatics. This proprietary diaphragm delivers an unbelievable level of detail and immersion so it’s like there’s nothing between you and your music.
CRBN is sonically superior to all the other electrostatic headphones – not only the Stax 009, but the HiFI Man, Dan Clark Audio, and Sennheiser HE-1. The Stax has a big bass boost at about 60Hz, then falls off, so there’s less bass below 60Hz. CRBN does not have the big bass boost, but instead has very accurate bass response flat to 20Hz.
These headphones are very lightweight at only about 10.8 oz, and beautifully crafted in every aspect. CRBN comes with newly designed leather earpads, a carbon fiber suspension headband, acetate rings, and magnesium housing, plus a specially designed premium electrostatic cable and professional travel case.
CRBN is compatible with “Stax Pro Bias” 580 Volt amplifiers such 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.
