The Audeze CRBN2 is a new electrostatic design with holographic spatial imaging that Audeze calls its most advanced headphone yet.
Audeze high-end headphones are loved by audiophiles and professional mixing engineers alike. With exceptional stereo imaging as well as vivid sonic clarity and detail, you can expect the best listening experience possible on headphones.
Audeze CRBN2
The CRBN series began as a collaborative project, with Audeze and the UCLA School of Medicine joining forces to create headphones that could be used inside MRI machines. Because an MRI generates such strong magnetic fields, no ferrous metals could be used in the construction.
Instead, an electrostatic driver was developed with carbon nanotube film. Due to its unique high-voltage design, the CRBN2 requires a specialized amplifier with an electrostatic output that uses Stax Pro Bias (580VDC).
Audeze recommends the following amplifiers:
- Stax SRM-700S (or T)
- Mjolnir Audio Carbon/KGSSHV
- Linear Tube Audio Z10e
- Headamp Blue Hawaii SE
- Eksonic Aeras / T2
- iFi iCAN PHANTOM
- Malvalve Headamp 3 MK4
- WOO Audio WES and 3ES

Hand-assembled by electrostatic specialists in California, the CRBN2 is constructed from top-quality carbon fiber, polymer acetate, magnesium, stainless steel, and premium leather.
To deliver the most organic and realistic low-end of any electrostatic headphone design, the CRBN2 uses SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology. This reduces distortion to a minimum and enhances the low-frequency range while optimizing the distribution of pressure across the diaphragm.
