The result of several years of research and development in ultra-thin film technology and building on more than a decade of innovative headphones, Audeze introduces CRBN: its electrostatic headphones.
They feature a patent-pending ultra-thin film diaphragm with carbon nanotubes, offering extreme neutrality, light weight and low resonance. All this is coupled with extremely rich bass, unmatched by other electrostatics. Its proprietary ultra-lightweight carbon nanotube diaphragm means that nothing can separate you from your music.
CRBN from Audeze has a capacitance of 100 pF including cable, with a sensitivity of 101dB. It features new, specifically designed leather ear pads, carbon fibre suspension headband, acetate cups and magnesium housing, as well as Audeze 's premium electrostatic cable and a professional carrying case.
These headphones Audeze have their own leather-finished ear pads. Being custom-made for this headphone model, they offer a better seal regardless of the user's cranial anatomy. In addition, they reduce parallel surfaces to limit possible resonances and equalise the frequency response.
Their foam interior also offers great comfort, amplifying that of the lightweight drivers and the carbon fibre suspension headband.
Audeze CRBN would not be a fully IMR-compatible headphone without an electrostatic cable. This offers extreme detail, ensuring that there is no deterioration of the audio signal between the amplifier and the headphones. This results in wider bass and treble frequencies and better sound transparency.
Thanks to single-crystal copper parts all oriented in the same direction, a conductivity that the premium connectors maintain is improved. The conductor of the Premium electrostatic cable is OCC copper of the highest purity for high voltages.
This innovative driver, born for use in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines thanks to the Californian audio firm's collaboration with UCLA and various leaders in the medical and neuroscientific sector, has a spectacular sound.
Maintaining the purity of sound that has made Audeze world-renowned, and with the high quality always demanded in the medical environment, these electrostatic drivers are arguably the biggest innovation in headphones in the last decade.
You'll have to hear them to believe it.
