Audeze CRBN2
With the CRBN2, Audeze claims to be taking the sound experience of headphones to a whole new level. The electrostatic headphones offer a unique listening experience with advanced second-generation carbon nanotube drivers and Slam technology.
Featuring Audeze’s second-generation carbon nanotube diaphragm film, the CRBN2 offers neutrality with light weight and low resonance, coupled with an astonishingly rich bass experience. The thin carbon nanotube diaphragm provides a high level of detail and immersion. The result is precise sound with natural detail and stereo imaging.
SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology delivers a powerful bass response and vivid holographic spatial imaging. Designed to optimize bass frequencies and reduce distortion, SLAM is a patent-pending technology that provides optimum pressure distribution on the diaphragm, natural detail reproduction and impressive stereo imaging.
In addition to technical sophistication, the CRBN2 headphones also offer a luxurious design and high-quality materials such as magnesium, carbon fiber, premium leather, stainless steel and polymer acetate. Each pair is hand-assembled, tested and manufactured in California to the highest standards to ensure the best possible quality.
Overall, Audeze CRBN2 headphones are a combination of excellence in sound quality, innovative technology and premium design. It is an investment in an exceptional listening experience that will delight audiophiles and music lovers alike.
