AudezeCRBN2 Electrostatic Headphones - Black
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
CRBN2 is an open-back electrostatic headphone built around Audeze’s SLAM technology, which is intended to improve bass detail, pressure distribution across the diaphragm, and stereo imaging. Its large push-pull electrostatic transducers are made for a dedicated 580-volt-bias electrostatic amplifier, so this is a focused high-end listening setup rather than a plug-into-anything headphone. The supplied 2.5 m copper cable and aluminum travel case support a considered listening and transport routine.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Dedicated listening systems built around a 580-volt-bias electrostatic amplifier.
- Long listening sessions where the open-back over-ear format and premium materials suit the setup.
- Transporting the headphones between listening locations with the included aluminum travel case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Systems without a 580-volt-bias electrostatic amplifier.
- Listeners looking specifically for a closed-back headphone design.
