SLAM gives CRBN2 the most physical, life-like bass reproduction of any electrostatic headphone, without added distortion.
Optimized driver response allows CRBN² to resolve acoustic space more accurately for incredibly immersive stereo imaging and soundstage presentation.
Pushing the boundaries of electrostatic technology - Our patented carbon nanotube-embedded driver film is made in house, allowing us to precisely control the electrostatic force across the driver to attain the most accurate sound possible.
CRBN² is engineered from materials of the highest quality: magnesium, carbon fiber, premium leather, stainless steel, and polymer acetate.
Each CRBN2 is hand-assembled and tested in California by electrostatic specialists, finished to the utmost standards.

Weighing in at only 420 grams, the LCD-5 offers hours of listening pleasure. Every part has been re-engineered, using materials such as magnesium
CRBN² is based on a project to produce headphones for use in MRI machines, between Audeze and a team from UCLA School of Medicine. Due to the powerful magnetic fields of an MRI, the headphone could not use ferrous metals, so researchers developed the carbon nanotube film electrostatic driver.
