There aren't many headphones that started life in hospital, but then Audeze's CRBN2 electrostatic headphones aren't like other headphones. They're built around a cutting-edge material made from suspended carbon nanotubes that was originally designed for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and that ultra-thin material doesn't just prevent you from being hurled into the guts of an MRI machine. It also sounds pretty fantastic, as demonstrated in the Audeze CRBN headphones. And now there's a brand new version that promises to be even better.
The sequel to the CRBN headphones is the CRBN2, and it introduces what Audeze calls SLAM – short for Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator. According to the firm, this tech is "revolutionary" and delivers incredible clarity and powerful bass that's truly immersive.
