CRBN2 headphones’ SLAM acoustic technology offers groundbreaking bass response – but it doesn’t come cheapSony-owned headphone manufacturer Audeze has given one of its flagship products an upgrade. Building on the bones of the original CRBN model, CRBN2 promises an immersive, fully optimised listening experience.
Thanks to Audeze’s very own Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator (SLAM) technology, CRBN2 boasts a bass response superior to its predecessor. The acoustic system enhances lower frequencies, giving the earphones a tactile, physical bass sensation.

Audeze argues that its SLAM technology provides an “unmatched” listening experience unlike any other electrostatic headphone on the market right now. The enhanced bass response aims to plant listeners firmly in the world of the track they are listening to, allowing for a truly spatial sonic experience.
Audeze CEO Sankar Thiagasamudram has emphasised this factor, insisting that the company’s latest product will provide a ‘lifelike’ listening experience. “Our goal was to create an immersive experience that truly brings music to life leveraging the audio innovations Audeze is known for,” he says.
“With CRBN2, we’ve pushed the boundaries of electrostatic technology even further, introducing our new SLAM system to deliver the most lifelike bass and transparency ever achieved in an electrostatic headphone,” he asserts.
The headphones are designed with pretty premium materials, so your musical journey will be nice and comfortable. We’ve got leather earpads, a suspension headband, all the carbon fiber you could hope for. And it comes in at a relatively light 480 grams.
The design is inspired by a project to produce headphones that can safely be worn during MRI scans. Headphones with any ferrous metals are a no-go when getting an MRI due to the machine’s powerful magnetic fields. Alongside the UCLA School of Medicine, Audeze developed the carbon-nanotube electrostatic driver.
As well as bring MRI-safe, Audeze’s second-gen carbon-nanotube electrostatic driver pairs nicely with the fresh SLAM technology. The combo is set to offer “exceptional” sound fidelity.
Each pair of CRBN2 headphones is also hand-assembled and tested in California. With that in mind, the company insist means each pair will be of the utmost quality.
CRBN2 headphones can be pre-ordered now for $5,995.00. However, if you already own CRBN headphones, a Loyalty Update Program will allow you to upgrade for just $995.
