Headfonics Gives Audeze CRBN 9.4/10 Score

"The Audeze CRBN is a sublime and gorgeous-sounding electrostatic headphone"

Marcus Downey, Headfonics

"The Audeze CRBN is a sublime and gorgeous-sounding electrostatic headphone but also one that does not play by the electrostatic norms. A few e-stat cans have tried failed before to get that bass rumbling and remain a coherent listening experience, the CRBN is not one of those failures, not by a long shot, it sounds powerful yet very coherent at the same time. 

Its distinct and dense natural tonal qualities will also provide a very nice contrast to the likes of the cleaner airy sounding Shangri-La Jr which is exemplary in terms of micro-detail. I would say if you had these two side-by-side then have a very complementary high-end 1-2 for a wide range of genres. 

It is just as well the CRBN is a well-made and very comfortable headphone to wear also because it is quite an easy listening experience and one that will have you trawling through your music content for many an enjoyable hour. "
