I've never had this model/technology, but Audeze makes some pretty impressive cans. I currently have the LCD2 closed backs and LCDX closed backs. I've also had the EL-8 closed backs.

Not expecting anyone to buy these on a whim but please note these are electrostatic headphones and as such require a specific amplifier type to work.

From the product description:

580 Volt Compatibility
CRBN is compatible with "Stax Pro Bias" 580 Volt amplifiers such those from Woo Audio, Linear Tube Audio, Mjolnir Audio, Headamp, Stax (of course) and others. The cable is terminated with the industry standard 5-pin barrel connector for maximum compatibility.

Will need at least a 5-10k DAC/AMP to really make this shine. Don't forget to get it professionally EQ'd.

I use these with my Sony Walkman; my cassette tapes have never sounded so good!

I've never heard electrostats, but came pretty close to buying that Koss set from Drop. Decided against it as I've learned to enjoy the music rather than pick out details or where someone farted in the crowd during a recording.
