How many headphone companies can claim direct ties to both NASA and some of the world's most famous recording studios? Audeze's planar magnetic headphones use a thin, strong diaphragm material originally developed for space travel. They've sculpted a sound so precise and natural that top music producers use them for mixing and mastering hit songs.

Audeze started in 2009, and the Southern California company quickly grew their reputation among sound aficionados. Crutchfield has proudly carried their statement-piece over-the-ear headphones for years, and we've loved being along for the thrilling ride as Audeze continues to innovate.
