- STUDIO STANDARD: Praised by top musicians, producers, and audio engineers, the CB-1 headphones are an industry standard in recording studios around the world. The CB-1s have received critical acclaim from the most discerning audiophiles on the web as well as top technology editors.
- 50MM Drivers: Large 50mm drivers deliver studio quality audio with a wide, expansive soundstage that puts you in the room with your favorite musicians. Hear music the way the artists, producers, mix and mastering engineers intended.
- DESIGNED FOR COMFORT: The CB-1s padded headband and overstuffed earpads were designed to be comfortable during multi-hour recording sessions. Its over-the-ear design fully encloses ear, offering passive noise cancelling without putting extra pressure on your head. The CB-1s adjustable headband ensures a snug fit on your head, and clicking ridges allow for full customizability. .
- TWO CABLES INCLUDED + 14 ADAPTOR: The CB-1 comes with two 9-foot audio cables - one coiled, one straight. Both have a custom locking mechanism that keeps them attached to the headphones, eliminating the risk of dislodging the cable. The CB-1 is compatible with any 3.5mm audio cable, but it will lack this locking feature. We also provide a 14 adaptor plug for use with professional audio equipment.
- UNDERSTATED STYLE: The CB-1s minimalist, unbranded aesthetic will never lose its luster or fall out of fashion. A slim frame doesnt awkwardly protrude sideways, and the CB-1 can be folded to become compact for travel.

Style: CB-1
My title pretty much sums up these headphones; they outclass headphones that cost considerably more. I purchased these headphones last year, but didn't want to review them until I had something to compare them to, and I have just the pair of headphones; the Philips SHP9500. I do not have any high-end headphones, and before the Philips I was only familiar with budget Samson headphones and some cheap random headphones I purchased from Amazon that were most likely made in China. I cannot compare these to expensive units from Beyerdynamic, Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Sony, AKG, Grado, Audeze, etc., and I don't intend to. However, I do have the excellent Philips SHP9500 which can cost anywhere between $20 - $40 more than these, and I can safely say that the Status Audio CB1s are the better pair, 110%. I will discuss what the Philips do better, then I will discuss what the CB1s do better. Comfort - The Philips are one of the most comfortable, if not the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever owned or used. They almost feel like nothing is resting on your head, and the Status Audio CB1s, while comfortable, simply do not compare. The CB1s feel a tad bit heavier, but more than that, they don't rest on your head and over your ears like the Philips do. Build Quality and Construction - This is a toss up, because I think both are of roughly equal build quality. I lean towards the Philips a bit more for its aesthetics and sleep look, and I can safely say they look much better in person. Pictures do not do the Philips justice, at all. The Philips do have some metal in their construction, but otherwise 90% of it is plastic, while 100% of the CB1 is plastic. But, not the cheap feeling kind - they feel robust and durable. Where it concerns the cables, the Status Audio clearly provides better quality cables. The CB1s use a twist-to-lock-in 3.5mm jack on the headphones, and you get two, thick cables (one coiled, one straight) with two 1/4" gold plated adapters. The SHP9500 comes with a single, mediocre feeling 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable/jack with one 1/4", gold plated adapter - it's okay, and is nothing to talk about. Sound Quality - And this is where the Status Audio CB1s are 100% superior! Both headphones operate at around the same decibel, so volume matching them were pretty easy. While the SHP9500's are open-back, they really do not seem to provide a wider or deeper soundstage than CB1s. The Philips SHP9500 are brighter, and can even sound harsh at times, compared to the CB1. If you want neutrality, the CB1 is the way to go, as it is much flatter across the frequency spectrum. The bass on the CB1 is tight, and full, and although I think there's a small freq bump in the 40-50hz range, it doesn't sound artificial or forced. The low-end simply extends further down than the Philips, while maintaining a more neutral mid and high range, that doesn't sound hyped or forced, like the SHP9500'S. For a closed-back pair of headphones, these things sound just as opened as the Philips SHP9500, with better isolation and a flatter frequency response. Although the Philips can sound more airy, and give a crisp sound to female vocals and high freq instruments (crashes, hi-hats), it is solely because of the presence boost in the high freqs, and that crisp sizzle can quickly turn into harsh sibilance, especially if your ears are sensitive. For mixing, your ears will not be fatigued by the sound signature of the CB1s, while they definitely can become fatigued quickly using the SHP9500's. And of course, for monitoring, the closed-back system is preferred, as the CB1s have very little bleed/sound leakage. To summarise, the Status Audio CB1 is cheaper with comparative build quality, flatter more neutral response, deeper extended bass response, comparative sound stage, is less fatiguing and again, is cheaper. The ONLY thing the Philips beats the CB1s in, with ease, is comfort. Do yourself a favour and pick these up over the SHP9500's if you're deliberating between the two. If you prefer more airy headphones, then the SHP9500's are the way to go. If you're a mixing engineer or someone who prefers a more flat, neutral response, get the CB1s!
