The Status Audio CB-1 headphones are affordable excellence"

Coiled cable and extended-length straight cable for multiple studio applications. Both are detachable from the headphones via a keyed locking mechanism.
Substantial, yet highly portable. A unique bi-fold design collapses into a small form factor, ideal for travel and commuting.
We've outfitted some of the finest recording studios in the world with CB-1s, and offer deep discounts for customers purchasing 5 or more.
The CB-1 headphones are a cult favorite among musicians, producers, audio engineers and audiophiles.
"The Status Audio CB-1s might be the best headphones under $100...cheaper and better than the Audio Technica M50"
"They're affordable and ruggedly built, and the sound quality is as good as I've heard for the money"
"Status Audio's CB-1s are the Most Comfortable Over-Ear Headphones I've Worn"
Great isolation. Comfortable. Clean and clear audio. Great price.
Just got started working in voice over and the CB-1 has been super helpful. I also really dig the black/gold color scheme. I haven't worn over ear headphones in years and the adjustment so far has been smooth.
I haven’t got to use these guys too much since I’ve got them but the one time I did use them, they have balanced sound.
These are my main vinyl-listening headphones and wow they bring out so much detail! So comfortable too! I can listen to several albums (and flip a lot of records over) and not feel any discomfort! My only complaint is the build quality but I know they made sacrifices in that area to focus on sound quality.
Awesome!!! Tremendous sound quality.

No. They use the standard 3.5mm connector, and include a ¼ inch adapter for professional A/V gear.
The CB-1 headphones are “over-ear”, a.k.a. “circumaural” headphones. They completely enclose the ear, and will reduce the amount of outside noise that can leak in. They are extremely comfortable for long-term use.
Yes, the CB-1 earpads are removable. We don't recommend the use of aftermarket pads. If you are in need of replacement OEM earpads, please contact us.
Yes. If you are having trouble removing the cables from the headphone, please note there is a locking mechanism - a quarter turn clockwise will lock them, and a quarter turn counter-clockwise will unlock them.
You can use just about any 3.5mm cable with the CB-1, but it will not have the locking mechanism of the original cable.
