New Crosszone CZ-12 Available Now

The New CZ-12 $1,199 RRP

We are excited to announce the release of the Crosszone CZ-12, which retains the spatial positioning effect while achieving significant weight reduction and now comes at a more affordable price.

The product comes with a headphone case for added protection and portability.

Crosszone’s CZ-12 is a unique headphone that achieves the External Sound Localization effect with an original technology. Different from conventional headphones that have a problem known as internal sound localization (in which the sound sources seems to be located inside the head), the CZ-12 uses Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART) and Acoustic Delay Chambers (ADC) to achieve this natural and spatial sound field. It simulates the experience and sound pathway listening with stereo speakers.

Three different pathways are created using ART and ADC technology. Two drivers (for high and low frequencies) create the direct sound. Another 35mm driver creates the reverse channel sound. The two air chambers for mainly the reflected and reverse sounds are used to create this delay. Sounds from the reverse and reflected chamber are mixed with the direct sounds, which generates a spatial sound field and a wide sound stage (external sound localization).

NEW CZ-12 - Made in Japan

Comfortable Fitting Design

Smaller and lightweight housing structure with well-contained sound.

The headband now features a foldable design,contributing to reduced weight while marking the headphones easier to carry and store.

Carrying Case Included

The CZ-12 now comes with the CZ-CC10 carrying case (previously sold separately). Together with reduced weight, this addition greatly expands the range of use – whether outdoors or on the go.

BE Coating for All Drivers with New Diaphragm Shape

The diaphragm plates of the two drivers (HF 23mm/LF 35mm) for main sound source and the CF driver (35mm) for opposite channel sound source are beryllium coated. Brass rings on the driver frame can ensure product durability and eliminate unnecessary oscillation. Through the original ART technology, these designs effectively playback sounds from LF to HF.

Dedicated Cables to Support High Sound Quality and High-Resolution

The standard accessories of CZ-12 include One OFC cables 1.5 m (with Φ3.5mm small plug）. 

The solid, spiral OFC cables have strong anti-noise capacity. To ensure the separation of the left and right channel signals, the connecting cables have 8 separate wires (4 wires * 2 sets).
