Scientists have been predicting for quite some time that graphene will "inhabit" many technological devices, electronic circuits, etc. The predictions are clearly coming true, as the Canadian startup company ORA has developed the first headphones from this material, which is 200 times stronger than steel and 1000 times lighter than paper, and the results are remarkable.
The membranes of the GQ headphones are the special part that is and will be the most talked about. As befits such a quality device, it is adorned with the best features such as the option wireless connections, controller, lamb leather, which 'breathes' perfectly, wooden case or shell and anatomically designed earpiece for better and more comfortable listening. Ora also promises 70 % more powerful battery.
The sound quality of the GQ is the result of the use of nanotechnology. Graphene reacts to sound much more 'natural' than other materials and transmits it to our ears and brain significantly less distorted. The sound travels through the membranes and they must be as thin and light as possible, but this also causes vibrations in them, which affects the sound quality. It probably goes without saying that this does not happen with graphene.

What is graphene?
Graphene is a solid composed of pure carbon where the atoms are arranged in a pattern of regular hexagons similar to graphite, but one atom thick. It is very light, the mass of a piece of graphene with an area of one square meter is only 0.77 milligrams.
Graphene is considered one of the most important discoveries in the field of quantum mechanical phenomena in this century.
