GrapheneQ provides audiophile sound quality from smaller, more efficient loudspeakers.
Graphene provides significant benefits for loudspeaker performance:
* Instant improvements in sound quality
* Immediate extension of battery life, up to 70%
* More volume from small speakers
* Unrivaled high frequency response for improved localization cues
GrapheneQ reacts more accurately than other materials which allows it to truthfully recreate the original recording without additional artifacts.
They have raised about $250,000 on a $102,000 kickstarter.
The speakers will retail for about USD500 and they are targeting delivery March 2018 and sound devices for smartphones and other devices will follow.
