And they're pretty cheap, too

Graphene was first discovered at the University of Manchester in 2004 and is a Nobel prize-winning, naturally occurring super material. No big deal.

It's also just one atom thick (so almost transparent) and the strongest material ever discovered – 100 times stronger than diamond and 200 times stronger than steel, yet still flexible and even stretchable.

Enter MediaDevil's CB-01 headphones, comprising a graphene-enhanced audio diaphragm which promises to improve both the high and low-end of the audio frequency wave. 

Callum Bush, co-founder of the newly-formed British firm, is certainly confident, saying, "Nanene's properties enabled us to produce an earphone diaphragm that traditional materials would not allow."

We can't vouch for the sonic capabilities just yet, but visually the new MediaDevil CB-01 in-ears are devilishly handsome, with the devil himself depicted in aluminium at the end of the bud.
