Ora Graphene Audio Partners with Merry Electronics to Develop the First Off-the-Shelf GrapheneQ Headphone Drivers

Ora Graphene Audio, the Montreal-based graphene technology pioneer announced a strategic partnership with Merry Electronics, the renowned Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer, to develop the world's first commercially available GrapheneQ headphone drivers. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the adoption of graphene technologies. Both 40mm and 50mm headphone drivers powered by Ora's groundbreaking graphene audio technology will be available for pre-orders Q1 2024.
 
The partnership comes on the heels of Ora's successful integrations into flagship products for 2 major consumer electronics brands - a couple of premium gaming headphones launched to the public over the summer. These first integrations of Ora's GrapheneQ technology has garnered widespread acclaim and is currently available to consumers worldwide. Ora Graphene originally introduced its GrapheneQ diaphragm in 2018, with a proof-of-concept headphone design promoted on Kickstarter that clearly demonstrated the superiority of its GrapheneQ technology.

Now Ora is working with Merry Electronics in Taiwan to be able to offer two standard-model graphene headphone driver products ready to be integrated in new designs and be delivered in volume production. Up until now, the only way to get actual graphene (not just deposition coatings) in a product was to do a custom driver design to create an exclusive driver that belonged only to the brand that commissioned it. However, not all brands had the time or bandwidth to engage in a new driver development. With the announcement of these new, non-exclusive graphene drivers, the Canadian company will be able to offer a solution to headphone manufacturers looking for a strong performance differentiation. 
  With the combined expertise of Ora Graphene and Merry Electronics, the new 40mm and 50mm graphene headphone drivers aim to leverage the unique properties of Ora's GrapheneQ and set a new gold standard in the audio industry. As already recognized by those who tried the first Ora headphones and enjoyed its detailed, fast, and less fatiguing response, these drivers will radically enhance audio reproduction, eliminating distortion and pushing speaker breakup three to four times higher than current solutions.

"We are thrilled to partner with Merry Electronics in the development of the world's first off-the-shelf graphene headphone driver," says Eric Gaskell, VP Product of Ora Graphene Audio Inc. "Our collaboration represents a major leap forward. We’ve proven the immense potential of graphene in transforming the way we experience sound. We are confident that our partnership will deliver groundbreaking results and set new standards in the audio industry." Both 40mm and 50mm GrapheneQ headphone drivers, developed through the joint efforts of Ora Graphene and Merry Electronics, will be available for pre-order starting in Q1 2024. Samples will be made available for industry professionals who wish to experience the exceptional audio quality firsthand.

"Collaborating with Ora Graphene marks a strategic alliance that enables Merry to deliver exceptional audio performance to our customers. Our focus is always to enhance the listening experience with new and advanced technology. This partnership allow us to provide a range of graphene drivers tailored for a variety of consumer applications," adds Olav Mellum Arntzen, Head of Transducer Business Unit at Merry Electronics.
