I am aware of that, but I've listened to cheap earphones, I've listened to the newer low-mid-range Apple earphones, I've listened to $70-range earphones, and I've listened to mid-range ($100-200) studio headphones and mid-range ($700-1500/pr) studio monitors, and there's no way that a response curve largely matching $10 earphones (or even $70 earphones) can be described as "superb".
That said, I'm complaining about the article, not the research. By all means, Berkeley researchers, please continue developing graphene earphones!

The Sennheisers drop off significantly above 5kHz, the graphene ones don't.
