I was looking at Sony's website and saw the cd3k's there and to my suprise it said "natural fiber bio-cellulose diaphragm" .

Does this mean paper, like cheap speakers?

I know what matters is the sound and I'm not saying they'd be cheap phones if they were, it's just that I'd find it odd that they'd be using that now.

Didn't the W2002 use something similar too. Some fancy names huh.

The biocellulose driver is the technology that Sony developed for the R10.

if this is the technoogy used in cheap speakers, Long Live to cheap speakers!!!! According to the website:
".......Using leading-edge biotechnology techniques, a natural fiber (bio-cellulose) produced by a bacteria called Acetobacter acti is dehydrated, then compressed to a thickness of 20 microns in a diaphragm die. The advantage of the ultra-thin bio-cellulose diaphragm is that it can produce the same sound velocity as an aluminum or titanium diaphragm, along with the
warm, delicate sound that a paper diaphragm provides. Trebles are sparkling clear, and bass notes are remarkably deep and rich...."
