Well, not quite yet, but it'll be interesting once they do come out
Graphene speakers

Very cool. That actually looks like something audio companies would be willing to invest in and introduce to the market.... very far down the road, of course.

Yes, I read about these on Physorg and concur that graphene will make for an amazing driver material.  I wonder if it is used in a similar fashion to current electrostatic or orthodynamic drivers.

Graphene by definition is a single layer of carbon atoms, a few layers of graphene is no longer graphene (just pointing that out).
From the diagram, it could go either way ortho or electrostatic

I get your point, but nobody calls a brick wall 'a repetitive, arranged, cemented stack of baked clay cuboids'. 
 
A diaphragm made of graphine will just be called a 'graphene diaphragm' by the general public.
Science probably doesn't even yet have a name for what they've created.

We have a name for it... the FUTURE
 
still saw the title... doubted it, read the article... wow that's awesome
