Hi, I'm wondering if there are any quality differences of different BA drivers. For example, do some BA headphone makers user higher quality drivers? Also, are newer BA drivers better than the older models? Where do I get more detailed info about all this?

Yes, there are some drivers developed strictly for high-end audio and pro-audio market. Yes newer drivers are better especially compared those from around 2000-2005, the biggest change was around 2006-2008 when audio market really started using BA drivers on big scale and companies started developing more advanced deigns with lower THDs, higher outputs more broadband response etc.
However, there are also times when a certain "old" design is actually suitable for a specific application, such as in these multi-way, millions of driver designs. A driver doesn't have to have the hugest bandwidth, but it should have the best performance within the frequency range that it's intended to operate in. So, newer BA designs are not always the best way to go in multi-BA designs. Like with amps and DACs, the entire design has to be taken into consideration.
