Lately I've been looking at some of the headphones offered by JVC, and a lot of their products use carbon nanotube technology. I also recall reading some posts on various websites about how this can be potentially harmful to your ears and is capable of causing great injury. Just curious, have these claims in any way been researched or justified?

Harmful? How?

Although further research is required, the available data suggest that under certain conditions, especially those involving chronic exposure, carbon nanotubes can pose a serious risk to human health.

Its more dangerous/cancerous/nanoscopic more than asbestos and do they aging as will come off later in the air .
So dont lick/smoke/smell/rub it!
And its useless, don't sound better and made for low-fi/end hp.
Sony's Liquid Crystal diaphragm are safer!

Bump. Have there been any studies on this in the past?
