Elrod, even if solid, beryllium is extremely toxic. If you damage a beryllium tweeter, for safety’s sake, it needs to be replaced ASAP! It’s that dangerous from everything I have read for many years.
Would you put Beryllium in your ears?
I own two pairs of Focal speakers, both with Beryllium tweeters. Packed in with the speakers are fluorescent orange adhesive labels; “use this adhesive label to seal the face of the Beryllium tweeter in case of damage to the dome”. Beryllium tweeters sound wonderful, in my opinion on both of these speakers (Scala Utopia V2’s and Electra 1038 BE2’s) and should be quite safe in speakers.
Which is why I was intrigued when recently, I’ve seen Beryllium earbuds hit the market. Knowing it is toxic, and one can doubt absolute care is taken to rid all fragments and particles in the manufacturing process, or even if they were to become damaged while in your ears...
I’d like to know your opinions, if you would use them. Would you put Beryllium in your ears?
