The House of Marley has released a large line of audio products at CES 2011, including headphones, earbuds and ipod dock speaker systems. All the products are designed with Bob Marley’s philosophy in mind and are made with eco-friendly wood and aluminum pieces, giving a very unique style.
The colorful designs caught my attention the most and the construction quality seems quite good. Most of the product are pretty affordable for most with the Smile Jamaica earbuds starting at $29 and the over-the-ear phone starting at $59. The Roots Rock bomb box will retail for $249 and the flagship speaker dock, One Foundation will be a whopping $499, but if the sound is as good as it looks they may be worth the extra coin. More in the press release after the break. [click to continue…]
