Eco Friendly Audio Equipment

Do you love listening to your music on speakers? Does the thought of realizing how much you pay to run those speakers give you pause before you turn them on? There are good options for eco friendly and energy efficent iPod docks, stereos, speakers, etc.

iPod Docks

Vers 2X wooden iPod dock

• The Vers 2X is a compact, all-in-one iPod dock. It plays and charges any iPod (or iPhone; it also comes with a universal MP3 dock in case you’re breaking the mold with a Zen or a Zune or something else). It has 2 3” 15-watt speakers, dual port design for deeper bass, and a sweet little silver remote control.
• Vers uses wood which displaces 80% of what otherwise would have been plastic. They’ve also done their homework so the wood they use is sustainably harvested. Each unit is also put together with screws (not adhesives or snaps), so each dock can be broken down for easy recycling. There’s no formaldehyde or toxic glue in the wood bonding. And in other chemical news, Vers is RoHS compliant.

• The packaging is also made from 100% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable. The class D amplifier used in Vers 2X is 80% more energy efficient than other amplifiers. That means it uses about half the energy to produce the same amount of sound.

• You can get your 2X for a (suggested retail) price of $149.99 directly through the Vers website or through any of their retailers (Target.com, Feel More Human, and many others).
