Audiophiles were all over the place at CES sampling and enjoying a wide range of new, high-end headphones and earbuds, many of which were endorsed or developed in collaboration with celebrities in the music, entertainment and luxury markets. With Ludacris, 50 Cent and Miles Davis-endorsed products in the ring, the line that seemed to stand out was from the House of Marley. The House of Marley's new line of eco-friendly earbuds, headphones and iPhone/iPod docks were developed to adhere to Bob Marley and the Marley family's values of equality, unity, sustainability and charity. As Elyse Kaye, Senior Product Manager from The House of Marley explains, "Materials for the products are sustainably sourced, and include FSC-certified wood, recyclable aluminums and plastics. Packaging is recycled or recyclable and a portion of each product sale goes to 1Love causes that focus on charities that benefit youth, planet and peace. Our hope is to create a movement, not just a product line." Check out the full video of our interview with Kaye below (and enjoy the music!).

These are pretty out there. Good caurse but when the materials are sustainaby sourced does this actually mean the products are recyclable? In my experience this is not the case.
