In an effort to give consumers a sustainable way to listen to music, Environmental Audio debuted a new pair of affordable headphones made from recycled wood and eco-friendly components. The headphones boast an exceptional mid-range audio quality with clear vocals that are lighter on the base.
Environmental Audio's headphones offer drivers that are suspended on a 3D printed baffle with mylar speaker cones and neodymium magnets. The device offers a sound-canceling system created from each solid wood ear cone to muffle outside noise. The hand-finished ear cones are CNCed and made from a reclaimed Douglas fir while the headband is retrofitted using industrial-grade ear muffs to make the headphones durable.
5 percent of all proceeds will be donated to environmental protection groups.
