The Ebony Encore Portable Audio System Improves the Tonal Music Experience

— June 27, 2016 — Special
For music listeners seeking a portable audio system that provides style along with quality playing features, the Ebony Encore wooden headphones by LSTN might be an ideal option. The headphones are constructed out of ebony wood that provide a natural acoustic quality that improves the playing experience and overall tone. The headphones opt for a retro design that is paired with modern music features.

The ebony wood utilized in the design of the Ebony Encore headphones provides style as well as an additional tonal element that amplifies sound. The wood is utilized throughout the design and secured to an adjustable aluminum headband.

In addition, LSTN provides a hearing aid for someone in need for each pair of Ebony Encore headphones sold.

3. Socially Responsible Consumerism Trend - Companies that take social responsibility initiatives like LSTN's by offering a hearing aid to someone in need for each pair of Ebony Encore headphones sold have the potential to become more popular in the marketplace.
Industry Implications
