Vers Audio 1.5R bamboo iPod dock

Vers Audio’s mission according to their website is to ‘craft a beautiful, better sounding system with less impact to the environment at the same time’. As a company they look for sustainable materials and in the case of the wood they use the entire tree including the roots, trunk, branches, leaves and bark. The paper in the packaging is 100% post-consumer waste. What is even better is they have looked to reduce the overall packaging as well. For example, no twist ties and paper pulp packing rather than styrene foam means a 12% reduction in the size of the box. The flow on means more boxes per container and the subsequent saving in transportation.
What about the product? The Vers Audio 1.5R Bamboo uses an energy efficient amplifier and by using 9.5mm thick wood rather than plastic the unit is more rigid and therefore the sound is not affected by the product. Most other ipod docks don’t consider this. Style wise they have adopted the less is more approach and left just the basic controls. Perfect.
Much more information including technical specifications are available at the Vers Audio website.
