Global specialty plastics provider Eastman collaborated with lifestyle audio brand Skullcandy to create a new wireless headphone that lives up to the brand's design pillar of "built for adventure" due to the inherent toughness and chemical resistance of Eastman Tritan copolyester. Used on the headphone's headband, Tritan offers chemical resistance to skin oils and hair products, making it ideal for this application.

Known for its innovative practices in sustainable design, earth-friendly audio maker House of Marley is bringing a new element to their outdoor collection. The brand introduced the No Bounds family of all terrain Bluetooth speakers, designed using lightweight, sustainably-harvested cork and Marley's signature Rewind Fabric. The new speakers, now available, feature 10-hour battery life, are water and dust-proof (IP67), and allow wireless dual speaker pairing.

House of Marley launched round two of their sustainable wireless product line, Positive Vibration 2 Wireless, further expanding within the innovative tech and music space. After launching a new wireless in-ear headphone in July, the brand has developed a new on-ear headphone with Bluetooth 4.2, a new 50mm driver, and increased battery capacity for 10 - 12 hour play time, a technological improvement on the brand's successful Positive Vibration style.
