House of Marley launches newest ANC headphones with Positive Vibrations XL ANC

House of Marley today announces the release of the Positive Vibration XL ANC over-ear wireless headphones, to tune out the world and tune into you.

PREMIUM LISTENING

The headphones feature hybrid active noise cancellation through dual sets of integrated microphones to provide uninterrupted listening from external noise.

Offering an improved battery life over its predecessor, Positive Vibration XL ANC provides 26 hours of battery life with ANC on and 32 hours with ANC off, with advanced quick-charge technology. By going longer between charges, you can extend not only playtime, but also product life.

“Our Positive Vibration series of headphones has always been a popular favourite for its quality sound and affordability. By creating the next generation with the Positive Vibration XL ANC, we are upgrading the experience and making active noise cancellation a standard feature,” explains House of Marley Director of Product Development, Josh Poulsen. “Today’s environment often has us working in new spaces, on-the-go outside, and frequently in need of blocking out unwanted noise.

The House of Marley, an eco-conscious audio brand, created in collaboration with the Marley family, is one brand doing its bit for the environment. All House of Marley products are consciously crafted from mindfully sourced materials including FSC certified woods, bamboo, consciously harvested cork, REGRIND™ silicone and Marley’s own signature blend of REWIND™ up-cycled fabrics (made from organic cotton, reclaimed hemp and recycled plastic bottles).

Aside from using eco-conscious materials, House of Marley is also helping to spread awareness of global reforestation needs via Project Marley. This charitable initiative contributes to the planting of trees through non-profit organisation, One Tree Planted. As a result, over 242,000 trees have already been planted, with a further 85,600 trees due to be planted over the coming months.

House of Marley announces new Get Together Duo bookshelf speakers.

House of Marley today announces the release of the Get Together Duo bookshelf speakers, an expansion of the popular Get Together line of portable speakers.

A greener alternative to other home audio solutions, the Get Together Duo are designed with the iconic look of the Get Together collection using mindfully sourced materials including bamboo and House of Marley’s signature REWIND™ fabric, crafted from reclaimed organic cotton and hemp.

“Our conscious construction is unique not only to our materials but how we apply them to the product. We use materials not only for their sustainable properties and their aesthetic quality, but also for their acoustical, mechanical properties as well,” explains House of Marley Director of Product Development, Josh Poulsen. “The bamboo in the Get Together Duo provides a modern look that’s rooted in a highly renewable natural resource. Produced using a carbon positive process, bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood and a tensile strength that rivals steel. This allows the speakers to be more durable, while also enhancing the warm, rich sound.”

The Get Together Duo speaker pair features 20 hours of playtime with complete versatility to sync with mobile devices, televisions, laptops or turntables while delivering powerful stereo sound. Each measuring 20cm tall, 13cm wide and 10cm deep, the speakers offer a perfect fit for the home from living rooms to home offices as compact, functional statement pieces that sound as good as they look. Pair the Get Together Duo with House of Marley’s Stir it Up Wireless turntable to complete the seamless, natural look of the bamboo collection.

Wireless connectivity between the two speakers provides added functionality from a traditional bookshelf home audio setup.

Tech Review – House of Marley Champion True Wireless. #Tech #TWS

House of Marley recently announced their latest TWS earbuds called the “Champion” and I have been testing them out for a few days now and as expected I was impressed given the price the come in at. However there is bargains to be had in the true wireless market these days and great value for money these days and the cost to performance ratio is getting better all the time which is great for the consumer overall.

This time around we get an affordable pair of earbuds built around the same idea of the Redemption which are an excellent pair of True Wireless but more expensive however worth the money. We get that bamboo touch again and an in ear style this time around rather than stems, they did at first look like they would not stay in my ears but the right tips and they offer a snug fit and have not dropped out and give good isolation off the bat. The charging case is really nice and pocketable and has a touch of bamboo on top and this complements the earbuds which have a really satisfying click and make for easy commands too which is nice and one of the best controls I have used in a while and due to the surface area you will not make mistakes or accidental clicks.

When it comes to sound this is what most folk are here for and overall really good with a level of bass thrown in and these are loud too, you have most controls at hand here, they can be used independently too which is important for some and you get quick charge thrown in which is an added bonus they do have a decent battery life too. The sound though overall good and no distortion on high volume found in my testing highs,lows and mids good and good direction and crisp voice, same applies to calls which where fine on both ends and clear so overall there is no complaints here.

When people see the word “eco” or “sustainable” sign on tech they fear a loss of quality but that is not the case and something to expect going forward from all manufacturers of tech..

The result is a stylish and affordable option that answers the consumer demand for more environmentally conscious products.”

Review – The Smile Jamaica Wireless 2. #HouseOfMarley #SmileJamaica #Tech

The Smile Jamaica Wireless 2 are the latest on offer from the company that has the environment in mind which is a good thing and not only that you do no shed features due to materials used nor quality either. We have checked out several of the brands earbuds and recently the REDEMPTION ANC which are a fantastic pair of earbuds if you fancy spending some more for a tradional pair of truw wireless without the cables,these do have a cable but still deliver with everthing you would expect from a pair with none, they look great and stand out with the colour scheme too and I am a fan of this.

When it comes to functions they are all present which again is great,many earbuds that come with inline controls lack in this department but not here, we go through the process in the video review below on what you get. Overal the sound is great,crisp and clear with their signature bass tone too,there is no app but it is not needed, There was no lag latency either noted during my testing period and overall the sound is quite good and better than expected for the price commanded here. If you are in the market for this kind of true wireless these should be on the list .

House of Marley moves to 100% recyclable packaging with launch of Smile Jamaica Wireless 2 in-ear headphones.

House of Marley today announces the launch of the redesigned Smile Jamaica Wireless 2 in-ear headphones, a stylized refinement to the timeless classic at a new lower price with sustainability improvements in both the cable and packaging. The product release includes the debut of House of Marley’s new 100% recyclable plastic-free packaging constructed entirely from paper fibres.

The Smile Jamaica Wireless 2 feature a fresh and tailored redesign of the best-selling everyday in-ear headphones, but with familiar eco-conscious materials. As with the original model, the FSC™ certified wood and recyclable aluminium housings in the earbuds deliver not only an earthy, stylish look but a warm, acoustic component to the signature Marley sound performance.

 

The new braided cable used in the Smile Jamaica Wireless 2 is designed using fibres from 99% post-consumer plastic waste from recycled water bottles, bringing sustainable elements to durable construction. As the leader in eco-conscious audio products while contributing to environmental give-back, House of Marley has also expanded their innovative design to address the need for a simpler, fully-recyclable packaging for consumer electronics.

“It was important for us to make it easier for the consumer to make a conscious decision toward recycling the packaging and one that did not compromise our commitment to sustainable design,” explains House of Marley Director of Product Development Josh Poulsen. “Our packaging has always positioned us to stand out within the consumer electronics industry as we have made a conscious effort to use FSC™ certified materials, recycled paper, recycled PET casing and paper fibre ties instead of the plastic standard. Our move to 100% paper fibre packaging means that the entire package contents can now be put into the single mixed-paper recycle bin without a hassle to separate inserts of different materials, a common issue when it comes to the recycling process.”

In addition to 100% recyclable packaging, House of Marley is continuing their support for environmental give-back, celebrating their 10th Anniversary as an eco-conscious audio maker and honouring the legendary Bob Marley and his respect for the earth and people.  The Project Marley Global Giving Initiative has expanded to support global reforestation through One Tree Planted and ocean preservation through the Surfrider Foundation.
