Another gadget used by most on a daily basis, at least for those who commute or go to the gym and need to get pump-up with some music, are earphones. The Ts02+mic earphones, are made out of wood and provide a better listening experience, due to clearer and richer sounds; making the earphones one of the most popular eco-friendly gadgets.
