Vers Inc. launches 1Q wood Bluetooth sound system on Kickstarter.com. 700% support in 15 days.
SAXONVILLE, Mass., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vers Inc., designer of compact, hand crafted wood sound systems and mobile accessories, took a new approach to launching its latest product, the Vers 1Q, a wood Bluetooth sound system.

"The public response to the 1Q has been simply amazing," says David Laituri, founder of Vers and designer of 1Q. "We've gotten praise for the idea, as well as some good insights on improvement." Support is accelerating.
The Vers 1Q is a powerful, compact 3" cube sound system that works wirelessly with any phone, tablet or laptop via Bluetooth 2.1. It is the newest in Vers' line up of audio components, which include wood sound systems (Vers 1.5R), cases (for iPhone, Touch and iPad) and earphones (1E and 7E). The 1Q speaker is designed for a mobile media world, with serious thought toward design, sound quality and use of natural, renewable materials.
"Like all of our products," says Laituri, "the 1Q line was created with a passion for performance, beauty and sustainability. Wood is simply the best material for sound reproduction - it's rigid, allowing the music to be heard as intended, but provides a natural warmth to the music not possible with plastic."
For each tree used in production, 100 are re-planted through Vers' partnership with The Arbor Day Foundation and U.S. Forestry Service. Use a tree - plant a forest. "We're excited to be able to go beyond achieving sustainability, helping to restore the environment where it's needed most," says Laituri.
Vers 1Q Bluetooth sound system comes in Walnut, Bamboo and limited edition Red on Kickstarter.com [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/123227834/1q-natural-sound-for-your-mobile-life] through August 16 and via pre-order on versaudio.com [http://www.versaudio.com/vers1Q.html]. MSRP $119.99. Delivery is November 2012.
The Vers hand-crafted wood sound system and mobile accessory brand was founded in 2007 and is distributed in over 30 countries worldwide. Vers is committed to making beautiful, high quality sound systems and mobile accessories that are environmentally thoughtful.
