If you like bamboo products, we found 2 stylish Japanese tech products for you. Bird-Electron Japan has created the EZ-TAKEGTF2 portable speakers made from all natural bamboo that don’t require any power source! Utilizing the natural resonance of bamboo, this speaker uses special Japanese SuSu bamboo (which is smoked and aged for close to 100 years), and can be used with any audio device through its 3.5mm stereo-mini plug. With one 2.5-inch full-range speaker at each end, Bird Electron claims that the natural resonance of the hand-crafted bamboo enclosure helps it to project quality sound while enhancing stylish interior design.

If you prefer headphones, try the stylish Amadana 117 series. The bamboo looks fantastic, but it’s also very light and strong (it’s only half the weight of comparable earphones). Of course, the most important aspect of the Amadana 117 line is that they sound rich and clear. Available in two available colors: dark bamboo with a black over-the-ear loop, and light bamboo with a white over-the-ear loop.
