I'm told that these Eco-Speakers sound good--unfortunately, Fashionation didn't actually have any demo units out on the floor, which does little to appease my suspicions that they couldn't sound like anything but total crap. Still, even if they're the worst sounding speakers in the world (and I'm sure they're not--would a PR person possibly lie to us about such a thing?), they're intriguing, and pretty damn cool.

The speakers are made from 100-percent recycled materials--what specifically, they don't really specify, but in-person, it looks an awful lot like cardboard. The speakers fold completely flat--that's how they come in the package.

The representative seemed more interested in talking about the different colors that they came in, rather than specs or environmental benefits--makes sense, I suppose, as the things are designed by a company called Fashionation. The company's eco line includes some other cool earth-friendly items, like iPod cases made from grass.

The Eco Speakers are available for $14.95, from Fashionation's site.
