Wood-crafted speakers for iPod, iPhone

Vers Audio has begun shipping its Vers sound system in an iPod and iPhone-compatible edition. The Vers line offers hand crafted, real wood sound systems with a furniture grade finish. The heart of iPod/iPhone Vers is a class D amplifier, coupled with 2-3" custom designed speakers that deliver 30 watts peak of full range sound. The sound system stands 5.5" tall by 11" wide and 5.5" deep. There is also a 14 function IR remote that has an extended range of controls for menu and play-list navigation. Vers retails for $180. Company officials said "Vers is the first in a line of iPod and iPhone sound systems that are hand crafted from real wood; they look as beautiful as they sound. The Vers line was developed by Sprout Creation LLC, a product creation company based in Wayland Massachusetts. Partners Dave Laituri and Tim Trzepacz are former Brookstone Company executives who launched Sprout Creation and its Vers line in 2007."
