CES attendees can hear, feel and experience what's new from House of Marley in Central Hall, Booth #15237, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Among the new MARLEY personal audio gear expected to resonate with consumers in 2014 are:

  • Legend ANC Headphones: the new flagship headphone from House of Marley, offering best-in-class acoustic performance, style and comfort plus Active Noise Canceling technology.
  • Liberate XL Bluetooth Headphones: the first wireless headphones to proudly carry the MARLEY name;

"For us, music is elemental. It's a message and a movement. It goes in through our ears but it takes over our minds and hearts. Our souls," said Sam Vanderveer, senior vice president and general manager, House of Marley. "This year, we continue a journey that looks beyond a sea of black, red and white plastic and tells a story via our products that delivers on music's larger promise of a better day, a bigger love and a more authentic life."

House of Marley personal audio products are engineered to deliver the MARLEY "Signature Sound" and pour out all the energy, emotion and detail of every recording. Built on a rock solid foundation of superior performance, true craftsmanship and sonic legacy, the House of Marley designs delivery systems for your message and your music.

"My father once said, 'None but ourselves can free our minds,' and when it comes to House of Marley, we want people to turn on their music and free themselves from negativity and life's stresses," said Rohan Marley on behalf of the Marley family. "Marley is a global movement that dedicates itself to music and love, and our goal is to project these feelings to our listeners and fans."

In addition to an uncompromising commitment to premier audio craftsmanship, new products for 2014 continue to incorporate House of Marley's exclusive, upcycled fabric called REWIND TM, a blend of recycled plastic bottles (rPET), organic cotton and reclaimed hemp, along with other earth-friendly materials such as cotton and canvas textiles, recycled plastics, recyclable metals, bamboo and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified woods which combine beauty and durability with an earth-conscious peace-of-mind.
