Contact: RELEASE TO TRADES NOISEBUSTER® ACTIVE NOISE REDUCTION HEADPHONE A MUST-HAVE FOR HIGH-QUALITY IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT FORT PIERCE, Fla., December, 2004 – Anyone who has ever tried to enjoy an in-flight movie will tell you that it is virtually impossible with standard-issue airline headphones. The NoiseBuster® Active Noise Reduction headphone makes in-flight entertainment, well, entertaining. The product electronically reduces irritating, anxiety-provoking, background noise by coupling low-frequency noise waves with their exact mirror image waves. Ideal for use on airplanes as well as buses, trains, on a treadmill or even while mowing the lawn, NoiseBuster can be used in conjunction with in-flight entertainment or portable audio devices for excellent audio quality and clarity without overamplification and distortion. Airlines seem to go to great lengths to provide first run movies and other high-quality video and audio entertainment programming to passengers but then provide the lowest quality headphone. The combination of a very cheap headphone and low-frequency rumbling aircraft cabin noise often renders this programming virtually inaudible and a source of frustration rather than entertainment to the passenger on a long flight. When the NoiseBuster is used instead of the standard-issue airline headphone, the audio quality is excellent. Dialog can be heard clearly and every tone of music is crisp and sharp. Now more and more, possibly because of the problems with airline-provided entertainment, passengers are taking along personal entertainment devices such as portable DVD players and MP3 players. However, even with the higher-quality headphones used with portable devices, the background cabin noise often interferes with audibility. To compensate for the noise (which, in an aircraft cabin, is predominantly in the low frequencies and particularly detrimental to the audibility of speech and certain music tones), users turn up the volume, often by more than 3 decibels over the ambient noise levels. Not only does this type of overamplification distort the audio, dramatically degrading its quality, but prolonged use at these volume levels can be detrimental to hearing. The NoiseBuster allows the user to enjoy audio at reasonable volume levels. NoiseBuster contains patented ANR technology that makes it the highest performing and most stable ANR headphone on the market. The NoiseBuster delivers 18dB of active noise reduction across a wider frequency range than any competitive consumer audio headphone available on the market today. NoiseBuster is one of the best-known and most highly-respected brands in the ANR headphone category. Previous versions of the product have received prestigious recognition and numerous awards from organizations such as Discover Magazine and the Electronic Industries Association. Today there are a variety of noise canceling headphones on the market priced as high as $299. The NoiseBuster delivers more active noise cancellation performance than the highest priced competing headphone for a list price of only $69. The open-back design of the NoiseBuster NB-FX is comfortable for the wearer and folds for portability. The earcups achieve a good ear seal without enclosing the ear in unwieldy, and often hot, closed earcups. The NoiseBuster has been specifically engineered for superior noise reduction and acoustic performance by ANR experts. According to Pro Tech president Richard Hennessey, the product is unmatched by the competition. “There is no other ANR headphone on the market today that can deliver the level of active noise reduction or acoustic performance that is offered by the NoiseBuster NB-FX. Consumers may think they’ve seen this type of product before but in this case hearing—not seeing—is believing. And when you consider our very reasonable price point, the product is simply a tremendous value.” NoiseBuster is available from Pro Tech online at www.protechcommunications.com or by calling 800-468-8371.
