Contact: RELEASE TO TRADES NOISEBUSTER® ACTIVE NOISE REDUCTION HEADPHONE CAN ENHANCE EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH IN A NOISY WORLD FORT PIERCE, Fla., November, 2004 -- A new and improved model of the award-winning NoiseBuster® active noise reduction (ANR) headphone is now available to the consumer audio market. NoiseBuster NB-FX electronically reduces irritating, anxiety-provoking, background noise by coupling low-frequency noise waves with their exact mirror image waves. Ideal for use on airplanes, while exercising, commuting or mowing the lawn, NoiseBuster can be used on its own for simple peace and quiet or in conjunction with a portable audio device for excellent music clarity without overamplification and distortion. 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 have received prestigious recognition and numerous awards from organizations such as Discover Magazine and the Electronic Industries Association. Low-frequency noise is particularly detrimental to the audibility of speech and certain music tones. While using a portable audio device in a noisy setting such as on an airplane, bus, train or while walking in a noisy city or on a motorized treadmill, the presence of low frequency noise causes a user to 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. In addition to a risk of hearing loss, noise poses other potential threats to human health. Excessive noise causes stress and anxiety and has even been linked to physical reactions such as high blood pressure. Low frequency noise waves are particularly problematic because the noise waves are long and can pass through passive barriers such as a cement wall or the human body. These waves cannot be easily attenuated using traditional earplugs or earmuffs. 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. “Low frequency noise can be a problem for people and an ANR headset is really the best way to reduce this noise. 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.
