NOX Audio on Track for Hit with Admiral Headset at E3 2011, Featuring T-Pain

City of Industry, Calif. – May 25, 2011 – NOX Audio is bringing its audio uprising to this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) with the help of the Grammy Award-winning artist T-Pain, who will make an appearance in the NOX booth during the convention. One of music’s biggest names, T-Pain is now the official spokesperson for NOX’s Admiral line of headsets, the highly-anticipated wireless, surround-sound products NOX unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this year.

T-Pain is widely known by music fans thanks to hits such as “Buy U a Drank,” “Best Love Song,” “Can’t Believe It” and “Bartender,” as well as for his collaborations with some of music’s most popular artists, including Justin Timberlake, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. T-Pain even showed his comedic side, entertaining audiences when he stepped out of the box to collaborate with comedy troupe The Lonely Island. The artist became part of a pop-culture cult classic when his collaboration with Lonely Island, “I’m on a Boat,” skyrocketed to success on Saturday Night Live and lit up the internet.

“Music is my life; I’m constantly working with new technologies and products, and I consider myself a tech-savvy guy,” said T-Pain. “NOX’s Admiral product line is awesome for all types of audio lovers, and the headsets are the kind of thing I would buy for myself.”

Featuring Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround Sound and Bluetooth functionality, the Admiral is expected to be a one-of-a-kind headset, peerless in terms of connectivity and usability. NOX also is developing an upgraded model, the Admiral Touch, which will boast both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability along with a built-in LCD touchscreen powered by the Android operating system (OS) – a first in the audio industry.

“Bringing T-Pain on board to be an official part of the Admiral launch is a key part of NOX’s audio revolution,” said Julie Ma, president of NOX Audio. “His legendary status as a performer and in the recording industry overall makes him a perfect match for the Admiral – the most advanced and ground-breaking headset line yet.”

The Admiral Touch will support applications and gesture controls to create an immersive gaming and home theater experience. The standard Admiral headset can be upgraded to the Admiral Touch at any time by purchasing an easy-to-install upgrade Touch module.

NOX will feature a working prototype at E3 2011 in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, booth 5706, shown by appointment only. NOX’s other products, the Specialist, Negotiator and Scout, will be available in listening stations on the show floor. NOX also will host an appearance by T-Pain at E3 on Tuesday, June 7 at 3 p.m. PT in the NOX booth, with guest DJ’s spinning at other times throughout the duration of the convention. Qualified press can schedule an appointment to demo the Admiral by contacting Racheal Caswell at Wonacott Communications (rcaswell@wonacottpr.com).

City of Industry, Calif.– Jan. 4, 2011 – NOX Audio is set to unleash an audio revolution with its Admiral and Admiral Touch, the first TruWireless (trademark pending) headsets, scheduled to debut in late 2011. Featuring 7.1-channel surround sound with mobile Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi connectivity, the Admiral and Admiral Touch enable full wireless audio and communication on game consoles for the first time. In addition to these features, the Admiral Touch also will include a 2.4-inch LCD touch screen with gesture control, powered by Google’s Android™ operating system – a never-before-seen feature in a headset. A functional prototype of the Admiral Touch will be unveiled at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nev., from Jan. 6-9, 2011.

Powered by the Android OS, the Admiral Touch takes full advantage of available streaming music including Pandora, and VoIP applications such as MSN chat and Skype, thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. With 7.1-channel digital surround sound, the Admiral and Admiral Touch create an immersive experience for playing video games, listening to music and watching movies, as well as crisp, clear audio for phone calls, making it the only truly wireless headset available on the market. Featuring rotating ear-cups that double as a loudspeaker, both headsets will offer maximum versatility and compatibility with PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PCs, personal music players such as the iPod, home theaters and cell phones and all other electronic devices with a standard 3.5 mm jack and/or any devices with built-in bluetooth. A removable and rechargeable Li-Ion battery provides more than five hours of battery life for optimal usage with any compatible product.

“When NOX was developing the Admiral, we considered all available technology to create a truly revolutionary – yet easy-to-use – product that pushes the limits and takes headset listening to a new level, for an attainable price,” said Julie Ma, president of NOX Audio. “In addition to giving the Admiral high-quality audio reproduction and 7.1-channel surround sound, we included a ‘Touch’ version with the functionality of the Android OS to make the headset truly versatile. The Admiral is a product like no other, and CES is the perfect venue for us to introduce it to the public.”

NOX Audio Scouts Out Sleeker Design for Active Music Fans with New In-Ear Headset

City of Industry, Calif.– Nov. 16, 2010 – NOX Audio introduces the Scout headset, the second in its line of audiophile-quality products. The Scout features the latest in high-efficiency balanced armature technology and is tuned to deliver exemplary bass and a wide, clean, dynamic sound range. Design elements of the Scout were created with active lifestyles in mind: Flexible silicone fins comfortably secure the earbud inside the ear which hold the headphones in place while running, exercising or traveling. The Scout’s stylish square and flat cables help reduce cord tangles, and the “world’s smallest” send/end button is located right at the Y-split of the headset for convenience.

The Scout is the latest product to demonstrate NOX’s continued commitment to delivering high quality audio experience to the masses. It uses high-performance 6mm balanced armature drivers with bass extension to provide tight bass, well-controlled and balanced mids and crystal-clear highs. The discreet inline 3mm electrets omni-directional mic provides high fidelity voice pick-up that works with cell phones for making voice calls on-the-go.

“When we designed the Scout, we were really focused onimproving the overall audio experienceby making a product for people who need a versatile headset to match their dynamic lifestyle,” said Julie Ma, president of NOX Audio. “This is a headset people will use on-the-go, working out at the gym, running at the beach or just relaxing with some music at the end of the day. It’s sleek, compact and doesn’t sacrifice audio for cost, while providing features comparable to those of similar products priced at twice as much.”

The Scout is available now from NOX-Audio.com and retailers nationwide for $79.99, and is compatible with all devices that use a standard 3.5mm stereo jack. Like the Specialist, the Scout works with NOX’s Negotiator universal gaming optical audio adapter, which provides digital audio compatibility with the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

NOX Audio Negotiator Connects Gamers to their Favorite Consoles

City of Industry, Calif. – July 20, 2010 – The NOX Audio Negotiator Universal Optical Gaming Adapter is now available, connecting gamers’ Xbox 360 and PS3 to the NOX Audio Specialist or any other compatible stereo or PC headsets with a standard 3.5mm jack. The Negotiator eliminates the need for multiple headsets for different gaming consoles and cuts through the confusion of cross-platform compatibility. Key features of the gaming audio peripheral include:

• Simple User Interface: The interchangeable interfaces allow users to connect quickly and easily to PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. A PC and console compatible  USB dongle docks onto the Xbox 360, Xbox360 slim ,PlayStation 3 & PC USB port, giving the user total command over game and chat audio.

• Control at Your Fingertips: The Negotiator’s well-placed audio/chat mixer knob allows the user to quickly tweak the balance of game audio volume and chat volume independently instead of disturbing gameplay and going into the audio menu. Users can quickly increase the volume during crucial co-op gaming moments and shut out background chatter when it becomes annoying.

• Enhanced Digital Experience: An integrated optical 3.5 mm audio connection delivers crisp, clean stereo sound, optimizing the listening experience in games, music and movies.

• One Adapter to Rule them all:Utilizing an included optical input cable, the Negotiator is USB compliant and compatible with any standard stereo or PC headset on the market.

“We kept the gamer in mind in making the Negotiator – thinking of every way to improve gaming audio control and performance and deliver it through the adapter,” said Julie Ma, president and founder of NOX Audio. “No one wants to spend money on a product that only works with one device, forcing them to spend more money on more audio gear, and now the Negotiator bridges the gap between gaming and lifestyle headsets, with the quality for which NOX is fast becoming known.”

The Negotiator is available online as a standalone unit for $59.99 or in a bundled package with the Specialist for $99.99 at the NOX Audio Website and Amazon.com.

Hi-Fidelity Sound Hits the Streets

City of Industry, Calif. – June 16, 2010 – NOX Audio, a new, direct-to-consumer brand by Solteras Incorporated, a developer of leading-edge audio and acoustic products, introduces the Specialist, a portable and lightweight headset compatible with virtually all media devices, including PCs, iPods, portable gaming systems and cell phones.

The Specialist offers four 26 mm Mylar drivers and innovative acoustic technology, providing rich and deep bass while preserving all the nuances of mid- and high-frequency sounds as well as ultra low distortion similar to high end precision audio systems. The 4.8-ounce headset delivers an audio punch without the extra weight, bulk and discomfort that plague similar products. Fold-up hinges, ultra-light memory foam ear pads and a four millimeter retractable microphone hidden in the left ear cup add to the portability and versatility of the product as well.

“We’ve studied what today’s consumer wants – and we created a product that delivers,” said Julie Ma, president of NOX Audio. “There’s no reason to sacrifice audio quality for comfort and portability, nor should a good gaming headset be bulky and uncomfortable. We at NOX expect no less and neither should our customers: The Specialist is our answer to the demands of what the Audio Elite require.”

The Specialist is available now in a range of colors, including electric green, vibrant red, classic black or sleek blue, from NOX-Audio.com and Amazon.com for $79.99. The ultimate bundled gaming package, which includes the Negotiator, will soon be available for $99.99.

NOX is showcasing the Specialist at E3 in the Los Angeles Convention Center through June 17, 2010 in booths including Warner Bros and THQ. Expo attendees who stop by the NOX Audio booth (South Hall, Booth 520) will have the chance to get an “ears-on” look at the Specialist, in addition to a sneak peek at NOX’s upcoming product, the Scout in-ear headset.
