Earphones With Patented Acoustic Isolation System Provides Increased Comfort and Protection

PINEVILLE, N.C.--Nov. 2, 20059, 2005--The buzz of cars speeding around the track is one of the most exciting sounds in car racing. It's also the most uncomfortable - and potentially damaging. To protect the comfort and hearing of race fans, Outside the Box, Inc. introduces the new RaceQuiet(TM) Earphones.

"Our new RaceQuiet Earphones allow fans to enjoy their race experience to the fullest, without being distracted by the discomfort and pain that sometimes accompanies such an exceptionally loud environment," said David Dillinger, executive vice president of Outside the Box, Inc. "Using the earphones' patented noise reduction technology, race fans can not only enjoy a quieter race, but they also have the option to listen to race scanners, radio commentary or music on a portable electronic device."

The RaceQuiet Earphones feature an Acoustic Isolation System(TM) (AIS) which provides 42 decibels of noise reduction across the entire sound spectrum, allowing race fans to enjoy maximum comfort in extreme noise environments. The AIS utilizes state-of-the-art electronics and miniaturization processes based on the same patented technology used by the U.S. military.

In addition to noise reduction, the earphones feature high quality audio reproduction and are compatible with scanners and other portable electronic devices, including iPods(R). The earphones have a nearly four foot long cord for easy input. Replaceable memory foam ear canal tips ensure a cozy, snug fit, and at a weight of only 1.5 ounces, the RaceQuiet Earphones can be comfortably worn for extended periods of time.

The RaceQuiet Earphones are available for $39.95. Included with the earphones are a carrying tin and replacement tips. The RaceQuiet Earphones are available at all NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series races. For more information or to purchase the earphones, visit www.racequiet.com.
