Ultimate Ears 100 Noise-Isolating Earphones Let You Express
Yourself with Five Original Designs
FREMONT, Calif., Sep 02, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Music is as diverse as the people who listen to it. With this in mind,
Ultimate Ears, a product unit of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI),
today introduced the Ultimate
Ears 100 Noise-Isolating Earphones in five music genre-inspired
designs. Whether your MP3 player is filled with electro beats or urban
funk, the Ultimate Ears 100 allows you to match your mood to your
musical tastes. And, because these earphones are tuned by the same
engineers who tune stage earphones for your favorite artists, you know
you're getting superior acoustics.
"Many performing artists we work with enjoy putting personal artwork on
their stage in-ear monitors as an additional form of self expression,"
said Philippe Depallens, Logitech vice president and general manager of
the Ultimate Ears business. "Now, with the Ultimate Ears 100 collection,
we've created a way for our retail customers to do the same - giving
them five killer designs to choose from. Now you can feel a connection
to the design of your earphones, as well as the music coming out of
them."
On top of delivering superior acoustics, the Ultimate Ears 100 earphones
also feature up to 24 dBs of noise isolation so you can enjoy your music
without distraction. Additionally, each pair of earphones comes with
four sizes of ear cushions so you get a snug, comfortable fit for
periods of extended listening. And, the earphones are designed for
rock-solid durability.
"Whether I am using my in-ear monitors on stage during a live
performance, in the studio during a recording session or on a plane
listening to music on my iPod, everything comes through so clearly,"
said recording-artist Seal. "With Ultimate Ears, singing - and listening
- becomes a simple pleasure."
Inspired Design
To help you find earphones that help you express your style, musical
preferences, or just your favorite color, Ultimate Ears developed five
designs that are radically different - just like you.
Inspired by the stylistic elements of hip hop, the Ultimate Ears 100
Green Cells features a shiny black casing accented with vibrant green
silicone ear cushions and urban-flavored artwork.
For those with a creative edge, the Ultimate Ears 100 Red Blossom takes
its inspiration from the distinct imaginative concepts that songwriters
use to compile new songs. Whether you're enjoying Alicia Keys, LIGHTS or
Miranda Lambert, these earphones are the perfect extension of your
eclectic taste.
Evoking an electronic feel, the Ultimate Ears 100 Purple Splatter
presents a crisp white casing that's accented with purple ear cushions
and matching artwork. Influenced by synthesized, electro tracks, the
Ultimate Ears 100 Purple Splatter blends perfectly with everything from
the reggae beats of Pepper to the gritty mixes of DJ Shy.
Emboldened with striking artwork and a metal grey housing, the Ultimate
Ears 100 Grey Industry reflects the strong rock chords that influenced
its creation. Taking its cue from the stage presence of bands such as
Switchfoot and Sugar Ray, the Ultimate Ears 100 Grey Industry embodies
the excitement of the best rock bands in performance.
The Ultimate Ears 100 Blue Robots features a blue robot on each earphone
- and includes a deep blue cable and aqua blue ear cushions. Inspired by
the proud independence of the hipster culture, the Ultimate Ears 100
Blue Robots is the perfect mix of originality and simplicity.
Pricing and Availability
The suggested retail price for all variations of the Ultimate Ears 100
Noise-Isolating Earphones is $19.99 (U.S.). The new Ultimate Ears 100
earphones are expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in
September.
