Hybra Advance Technology Launches Revolutionary Wireless Headset

TRAVERSE CITY -- Hybra Advance Technology Inc., a product development company dedicated to bringing innovative technology to the marketplace, today announced the launch of Sound Band, a wireless headset that employs surface-excitation sound production technology to produce sound quality that is unparalleled in today's personal audio market.

Sound Band's surface-excitation technology allows the device to be placed behind the ear, not inside or covering the ear as earbuds and conventional headphones are used. This design provides superior audio quality with crisp treble and resonant bass, all while allowing the wearer to remain aware of ambient sound in the immediate environment.

"The quality of the audio that sound band delivers has to be experienced to be truly appreciated," said Hybra Technology CFO Ryan Wells. "The surface-excitation technology, audio compression algorithms and convenient hands-free design enable consumers to enjoy high-quality audio while maintaining an awareness of their surroundings. It's a winning combination that will fundamentally change the personal audio industry for both consumer and business applications."

Using proprietary Waves Maxx Audio technology initially developed for the film and gaming industries, Sound Band delivers a rich acoustical treatment of music, phone conversations and other recorded media while allowing for normal conversations to occur.

While this new technology is a perfect fit for music and mobile telephony, Sound Band also is ideal for gaming, museum tours, police and military communications, industrial settings and many other personal audio applications.

Hybra Advance has locations in Traverse City and Warren.
