Increase Safety And Comfort With New John Deere Noise Canceling Headset; Outside the Box, Inc. Designed a New Headset for Blocking Ambient Equipment NoisePINEVILLE, N.C. --(Business Wire)-- Nov. 22, 2005 -- Noise from lawn care and heavy equipment is not just distracting, it can also easily hinder your hearing ability. Homeowners and machine operators can now combat equipment noise with a new, industry-first John Deere Noise Canceling Headset, manufactured by Outside the Box, Inc. Ideal for operating lawn mowers, agricultural equipment or other machinery, the headset features Outside the Box's proprietary noise canceling algorithm for blocking ambient equipment noise. By identifying and silencing these distracting sounds, users can focus on the task at hand, helping ensure their safety. "Noise cancellation is a need for our customers who regularly operate equipment around the home or on-the-job," said Dean Hamke, manager of licensing for John Deere. "Working with Outside the Box, we have created a unique headset that will benefit both the safety and enjoyment of our customers." Strenuously tested, these headphones silence ambient equipment noise while providing increased hearing capacity for essential sounds like children, cars, animals and human speech. A detachable audio cable prevents accidents should it get caught in machinery or another object. With a total weight of nine ounces (the standard is one to two pounds), the John Deere Noise Canceling Headset can be worn comfortably for extended periods of time. It features full size swivel ear cups and is made from material that limits sweating, which makes it ideal for outdoor use. Battery life is approximately 35 hours. The John Deere Noise Canceling Headset will be available at select John Deere dealers and Lowe's Home Improvement stores in January. The headsets will also be available at www.johndeeregifts.com. Suggested retail price is $89.99.
