10/2/2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ACOUSTICLOBE INC. GIVES IPOD/MP3 OWNERS NEW PLACE TO STICK THEIR EARBUDS
Consumers Unsatisfied With Earbuds Find Comfort with Lobie™


According to Acousticlobe’s President and CEO, Tom Dean, there exist an appreciable number of consumers who disfavor earbuds. Moreover, he believes that consumers will welcome a supplemental way to wear and enjoy earbuds. The genius of Apple’s iPod™ in the invention of the earbud is that earbuds are extremely portable as compared with prior devices. Mr. Dean has invented a portable earbud accessory trade named Lobie™ giving consumers a choice they’ve not had until now. Lobie™ places the earbud just along side the wearer’s ear without the need to insert the earbud into the wearer’s ear canal. In Mr. Dean’s words, Lobie™ “floats the earbud on an acoustic cushion of air”. Lobie™ provides a passive secure fit during casual and active uses such as jogging, skateboarding, rollerblading, etc and is also an option for safety conscious consumers not wanting to completely close off the ability to hear their surroundings.

One customer is quoted as saying, "Love the Lobie, I thought I would never be able to use my earbuds, they wouldn't stay in my ears. The Lobie kept the earbuds perfectly secure in my ears, and they are so comfortable I fell asleep with them on. I have different earbuds for different devices; I wish I had a pair of Lobies for every device."

Another adds, “It is definitely a new experience. My ears are not throbbing after I use them.”

A 12 year old boy says, “I like to wear them while playing video games. I also like to go sleep listening to music and Lobies feel good when I lay my head on my pillow.”

Another says, "I think that Lobies are a clever solution to earbuds falling out. They'd be really great for jogging & exercise."

Acousticlobe Incorporated was founded in 2006 with the development of Lobie™, “Earbud’s New Accessory”. Lobie™ is a patent pending American made product sold exclusively online at www.MyLobie.com. MyLobie.com is accepting pre-orders now with an estimated ship date of November 1st, 2007. Acousticlobe’s CEO, Tom Dean is also President/CEO of InspiroMEDIA Corporation, a professional services firm providing patent and trademark illustration services to IP Law Firms and Corporations nationwide.
