Lake Mary, Fla., August 8, 2011 – Soul Electronics, a global leader in pro and consumer audio manufacturing, has announced its premium, top-of-the-line, over-ear, noise cancelling headphones are now shipping nationwide – available in a trendy gold and black color combination or classic black and white.

Retailers carrying the noise cancelling SL300 model include: BestBuy, Amazon, Buy, Brookstone, AAFES, Microsoft, Huppins, Vann’s, Target, RadioShack, Bobbizzo.

Made in collaboration with Grammy award winning artist and newly released Fast Five star, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, the SL300s complete the five-model round-up in this elite series of high-performance over-ear, on-ear and in-ear headphones.

“Our retail partners have embraced the SOUL® brand with open arms, and ears. We are thrilled to deliver the high-performance sound caliber they, and their customers, expect with stylish, trend-setting aesthetics to match,” said Bob Bonefant, Founder of Soul Electronics. “We have no doubt in our minds that the SOUL® brand and the SL300 model, in particular, will be popular with professionals, tasteful travelers, and music lovers everywhere.”

“Soul did an exceptional job marrying form and function with their SL300s.” commented Brian Gluck, Manager of Headphones.com “With punchy yet controlled bass, a midrange which allows the vocals to shine and slightly subdued highs for a mellow tonality, the SL300s deliver great sound and impressive style. They have quickly become a new favorite around the office as well as in my personal collection. The noise cancellation is highly effective, and can be turned off to save battery life while still outputting good sound, which is unlike most other noise cancelling headphones.”

The SL300 model offers superior noise cancellation technology combined with sleek style and professional sound. The comfortable over-ear design seals in sound and blocks out ambient noise, for a truly private listening experience. It boasts powerful sound amplification for studio quality balance of deep bass and crystal clear mids and highs. The convenient foldable design and hard protective case makes these the ideal headphones for the on-the-go music professional or elite traveler. Plus, it comes with a 3.5 mm to ¼ inch adaptor for easy transitioning from MP3 players to amps. The premium Gold or Black/White color combinations add distinctive style and unique flair.
