SRS CS Headphone Solution Available for the First Time on Korean Mobile Phones

Samsung Haptic 8M Incorporates SRS CS Headphone and SRS WOW HD to Restore Natural Sound and Deliver a Compelling and Immersive Audio Experience.

SANTA ANA, Calif., -- SRS Labs (Nasdaq: SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio, and voice technologies, announced that the popular Samsung Haptic 8M mobile phone features the SRS WOW HD(TM) sound solution, and is the first mobile phone in Korea to implement SRS CS Headphone(TM), which creates an immersive surround sound experience over a pair of headphones.

"Being able to store all of your video and music content on a single mobile device is amazingly convenient, and to take that multimedia experience to the next level, SRS sound solutions, such as WOW HD and CS Headphone bring that experience closer to life by restoring the audio component to its naturally immersive state," said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. "It's really exciting for us to continually work with Samsung to incorporate our powerful sound solutions within the Haptic 8M and transform an already stellar device into a superior personalized mobile entertainment device."

SRS WOW HD is a patented audio solution that restores a more natural-sounding audio experience so that multimedia content sounds closer to the way it was originally intended. Through this solution heavily compressed files such as AVI, MOV, MP3 AAC and WAV are optimized to provide more immersive 3D audio, improved bass, greater high-frequency clarity and elevated sound.

SRS CS Headphone is an innovative solution that creates an immersive surround sound experience from 2-channel audio to provide uncompromised surround sound experience over headphones. Through this innovative and powerful mix of SRS technologies, 5.1 audio content that has been matrix-encoded for 2-channel audio is seamlessly separated into front channel and rear channel audio, resulting in a truly enveloping multimedia experience. This SRS solution also dramatically improves the Samsung Haptic 8M's dialog clarity and bass perception.

The Samsung Haptic 8M SCH-W740 is available now throughout Korea, reaffirming SRS' position as the de facto standard for consumer audio solutions within a wide range of consumer electronics including mobile phones. Additional SRS-equipped Samsung mobile phones models expected to launch throughout 2009.
