Each winner will receive a Sound Egg equipped for playing your favorite Britney Spears songs. The Sound Egg is an acoustically perfect, egg-shaped chair that has been fitted with surround sound speakers for a uniquely personalized listening experience. As both an audio chair and gaming chair it completely engrosses users in their choice pursuit, creating a personalized reprieve from their daily lives. Since its debut, the Sound Egg has been featured at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), and on the cover of the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue. During last year’s CES show, attendees marveled at how quickly the outside environment seemed to disappear and noted the corresponding richness of their experience inside the chair.

The Sound Egg is the brainchild of Acousticom president Mark Cochran, and was specifically designed to provide refuge from the stresses of daily living in an increasingly frenetic world. Acousticom has pioneered a field of technological development that has gained tremendous attention at CES, E3 and in the industry at large. “Technology products often focus on pure function without taking into account the humans interacting with those products,” says Mr. Cochran. “By paying careful attention to how consumers would prefer to use the technology, we created an environment in which they can relax and feel comfortable.”

Acousticom Corporation was founded by Benjamin and Jean Cochran in October of 1980, and recently celebrated its 30th year in business. Acousticom built its reputation producing American-made, quality microphones, earphones, cable assemblies and headsets for leaders in aviation and military technology. The 2010 launch of the Sound Egg marked Acousticom’s debut in the world of consumer electronics.

ACOUSTICOM INTRODUCES THE MEDITATION STATION CHAIR PRESENTED BY GOODTRUEBEAUTIFUL, INC.

Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7. 2011 – Acousticom Corporation today announced the Meditation Station™ Chair presented by GoodTrueBeautiful, Inc., a refinement of Acousticom’s Sound Egg Audio Chair that makes the already-beneficial practice of meditation even more effective and easier to incorporate into daily life. Acousticom, located in CES booth 5321 in the North Hall, Grand Lobby, is demonstrating the Sound Egg Chair throughout the 2011 International CES. Live demonstrations of the Meditation Station Chair are available at the GoodTrueBeautiful store in Washington, D.C.

As explained by Joel Cochran, Acousticom’s Director of Public Relations, “The Meditation Station™ utilizes the Sound Egg’s isolation features to achieve serenity.” By incorporating those isolation features, the Meditation Station™ becomes a ready-made sanctuary from the noise and distraction of everyday life. It provides an enveloping cocoon that makes it easy to effect the transition from the daily fray to a place of serenity and peaceful isolation. For many people, finding a private space away from distractions is a real obstacle to getting the most out of a meditation session. The Meditation Station™ makes it possible to experience that place of peace and silence whenever the time is right.

Acousticom has recognized that not everyone gets the most out of meditating in complete silence. For those who find sounds conducive to meditation, the Sound Egg Chair includes built-in speakers that provide an unparalleled audio experience. This is the perfect environment for listening to ambient or natural sounds on CD or for experiencing recordings specifically designed to enhance the practice of meditation. With or without sound, there is no better way to create a personal retreat from distraction and stress, and nothing else that so easily welcomes the meditative state of mind.

The Meditation Station™ is presented by GoodTrueBeautiful, Inc. and a live demonstration is available at its store located in Union Station in Washington, D.C. As part of its mission, GoodTrueBeautiful donates 10% of the proceeds of its sales to the Golden Phoenix Foundation, a charitable organization. The mission of the Golden Phoenix Foundation, in light of the widespread neglect and institutionalization of orphaned children in many countries, is to end child abandonment throughout the world.

The Sound Egg chair, which made its debut at CES in Las Vegas in January 2010, is the latest in a long line of innovative products by Acousticom Corporation. Acousticom was founded by Ben and Jean Cochran in October of 1980; the company recently celebrated its 30th year in business. During those thirty years, Acousticom has produced topnotch microphones, earphones, cable assemblies and headsets. Their customers include many major aerospace companies and the Department of Defense. A series of exciting changes – especially the debut of the Sound Egg audio chair – have recently brought Acousticom back into the limelight.

The Womb Chair: The Precursor to the Egg Chair

Most experts agree that the “Womb Chair,” which was designed by Finnish-American architect and designer Eero Saarinen in 1948, was the precursor to the modern-day egg chair. Although the Womb Chair didn’t enclose the person who sat on it, it did wrap around him in a subtle way. Its name, of course, refers to a mother’s womb.

The Original Egg Chair Debuts in Copenhagen

The first piece of furniture that was officially dubbed the “egg chair” was a work by the Danish designer and architect Arne Jacobsen. Jacobsen designed the Egg Chair exclusively for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, where it caused quite a stir. It was only produced in very limited quantities and wasn’t made available for general purchase. Part of the reason for its limited release had to do with exclusivity – had the chair been mass-produced, it would have lost a lot of its allure. Another part of the reason for its limited release had to do with the fact that it was very difficult to produce.

Jacobsen Egg Chairs have since appeared in many different places; 999 of them were produced in honor of the 50th anniversary of the egg chair in 2008. Sightings of the Jacobsen Egg Chair have been made at a McDonald’s in London, as well as at a McDonald’s in Copenhagen – which is, of course, quite fitting.

The Ovalia Takes a New Spin on the Egg Chair

There’s no question that the Danish designer Henrik Thor-Larsen was heavily influenced by his compatriot, Arne Jacobsen. In 1968, Larsen debuted his own egg chair – which he christened the Ovalia – at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair. Unlike Jacobsen’s limited edition egg chair, though, Larsen’s Ovalia was mass produced. In fact, hundreds of Ovalia egg chairs were produced between 1968 and 1978, when production ceased. A much-ballyhooed relaunch of the Ovalia egg chair took place in 2005.

Sound Meets Comfort: The Egg Sound Chair Debuts

Looking back, it seems odd that the designers of the first egg chairs didn’t think to include surround sound audio in their creations. Of course, sound technology was a lot more expensive and complex in those days. Around the year 1976, though, Starkey Industries produced the first honest-to-goodness egg chair with speakers. Not a lot is known about the Starkey egg chair, but it undoubtedly set the stage for the audio-enabled egg chairs of the future.

Lee West’s Alpha Chamber Egg Chair

The 1970′s was an important decade for the egg chair. Around the same time that the Egg Sound Chair premiered, Lee West designed the Alpha Chamber egg chair. This egg chair was outfitted with speakers and was, apparently, relatively popular. The scene in Sleepless in Seattle, in which the boy named Jonah lounges in an egg chair, features a Lee West Alpha Chamber. In fact, many specimens from the 70′s exist to this day.

Egg Chairs versus Pod Chairs

Scenes in the films Men in Black and Dazed and Confused featured egg chairs that could more aptly be described as pod chairs. In fact, they very well could have been versions of the Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio. Many people interchangeably refer to ball chairs as pod chairs, and both names convey the round shape of this type of chair. Unlike the egg chair, these chairs do not boast oval shapes. Many people agree, though, that the appearance of the egg chair in Men in Black rekindled interest in these unique pieces of furniture.

The Sound Egg Chair: Today’s Hottest Egg Chair

As surprising as it may seem, egg chairs have existed – in one form or another – since the middle of the 20th century. For the 21st century, though, an exceptional and modern egg chair is on the market: the Sound Egg Chair by Acousticom. The Sound Egg Chair boasts impeccable audio capabilities, enveloping the user in an incredible surround sound experience. Furthermore, it can be custom-designed to suit anyone’s style needs. The Sound Egg Chair is currently available; by purchasing one, you can pay homage to the design innovations of several incredibly talented designers – and to the technical innovations of one of today’s best audio companies.

One thing’s for sure: Anyone who lays eyes on an Egg Chair is immediately taken with its appearance.

An Added Bonus…

One of the great perks of ordering products through Hammacher Schlemmer is the fact that the retailer offers a lifetime warranty on everything that they sell. Therefore, you can enjoy the exceptional benefits of the Egg Chair along with the backing of a highly reputable retailer. With that kind of guarantee, there’s no good reason not to invest in this exciting product. There’s no other audio chair out there that comes close to matching the Sound Egg’s amazing characteristics.

Put on a Quality Demo without a Lot of Noise

You can even set up several Sound Eggs in a row without hearing a peep from a single one of them. All the while, guests will be immersed in unforgettable sound experiences.

Attract Attention with High-Quality Design

The Sound Egg was designed to be used as a type of exhibitor equipment. Acousticom needed a way to demonstrate its noise-canceling technology at trade shows. It actually debuted as a form of tradeshow equipment, but it was quickly apparent that people were drawn to the Acousticom booth due to the Sound Egg’s unique and attractive appearance. Its smooth lines and bright, bold design capture the attention of passersby unlike anything else. It’s little wonder that so many organizations rent or buy Sound Eggs for their own trade show booths.

Form Meets Function for Trade Show Demonstrations

Finding a way to attract attention and putting on engaging, high-quality demos are important aspects of any trade show experience. With the Sound Egg, you can kill two birds with one very attractive stone. Whether you rent an Egg Chair or invest in one, you’re sure to be blown away by the difference that it makes for your audio and video demonstrations.
