  SRS Labs’ MyTunes Pro Wins About.com’s Coveted Readers Choice Award for Best iPhone Music App

  Informatic No Comments

  SRS Labs (NASDAQ:SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio enhancement, and voice post-processing technologies, announced today that its new MyTunes Pro™ app, the most feature-rich, audio enhancing music player application ever developed for the iPhone®, has been awarded with About.com’s prestigious Reader’s Choice Award, for the category of Best Music App.

  “We are passionate about letting the world hear audio as it was meant to be heard. Mobile device and accessory makers, however, tend to not be as passionate about audio quality given that the majority of portable entertainment products and accessories like headphones and speakers on the market today are simply incapable of reproducing great audio, which is why we felt compelled to create MyTunes Pro, the most advanced music player app ever developed,” said Allen H. Gharapetian, Senior Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. “We are humbled by About.com’s recognition and accolade of our latest app, and feel that having earned this celebrated award pays homage to our passion and validates the hard work put in by our product application development, marketing and engineering teams.” Continue reading »
