While only currently available for pre-order, details on SMS Audio have emerged.

SMS Audio, LLC (www.SMSby50.com ), a premier audio headphone and accessories brand, today announces pre-order availability for its highly-anticipated Sync by 50 wireless headphone and Street by 50™ wired headphone. Developed under CEO 50 Cent’s creative direction, the SMS Audio line aims to blend advanced technology with modern design to provide the highest-caliber headphones for all who appreciate professional sound quality. The unique Sync by 50 headphones integrate Kleer wireless technology and is the only wireless headphone to incorporate full on-board controls offering an unparalleled, crystal-clear wireless range.

50’s fans currently have the option of pre-ordering two different sets of headphones.

The Sync by 50 wireless headphones feature 40mm drivers and are professionally tuned to produce unparalleled sound quality, providing the listener with non-compressed, CD-quality audio. Utilizing Kleer wireless technology to streamline and share the music experience, up to four listeners can simultaneously rock from a single source. The second offering in the line, Street by 50, is an exceptional wired-style headphone equipped with professionally-tuned 40mm drivers to deliver crisp clean sound, enhanced bass and passive noise-canceling capabilities. Sync by 50 and Street by 50 have an MSRP of $399.95 and $299.95, respectively. Both headphones are now available for pre-order at www.smsby50.com with an estimated ship date of December 5th.

Last January, 50 publicly unveiled a headphones venture by Sleek.

Ludacris and 50 Cent, two rappers, actors and entrepreneurs, unveiled their own respective lines of headphones at CES this year. Ludacris showed off a 5-model line branded Soul by Ludacris, and produced by a company called Signeo. And 50 Cent unveiled his own headphones, called Sleek by 50 Cent, which will be made by H&H Imports, a company that last year signed Hulk Hogan on as the sponsor of a line of home cleaning products called PumMax.

After things turned sour by the spring, 50 and Sleek parted ways eventually resulting in him launching SMS Audio.

In actuality, it was G-Unit that terminated a Brand Licensing Agreement that it had entered into with Sleek, which termination automatically triggered the termination of the earlier announced tri-party agreement. However, not long after the termination of the tri-party agreement, TV Goods and 50 Cent, via his affiliate company, SMS Audio, LLC, entered into a Term Sheet for the two parties to continue joint efforts to produce and distribute a direct response television infomercial to globally market a wireless over-the-ear headphone product offered or sold by SMS that is endorsed by and/or and bears the name of “50 Cent.” Sleek is not a party to that Term Sheet.

SMS By 50 is expected to hit retail outlets by next month.
