Hello Direct Announces Breakthrough New Ultra Lightweight Telephone Headset

    SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Hello Direct, Inc.
(Nasdaq: HELO), the leading developer and direct marketer of a broad range of
telephone productivity tools, today announced the latest addition to its line
of corded headset products, the Ultralight(R) EX(TM).  The Ultralight EX
telephone headset incorporates the latest in lightweight ergonomic design to
achieve the highest possible level of comfort in a headband-style headset.
    Using input and suggestions from its large installed base of telephone
intensive headset users, Hello Direct designed the new Ultralight EX headset
for maximum comfort, high quality transmit and receive sound, and a stylishly
attractive appearance.  These are the three key benefits the users said they
want in a telephone headset.
    The headset delivers added comfort via a 20% reduction in overall weight
compared to Hello Direct's previous best-selling Ultralight headset, while
incorporating a thicker headband, pivoting speaker, and a wider headpad.  The
combination of these new features results in a headset that, according to test
users, is "an absolute pleasure to wear" and "so comfortable, you almost
forget it's there."
    The headset delivers the goal of excellent sound quality by using a
high-performance speaker coupled with a new, patent pending Sound-Directing
speaker cone which reduces outside noise and increases the clarity and volume
of the caller's voice.  Ultralight EX also incorporates an improved
noise-canceling microphone to transmit the user's voice more clearly with less
background noise.
    The Ultralight EX combines its comfort and sound quality features with
sleek, modern styling in gray and black.  The result is a telephone headset
meeting the needs and desires of all types of users -- from telephone
intensive professionals and phone-dependent call center representatives to
home-office and casual users.
    The Ultralight EX is available in two styles, each bundled with a choice
of Hello Direct telephone headset amplifiers.  The single-ear model retails
between $179.99 and $199.99 depending on the amplifier chosen, and the
dual-ear model retails between $209.99 and $229.99.  The products can be
ordered directly from the Hello Direct catalog by calling 1-800-Hi-Hello
(800-444-3556), or through the company's award-winning web site at
