San Francisco, CA – iRingPro, the originator of iPhone Ringtones for Professionals, will post a free downloadable trial pack of its popular iPhone ringtones at iRingPro today.

“We talk a lot about the subtle advances that iRingPro has made in the design of ringtones, but you just don’t appreciate what a profound impact these changes can have on your daily life, not to mention your state of mind, until you live with them.” says iRingPro founder Joel Hladecek. “We’re giving away some of our ringtones for free to expose more users to the product and the iRingPro lifestyle.”

Hladecek is used to raised eyebrows when he explains the benefits of using iRingPro’s ringtones. But he is increasingly accompanied by a growing customer base that shares his enthusiasm.

“At first you think – how different could they be? They’re just ringtones. But that ‘little difference’ has a huge impact when you extend it across the number of times your phone rings every day,” said one poster on iRingPro’s message board. “I’ll confess I didn’t really appreciate it until I used them for a week – and I never want a typical ringtone again.”

Dave Caolo of TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) said of iRingPro “..they really do sound good, in fact I use them today.”

MacWorld printed, “Hot Stuff…these are the ringtones for you.”

“When your phone rings, it’s always an interruption.” says audio engineer and co-creator Jeff Essex. “iRingPro has literally designed around that. And we’ve identified a number of ancient, phone-use conventions that are grossly outdated – their roots in a wired-phone culture. We’ve thrown those out the window, and asked – if we could start over, what should a phone sound like, and more importantly, how it should behave? Sometimes a simple idea can have a big impact, and for a lot of people iRingPro is one of those things.”

The free iPhone ringtone download contains a sample ringtone from each collection including iRingPro’s Tek Collection- a series of ringers inspired by the sophisticated, futuristic devices imagined in movies, the Origin Collection- a suite inspired by the origins of music, and the Zen 2 Collection- a recently upgraded suite of the world’s least intrusive ringtones and the company’s originating collection.

The free iPhone ringtones also include a coupon code that may be used for a discount in the purchase of any complete collection.

“Try the free samples and you’ll see.” Adds Hladecek, “Our devices have taken control of us. iRingPro just takes some of that control back.”
