NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held June 8, 2009

Dear Stockholders:

        You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of InfoSonics Corporation to be held on June 8, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) at the conference center located at 4370 La Jolla Village Drive, Suite 210, San Diego, California 92121, for the following purposes:

    1.
    To elect five directors nominated by the Board of Directors, each to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until a successor is elected and qualified;

    2.
    To ratify the selection of SingerLewak LLP as InfoSonics' independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009; and

    3.
    To consider and vote upon such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

        The complete text of these proposals and the reasons the Board of Directors has proposed their adoption are contained in the accompanying proxy statement, and you are urged to carefully study them.

        Only the stockholders of record as shown on our transfer books at the close of business on April 27, 2008, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Our Annual Report to Stockholders (which includes our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008), is being mailed to stockholders with this proxy statement and an accompanying proxy card. The Annual Report is not part of the proxy soliciting material. We intend to mail this proxy statement, the Annual Report and the accompanying proxy card on or about May 7, 2009, to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

        All stockholders, regardless of whether they expect to attend the meeting in person, are requested to complete, date, sign and return promptly the enclosed form of proxy card in the accompanying envelope (which requires no postage if mailed in the United States). The person executing the proxy card may revoke it by filing with our Corporate Secretary an instrument of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by electing to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you must request and obtain a valid proxy issued in your name from that record holder.

        For the reasons stated herein, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" the first two proposals listed above and described in this proxy statement. Your vote is important no matter how many shares you own. To be sure that your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card. This will not prevent you from attending and voting your shares in person. Prompt return of your proxy card will reduce InfoSonics' expenses in this matter.

    By Order of the Board of Directors

PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held June 8, 2009

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

Why am I receiving this proxy material?

        We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors of InfoSonics Corporation is soliciting your proxy to vote at its 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card.

        We intend to mail this proxy statement, the Annual Report and the accompanying proxy card on or about May 7, 2009, to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

        Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 27, 2009, the record date for the Annual Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were approximately 14,752,000 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Who is a stockholder of record?

        If, at the close of business on the record date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

        If, at the close of business on the record date, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at or otherwise by a brokerage firm, bank or other agent, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and proxy material is being forwarded to you by that entity. The entity holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you may direct your broker, bank or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy issued in your name from your broker, bank or other agent.

What am I voting on?

        You are being asked to vote on the following two proposals:

    Election of five directors nominated by the Board of Directors, each to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until a successor is elected and qualified; and

    Ratification of the selection of SingerLewak LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

Table of Contents

How do I vote?

        Following the instructions included on your proxy card, you are urged to mark the boxes on the proxy card to indicate how to vote your shares. For the election of directors, you may either vote "For" or "Against" any nominee or "Withhold" your vote for any nominee you specify. For any other matter to be voted on, you may vote "For" or "Against" or abstain from voting on the matter. The procedures for voting depend on whether you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner of shares.

        Stockholder of Record.    If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Alternatively, you may vote by proxy by using the enclosed proxy card. To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.

        Beneficial Owner.    If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent (that is, in "street name"), you should have received a proxy form and voting instructions with this proxy material from that entity rather than from us. Complete and mail the proxy form as indicated to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with this proxy material, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.

        If you hold shares in street name and do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other agent, they can vote your shares with respect to "discretionary" items, but not with respect to "non-discretionary" items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under applicable regulations on which your broker, bank or other agent may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other agent, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. The proposals you are being asked to vote on are discretionary items.

How many votes do I have?

        On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of the close of business on April 27, 2009, the record date for the Annual Meeting.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

        If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors recommends a vote in favor of all five nominees for director and in favor of the other proposal described in this proxy statement. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, one of the individuals named on your proxy card as your proxy will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

        We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to this mailed proxy material, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Table of Contents

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

        If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

        Yes, you can revoke your proxy before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

    You may submit another properly completed proxy with a later date,

    You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at 4350 Executive Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92121, or

    You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person (however, simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy).

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by them.

What is the quorum requirement?

        A quorum of stockholders is necessary to transact business at the Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote are represented by stockholders at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. Your shares will count towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other agent) or if you vote in person at the meeting. In the election of directors, a decision to withhold authority to vote will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes also will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.

        At the close of business on the record date, there were approximately 14,752,000 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. If there is no quorum, a majority of the votes present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

    Election of directors.  The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting (in person or by proxy) is required for each of the five nominees to be elected directors. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. There will be no broker non-votes on this proposal since brokers and other nominees who hold shares for the accounts of their clients generally have discretionary authority to vote such shares in the absence of voting instructions from their clients.

    Ratification of SingerLewak LLP as InfoSonics' independent registered public accounting firm. The affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares represented at the Annual Meeting (in person or by proxy) is necessary to ratify the selection of our auditor. There will be no broker non-votes on the ratification of the accountants since brokers can vote with discretion on this proposal. Abstentions will not affect the outcome on this proposal.

        We are not aware, as of the date of this proxy statement, of any matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting other than as stated in this proxy statement and the accompanying notice. If any matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the enclosed proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named in the proxy to vote the shares in their best judgment.

Table of Contents

How are votes counted?

        Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. The Board of Directors has appointed our Chief Financial Officer to serve as the inspector of election.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

        Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final and official voting results will be published in or prior to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2009 ending June 30, 2009 (which will be available at www.sec.gov).

When are stockholder proposals due for next year's annual meeting?

        To be considered for inclusion in next year's proxy material, a stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing by January 7, 2010, to our Corporate Secretary at 4350 Executive Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92121. Stockholders who intend to present a proposal at next year's annual meeting without inclusion of such proposal in next year's proxy material should review our bylaws, which contain additional requirements regarding advance notice of stockholder proposals at an annual meeting of stockholders. A copy of our bylaws is also available from our Corporate Secretary at the address above. For more detailed information regarding stockholder proposals for next year's annual meeting, please see "Stockholder Proposal Information; Discretionary Authority to Vote Proxies" below.


AVAILABLE INFORMATION

        A copy of our Annual Report to Stockholders (which includes our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008) is being sent to each stockholder with this proxy statement. Any request for a copy of our periodic and current reports should be mailed to InfoSonics Corporation, Attn: Investor Relations, 4350 Executive Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92121. Stockholders may also receive copies of our annual report on Form 10-K and our other reports at no charge by accessing our website at www.infosonics.com or the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.


PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders are being asked to elect five directors nominated by our Board of Directors to serve as members of our Board of Directors. Each director would be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and thereafter until his successor is elected and qualified. Each of the nominees currently is a director of InfoSonics.

        It is not anticipated that any of the nominees will become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, but, if that should occur, the persons named in the proxy intend to vote for the election of such other person as the Board of Directors may recommend.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

        Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require that a majority of our Board of Directors be composed of "independent" directors as defined by such rules. The standards relied upon by our Board of Directors in determining whether a director is "independent" consist of those of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and, in the case of directors who serve on our Audit Committee, Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

        In accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, to be considered "independent," the Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that the director being reviewed is not an executive officer or employee of the Company or an individual that has a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Additionally, the following persons are not considered "independent":

            (a)   a director who is or, at any time during the past three years was, employed by InfoSonics or its subsidiaries;

6


Table of Contents

            (b)   a director who accepted or has a family member who accepted any compensation from InfoSonics in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:

                (i)  compensation for board or board committee service;

               (ii)  compensation paid to a family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of InfoSonics; or

              (iii)  benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation;

            (c)   a director who is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by InfoSonics as an executive officer;

            (d)   a director who is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which InfoSonics has made, or from which InfoSonics received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient's consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following;

                (i)  payments arising solely from investments in InfoSonics' securities; or

               (ii)  payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs.

            (e)   a director of InfoSonics who is, or has a family member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the executive officers of InfoSonics serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

            (f)    a director who is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of InfoSonics' outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of InfoSonics' outside auditor who worked on InfoSonics' audit at any time during any of the past three years.

        Accordingly, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence. During this review, the Board considered, among other things, transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and InfoSonics and its subsidiaries and affiliates or any entity of which a director or an immediate family member is an executive officer, general partner or significant equity holder. As provided in the Director Qualification Standards of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, the purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions existed that were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.

        As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that the following directors nominated for election at the Annual Meeting were independent of InfoSonics within the meaning of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC:

    Randall P. Marx
Robert S. Picow
Kirk A. Waldron


BOARD COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS

        The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board of Directors annually reviews the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules' definitions of independence for members of each of the committees and has determined that members of each of the committees are independent pursuant to applicable rules of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and the SEC.

        We also have a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which, pursuant to its written charter is responsible for nominating potential directors and for considering nominations for potential directors submitted by our stockholders and for certain matters related to corporate governance. Messrs. Marx, Picow and Waldron serve on this committee.

        There have been no material changes to the procedures (as described below) by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors in the last fiscal year.

Director Candidates

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications and have a high standard of personal and professional ethics, integrity and values. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of our Board of Directors, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers independence, diversity, age, geography, professional background and experience, other board experience, skills and expertise, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board and InfoSonics, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

        In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors' overall service to us during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relevant considerations. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee must be independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of our Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates' qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the minimum criteria set forth above, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder or not. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board at an annual meeting of stockholders must do so by delivering at least 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of the proxy statement for our last annual meeting of stockholders a written recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the following address: 4350 Executive Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, California 92121. Each submission must set forth, among other things: the name and address of the stockholder on whose behalf the submission is made; the number of our shares that are owned beneficially by such stockholder as of the date of the submission; the full name of the proposed candidate; a description of the proposed candidate's business experience for at least the previous five years; complete biographical information for the proposed candidate; and a description of the proposed candidate's qualifications as a director.

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committee Member Attendance

        Our Board of Directors met eight times during fiscal year 2008. Our Audit Committee met four times during fiscal year 2008, and our Compensation Committee met three times during the fiscal year 2008, and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met once during the fiscal year 2008. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which they served in fiscal 2008, that were held while they were a director or committee member.

        InfoSonics does not have a specific policy requiring director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, we encourage our directors to be present at the Annual Meeting and available to answer any stockholder questions. Messrs. Ram, Rosler and Marx attended last year's annual meeting.

ADDITIONAL CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

Stockholder Communications

        Stockholders wishing to send communications to the Board may contact Joseph Ram, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, at InfoSonics' principal executive office address. All such communications will be shared with the members of the Board, or if applicable, a specified committee or director.

Conflicts of Interest Policies

        Our Board of Directors and our officers are subject to certain provisions of Maryland law that are designed to eliminate or minimize the effects of certain potential conflicts of interest. In addition, our bylaws provide that any transaction between us and an interested party must be fully disclosed to our Board, and that a majority of the directors not otherwise interested in the transaction (including a majority of independent directors) must make a determination that the transaction is fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

        All future transactions between us and any of our officers, directors, or 5% stockholders are expected to be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from independent third parties and to be approved by a majority of our independent, disinterested directors. We believe that by following these procedures, we will be able to mitigate the possible effects of any conflicts of interest.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Reporting of Accounting Concerns

        We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Conduct"). We require all employees to adhere to the Code of Conduct in addressing legal and ethical issues encountered in conducting their work. The Code of Conduct requires that our employees avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in our best interest.

        We have also adopted a Code of Ethics (the "Code of Ethics") for our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our Controller and all other financial officers and executives. The Code of Ethics supplements our Code of Conduct and is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate reporting, and compliance with laws as well as other matters.

        The Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics have been filed with the SEC and can be found on our website at http://www.infosonics.com/corporate_governance.aspx.

        We have established "whistle-blower procedures" which provide a process for the confidential and anonymous submission, receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. These procedures provide substantial protections to employees who report company misconduct.

Board members are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs related to their attendance at Board and Committee meetings.


2008 AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

        The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees InfoSonics' financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee, as it was constituted at the time of each respective report, reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements in InfoSonics' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the unaudited financial statements included in InfoSonics' Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

        The Audit Committee discussed with its independent registered public accounting firm, who is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, the auditor's judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of InfoSonics' accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed by the auditor with the Audit Committee under Statement on Auditing Standard No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in Rule 3200T. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm's independence from management and InfoSonics, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the audit committee concerning independence. The Audit

Table of Contents


Committee considered whether the auditor's providing services on behalf of InfoSonics other than audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

        The Audit Committee discussed with InfoSonics' independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for its respective audits. The Audit Committee met with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of the auditor's examinations, its evaluations of InfoSonics" internal controls, and the overall quality of InfoSonics' financial reporting.

        In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, for filing with the SEC.

Employment Agreements

        On April 8, 2008, the Committee renewed and updated employment agreements between InfoSonics and each of Messrs. Ram, Klausner and Rosler to replace prior employment agreements that expired by their terms on December 31, 2007. Other than restating the base salaries to conform to the increased salary levels made effective January 1, 2007, as set forth under "Elements of Compensation—Base Salary," the terms of the new employment agreements otherwise are not materially changed from the terms of the prior employment agreements. The terms of the agreements for each of the executives are substantially similar except with respect to the amount of annual base salary. The base salary set in the employment agreements is subject to periodic review by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The agreements also provide that each executive is eligible to receive a discretionary performance-based bonus as determined by the Committee, though no minimum or maximum bonus amount is required. These agreements were entered into as of April 8, 2008, and have a term of four years that expires on April 8, 2012.

        The Company's employment agreements with Messrs. Ram, Klausner and Rosler provide for the payment of severance under certain conditions. If InfoSonics terminates the executive's employment other than for "cause" or if the executive terminates his employment for "reasonable basis," the executive is entitled to a severance payment equal to the greater of (i) 18 months of salary and (ii) the salary payable over 50% of the remaining term of the employment agreement, subject to the officer's execution of a general release and waiver of claims against InfoSonics. If an officer voluntarily terminates his employment other than for "reasonable basis," the officer is not entitled to receive a

16


Table of Contents


severance payment. Under the terms of the agreements, the officers are also subject to confidentiality and non-competition restrictions in favor of InfoSonics.

        Under the employment agreements, the term "reasonable basis" means a material breach of the employment agreement, a termination without "cause" during the term of the agreement, a reduction in the executive's salary except to the extent that a majority of the other executive officers of the Company incur similar reductions, or termination of employment within 12 months after a "change of control." The term "change of control" means any consolidation or merger in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation, except where the holders of Company common stock immediately prior to the merger own a majority of the voting common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger; a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all the Company's assets; stockholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; the acquisition by any person or entity of a majority of the stock entitled to elect a majority of the directors of the Company; or a bankruptcy proceeding. The term "cause" means engaging in or committing willful misconduct, gross negligence, theft, fraud or other illegal conduct; refusal or unwillingness to perform, or materially inadequate performance of the executive's duties; breach of any applicable non-competition, confidentiality or other proprietary information or inventions agreement; inappropriate conflict of interest; insubordination; failure to follow the directions of the Board; or indictment or conviction of any felony, or any entry of a plea of nolo contendere.

Change in Control Provisions Under Equity Incentive Plans.

        Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise at the time of grant with respect to a particular award, or unless otherwise provided in a written employment, services or other agreement with a participant, if a "change in control" or "reorganization event" occurs, outstanding awards will become fully and immediately exercisable, and all applicable deferral and restriction limitations or forfeiture provisions applicable to the awards will lapse, immediately before the change in control or reorganization event. In addition, the Compensation Committee may determine that outstanding awards will be surrendered or terminated in exchange for a cash payment or make any other adjustments it deems appropriate in a change in control or reorganization event, and also may determine that outstanding awards will be cancelled in a reorganization event.

        Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, "change in control" generally has the same meaning as under the Employment Agreements described above. A "reorganization event" means the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation, one person becoming the beneficial owner of all the outstanding equity securities of the Company, the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or the dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company.

        As of December 31, 2008, none of the Named Executive Officers held unvested stock options under the 2006 Plan or any other prior Company stock option plans.

PROPOSAL 2: TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF SINGERLEWAK LLP AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected SingerLewak LLP ("SL"), an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the financial statements of InfoSonics for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Although stockholder approval of the Audit Committee's selection of SL is not required by law, the Audit Committee and the Board believe that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. The Audit Committee may reconsider the selection of SL whether or not the stockholders approve or do not approve this proposal at the Annual Meeting.

        Representatives of SL are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.


PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

        The Audit Committee reviews and determines whether specific projects or expenditures with SL potentially affect their independence. The Audit Committee's policy requires that all services the independent registered public accounting firm may provide to InfoSonics, including audit services and permitted audit-related services, be pre-approved in advance by the Audit Committee. In the event that an audit or non-audit service requires approval prior to the next scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, the auditor must contact the Chairman of the Audit Committee (who has been delegated by the Audit Committee the authority to act in such circumstances) to obtain such approval. The approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All audit and non-audit services provided by SL during 2008 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

        The following sets forth the aggregate fees billed to us by SL for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008.

Audit Fees

        The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by SL for its audit of our annual financial statements and its review of our financial statements included in Forms 10-Q and 10-K in fiscal years 2007 and 2008 were $227,458 and $182,734, respectively.

Audit Related Fees

        The aggregate fees billed for audit related services by SL in years 2007 and 2008 were $2,003 and $3,640, respectively. The 2007 fees were accrued in connection with consent for a securities filing with the SEC. The 2008 fees were accrued in connection with consent for a securities filing with the SEC.

Tax Fees

        There were no fees billed by SL in either 2007 or 2008 for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.

All Other Fees

        There were no fees billed by SL in 2007 or 2008 for professional services other than the services described above.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote
"FOR" ratification of SingerLewak LLP
as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2009
