First Impressions

Below are first impressions of members of the press who attended the UltraFit launch event in NYC on September 13th. At the event, they were able to demonstrate the headphones and each were given a pair of the new Ultrafit 3000 Sports Headphones to take home

"I'm a simple man who likes simple things. A good workout, healthy food, and good headphones. That's why I love the new Polk Ultrafit Sport Headphones."

Michael Berk, SoundandVisionMag.com September 14, 2011

"…excellent, impactful bass response that's certainly dominant but doesn't cloud up the midrange unreasonably - vocals, guitars, and strings still sit well even given the heavy bottom end. Electronic kicks and basses obviously have a home here (the sub-friendly rhythm tracks of Das Racist's new Relax came through loud and clear, without overpowering the wordplay), but there 'phones are surprisingly versatile."

"Thad Young of the Philadelphia 76ers said that the sound quality and isolation were so good that he would sometimes lose himself with the music (Linkin Park, if you must know) forming images inside his head..."

"Polk's new UltraFit3000 headphones might just be the the most thoughtfully designed I've seen."

Chris Dobbins, TotalFootBlog.com

"Listening to music with Polk's headphones was a revelation."

Tony Dreier, The Jersey Journal September 16, 2011

"I've never found an on-ear headphone this comfortable…One impressive feature is that they come with cords at different lengths. With the Ultrafit line, you can use the short cord if you're clipping a music player to your shirt collar, the medium length if you're using an armband, or the long cord if your player is at your waist…What really matters, of course, is the sound. I tested the Ultrafit 3000, the $99 model, and I was impressed by the clarity and separation. My music sounded clear and distinct."
