Reviews
"The beginning of “Hurts So Good,” from John Cougar Mellencamp’s American Fool (16/44.1 ALAC, Island/Mercury), had solid drums and guitar capped by a shining, shimmering struck cymbal. The raucous piano in “One Angry Dwarf,” from Ben Folds’s Live (16/44.1 ALAC, Sony), had plenty of rock ’em, sock ’em presence, but also a lot of clarity -- a clean, focused sound that didn’t buckle under when the singing started. The title track of Christian Kane’s The House Rules, an energetic country-rock anthem (16/44.1 ALAC, Big Picture), had awesome thumping bass perfect for any number of strength exercises. ... Polk Audio’s UltraFit 2000 headphones lived up to the high expectations excited by their spec sheet. They’re comfortable, durable, and intuitive to use. Polk provides different earpads to fit different folks and situations, and the ’phones provide solid, evenly balanced sound with great overall clarity. They sit stylishly and comfortably on the head, and won’t come loose during rigorous exercise. If Polk made a Bluetooth model that sounded and acted like the UltraFit 2000s, my quest for the perfect sports headphones might come to an end. "
"Polk claims that the headphone cord is tangle-free. I didn't mean to test that assertion, but over a two-week period of jamming the 'phones into gym bags, backpacks, coat pockets and even the provided travel pouch I found it to be true. I never had to unsnarl the cable. After dealing with headphones that present me with a Gordian knot on a regular basis, this was a welcome improvement.
From a practical level, the Polk Ultrafit headphones were a joy to use. And they sounded good, too. ... Bass was nice and firm it sometimes seemed a little much for acoustic music, but right in the pocket for rap, soul, electronic and rock. And let's be realistic — I'm not going to be listening to Mozart string quartets or singer/songwriters strumming guitars when I'm out running. I want heart-thumping music with a strong beat that will help me keep my pace and energy level up. And for that kind of music, headphones' coloration actually enhanced the sound."
