Polk Audio UltraFocus 8000 - Pros & Cons

as beautiful and sleek as they are powerful and bold
great sound and enough features to handle most use cases
Comfortable and moderately stable design
one of the most comfortable headphones we have ever worn and were surprisingly lightweight
easy to carry and to wear for extended periods
Good engineering
excellent build quality
and superior sonic performance
headband provides a snug fit and the ear pads are comfortable enough for long listening sessions
UltraFocus 8000 are also remarkably lightweight
a pretty sturdy and good-looking set of ear covers
Subtle elements in tunes are crisp and clear
remarkably lifelike and crisp sound

the headphones are a burden to wear
battery indicator light is exposed
lack of quality speakers or headphones while using the 3DS or PSP
noise-cancelling filtered out all of the busy noises
also gets lost in the vocals and the beat line
The noise cancelling is a little weak for loud noisy commutes
a bit bulky and can't be used with out any batteries
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
Cumbersome button layout Creaky headband
does lack a bit of refinement
it is a bit fiddly
can lose a touch of intimacy in more delicate recordings
accompanies her can turn into a congealed mess with lesser headphones
makes the headphones essentially useless once the battery runs out
passive noise isolation performance
the sound quality often suffers
Understated and contradictory
frayed and failing cables
a very noticeable echo becomes apparent
rainstorm generator from Simply Noise
raised plastic ovals feel ugly to the touch

Review: Polk Audio's UltraFocus 8000 Active Noise Canceling Headphones

One way to tell a quality set of headphones is if they make you want to go and listen to different songs just to see how they sound. After about twenty minutes of going through recently-added tracks on Polk Audio's UltraFocus 8000 Active Noise Canceling Headphones, I quickly made my way to Spotify, wondering what new sounds could be uncovered in some old favorites.

Polk UltraFocus 8000 Review | Digital Trends

Polk has produced one of the best sounding noise-cancelling headphones we’ve heard yet, but unfortunately noise isolation and noise cancelling are not these cans’ strong suit.
