Nice bass laid back as described put the adapter on them played Stevie Wonder Intervisions the remastered CD these surprised me I like how they sound played through my Marantz, my I-Pod with and with the headphone amp and without. I plan on going to the cave In a bit and plug them into the Oppo and play some SACDs. I think these little Polks are a nice set of phones and fit my big ol head comfortably. Get them at this price, if I see a deal on the Buckles I'm getting them. Sale ends tomorrow you better jump on them TK B) Your pm just popped up as I was typing this.

    Holy cr ap, Steve, that's funny! I JUST sent the PM about these and then checked the new posts and there's your thread, pics and all! Great minds think alike I guess! B) They appear to be nice quality in your pics. I think I'm gonna jump on it too. I wish you could get the black at that price. I'm a little concerned about the white showing dirt and grime in short order.

    Do give a little more feedback once you give them the SACD treatment in the cave please.

    So did you get em at raukuten.com from the link I posted, or did you get a better deal than that? So I owe you a pair of DIY headphone stands once you post a picture of your Buckles.

    http://www.head-fi.org/t/249671/the-diy-headphone-stand-thread/1575

    I have two of the Brainwaves Acrylic Stands holding my Sennheisser 598's and my new Polk Hinges, I also got one of em for the JVC phones I got my Grandson. I read this link the other day good Ideas here so I came up with a Idea after reading this Head-fi thread and have two in the making, and no its not a banana holder, and had I read this prior to buying those Brainwaves I would of saved some cash. So the prototype is yours so don't go rushing off and buy a stand. Give me a ring at work or my cell tomorrow. You got to check this Head-Fi thread out its pretty interesting!!!

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I found a new, black pair that had just been listed today on the 'bay for $66 w/free shipping, so I jumped on it!

    Am I really seeing what I think I'm seeing at your link? Is that really 214 (and counting!) pages of DIY headphones stands ideas? :o Can't wait to see what you've come up with...

    Will post when the Buckles arrive.

    Thanks!

    We got one pair yesterday and the other is to be delivered today. VERY nice construction - worth WAY more than the sale price paid. Haven't listened to them since they will be Easter gifts for our daughters, but if anything like the UF8000's, I know we won't be disappointed! Nice job Polk!

    What's the deal ? Plugged this into my Onkyo and I have to fiddle with the plug or hold in the button to get them to sound good? Never mind, it didn't like my 1/4" plug adapter.

    yea the center button on the provided cord from the headphones to the receiver. But alas it was my 1/8 to 1/4 adapter that wasn't making up proper contact I tried another and it works fine
