A package arrived today & for the life of me I couldn't think what it could be...I knew I haven't ordered anything for quite sometime. Well low & behold it was an awesome pair of "buckle" headphones from Polk. I know Mark asked John at his Polkfest for everyone's address because he was going to send us all something compliments of Polk.

I wasn't expecting to be surprised this soon. I must say that this is really something that speaks volumes about a company. And as if the headphones this year weren't enough, last year Mark sent us all an Omni S2 wireless speaker.

I already tried them out & they sound fantastic!! Another superb item from Polk. Kudos to Mark & Polk for caring enough to do this for it's members & customers. This sure will go a long way in my book.

    Like DSkip has been saying, Polk marketing has been churning stuff up. At CEDIA, here onsite, and through distribution they are being very proactive.

    Nice to see...congrats

    You beat me to it, Phil! ;)

    Can't wait to hear how these things sound.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Got mine today... guess that was punishment for being the last to get Jstas my address :P

    Sound good so far. Once I get some more listening time in I'll put a review on the site.

    Nah, there were some supply issues on Polk's end but Mark got them all straightened out. The last few should be showing up at people's doors today or Monday.

    BTW, they get better as they break in. If you can't listen to them all day at work or something, plug them in to your stereo and leave them go all day while you're at work. If you do that for a whole week you should hear them loosen up and get brighter.

    Nice headphones...very cool.
    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
