    Those compete on an even footing with the best Bose noise cancelling headphones. I would say they are worth it even at full retail price.

    I've had mine since the first F&F sale, and use them 3-5 times a week listening for new music on Tidal sitting in bed prior to sleep. They are top shelf sounding headphones and the noise cancelling is simply a bonus for me, as I have used them on trips in the car. I have split a seam on one pad, just haven't ordered the $25 replacement set yet.

    Be warned Polk no longer sells or makes these, you can't even find any reference to them on there site :astonished: . Here's a link to the product page https://polkaudio.com/products/ultrafocus8000 (I had to go through newegg to find it), The only headphones they seem to make now are the "Wrap" (Back ordered) & the "Neu Era" (both Ear bud types) all the others are no longer for sale. :disappointed: .
