Product Description

Finally, style geeks and music lovers have something in common, because they're both going to love Polk's obsession with detail. It's in their DNA, after all. One look will tell you the new Buckle headphones are all about the looks, performance; fit and finish, and even more performance. If it doesn't sound right, it's not Polk. And if it doesn't look amazing, it's not a part of the Polk Heritage Collection. Even though these Buckle Headphones look completely new, and groundbreaking trendsetting, they back up their good looks with superior performance. With exclusive Polk technologies like POET, and Dynamic Balance materials tuning, these headphones deliver the kind of sound that will separate you from the pack. Looks are a bonus. With the Buckle, consider their obsession accomplished!

Features Polk Optimized Electro-acoustic Tuning (POET) delivers legendary Polk sound in a headphone - rich, immersive and realistic. Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance tuning technology nixes distortion-causing driver and system resonances before the manufacturing stage, so you only hear the good sounds. A single detachable cable connection, no tangled mess. Gold-plated 3.5mm precision-machined connector seats more securely into your source connection.Specifications Style - Over-ear Transducer Type - Dynamic Balance Diameter - 40 mm Apple Remote - Yes, 3-button control & microphone Input Connections - 3.5 mm Included Cables - 48 length Max Sensitivity - 99.7 dB Total Frequency Response - 10Hz-21.5kHz (+/- 9dB) Nominal Impedance - 24 ohms Warranty - 1 Year

Polk audio for a complete bargain!
5 Stars
Polk audio for a complete bargain!
Amazon is bar none a godsend for people who would be locked out of possessing super high quality items! Years ago, I had learned of Polk audio when I auditioned a pair of Polk sda speakers! They were at the time the best experience with speakers I had ever had. After that I managed to get Polk car speakers then their least expensive pair, great sounding. Fast forward 30 years and now I have these. Now the only headphones I want to use. The leather headband and the beefy metel buckle styling, is just luxurious beyond other high end headphones. Polk through and through. I would describe the sound as balanced with a very laid back from 2 khz up to 20khz. The bass does not have any coloring to it, very clean and maybe a bit dry. But it is the Polk sound. I can see all the instruments in their places. I must say that the sound is close to koss headphones. But much smoother, don't count Koss out they more or lnvented the consumer high end headphones!The comfort is very nice and helps with the weight of this set. Now one thing that really blows me away, if it does not break. The button knob on the right speaker anchor, is genius because I can use a better cable from a high end wire company. I have checked weekly for a few years for the price to be dropped down within my meager affordability and now I have Polk sound all around my brain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ein guter Kopfhörer
Reviewed in Germany on August 31, 2016
Ich habe mir den Kopfhörer in erster Linie aus optischen Gesichtspunkten gekauft, da mir viele Modelle der üblichen Marken einfach nicht zusagen. Der "Polk Audio - The Buckle" sieht sehr gut aus und die Materialwahl ist gehoben. Auch die Verarbeitungsqualität ist an und für sich gut, allerdings sind nicht alle Aluminiumteile 100 % bündig zueinander. Weiterhin ist das Aluminium bei meinem Exemplar dort wo man sie ausfährt ein wenig angelaufen (siehe Fotos). Mit ein wenig Polieren habe ich die schlimmsten Stellen aber halbwegs aufgearbeitet bekommen.
Der Sitz der Kopfhörer ist auch nach mehreren Stunden noch immer sehr angenehm und umgeben meine Ohren vollständig. Ich bin kein Klangexperte und habe keine wissenschaftlichen Analysen angestellt, aber das was ich höre, gefällt mir. Positiv ist außerdem zu erwähnen, das ein Mikrofon integriert ist, sodass sich der Kopfhörer auch zum Telefonieren am Smartphone oder mit einem entsprechenden Adapter auch als Headset am Computer nutzen lässt. Alles in allem bin ich mit dem Kopfhörer zufrieden.
