Polk Audio UltraFocus 6000

The Polk Audio UltraFocus 6000 earphone pair delivers highly effective noise cancellation, but its bulky battery compartment and inability to output audio in passive mode are drawbacks.

Powerful audio performance with deep bass, no distortion at top volumes. Secure in-ear fit. Comes with a multitude of eartips in varying shapes and sizes.

Doesn't output audio in passive mode. Audio can sound muffled on certain tracks. External battery and NC circuitry compartment is bulky, awkward. Uses AAA battery, not a rechargeable options.

Polk Audio UltraFocus 6000 in-ear headphones sound and feel good

Its noise-canceling function is just average for its design class, but those looking for a midprice model will dig the Polk Audio UltraFocus 6000 in-ear headphones.

The ; active noise-canceling in-ear headphones feature a big, powerful sound while maintaining a comfortable fit.

The cable lacks a microphone and smartphone controls, and playback requires power, so the music dies along with your battery.

The Polk Audio UltraFocus 6000's noise-canceling powers are just average for an in-ear NC design, but anyone looking for midprice headphones with lots of bass and detail will love this set.

Polk Audio UltraFocus 6000 in-ear headphones

These in-ear headphones have active noise cancelling to cut out ambient chatter

Excellent passive and active noise cancelling ; Good sound, pleasant bass and treble response

Bulky in-line battery pack ; In-ear noise cancelling isn't for everyone

Polk Audio's foray into the not-so-popular world of noise cancelling in-ear headphones is a solid one: the UltraFocus 6000 headphones have good sound and competent active noise cancelling to complement the passive in-ear isolation. Our main issue is...
