Polk Adds Android Functionality to UltraFit


By RS Staff November 30,2012


Polk Audio will soon ship a new selection of Performance Line-Up UltraFit headphones that cater to the ever-growing number of Android smartphone owners.

Three new models, all of which are Made for Android, offer complete control over calling and music listening functions, such as volume, track skip, and more, via in-line or on-ear single-button remote control and microphone. As part of Polk Audio’s Performance Line-Up of UltraFit headphones, each of the three new models are designed for individuals looking for audio quality, durability and style in the headphones they use while training, practicing, or generally engaged in an active lifestyle.

“Since we introduced our initial UltraFit selection last year, we’ve received countless requests from our fan base asking when Android models would be added to the mix,” said Ben Newhall, Polk Audio’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. “When you consider that over 13 million Android smartphones shipped in the second quarter alone, it’s no wonder that demand for high performance Android compatible headphones would be so big.”

“Just like our current UltraFit models, Polk’s new Made for Android headphones offer the best sonics for the money, with a fit and finish that will satisfy the most demanding the most demanding athletes, fitness enthusiasts and active listeners,” Newhall added.
