Beats By Dr.Dre On-ear Headphones - Pink

Along these lines, Polk Audio has introduced an entire family of earphones for athletes. Polk’s new UltraFit line is led by the $100 UltraFit 3000 in-ear-canal model I tried. Sonically, they’re a huge step up from the $10 buds you get at your local electronics superstore, but they’re also engineered to stay wrapped around your ears no matter how many ounces of sweat you work up.
The wrap-around design is critical to the fit. A couple seconds of cajoling nestles the plastic pieces behind your ears, where they remain secure. They never fell off my ears during the month I wore them to my gym, including consistent running sessions and one rousing hour of full-court layup drills (These are the things I do to try to bring you a well-rounded review).
Music sounds great. The bass throbs and pulsates, and nothing sounds strained, even at the higher volume levels. Polk Audio ships the 3000s with seven pairs of differently-sized tips, which is more options than most in-ears. Finding the correct tip, and thus attaining the proper seal to get the best sound performance, is easy with all those options.
My favorite design detail: color-coded left and right cables. While each side still has the ‘L’ and ‘R’ near the ear bud to delineate which ear it should go in, the differently-colored cables are smart. You know which ear’s which at a glance.
Users have a choice between two cables: a 14-incher and a 41-incher that has its own microphone/remote assembly. This is where being an Apple connoisseur pays off. For everyone else, myself included, not so much. The remote controls and mic are compatible only with the following models: iPod nano (4th generation or later), iPod classic (120/160GB), iPod touch (2nd generation or later), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad 1 and 2. The remote is supported by the iPod shuffle (3rd generation and later) while the audio is supported by all iPod models. The pause/play button also worked with my HTC Incredible phone.
