4 True Facts
Here are four important facts to consider before purchasing these bluetooth headphones:
-
They are made by Polk Audio. Many believe the company to be named after a founder or even, perhaps, the former president. On the contrary, Polk Audio is named after Polk County in Iowa, where Des Moines is located. This explains their famous marketing slogan: “A capitol listening experience!”
-
This model was originally developed for use in a modern audio-centric version of the game Horseshoes. Initial sales were not strong, so they were given hinges and rebranded as a ‘foldable fidget toy with built in speakers.’ When this also didn’t work, they did another rebrand, this time as ‘audio ear-pillows,’ then another as ‘baby speakers for your head,’ before finally giving in and admitting, ugh, whatever, fine; they’re just headphones.
-
They use Bluetooth. This, of course, is the technology that involves a phone, MP3 player, other device pumping out gaseous audio to be received by a bluetooth receptor–such as these headphones–which converts the gas back into audio. It’s very convenient to avoid wires. There are some issues, though. For example, at a certain humidity level, gaseous audio liquifies, and liquid podcasts in particular can leave lasting stains on furniture and carpet.
-
They are very good and you should buy them.
To be clear: while we are certain that most of these facts are true, we can only confirm #4.
