General Information
Polk Nue Voe In-Ear Headphones Authentic sound, personal style. Nue Voe headphones, part of the Polk Heritage Series, combine serious audiophile performance with stand-out style, for headphones that make a statement about what’s personally important to you. Because audio performance is our benchmark, Polk has re-engineered what a headphone can do. We’ve expanded the limits of the miniature driver design with new technologies based on our own innovative research. But we haven’t forgotten that wearing headphones is something you do. So we’ve raised the bar of comfort and style to make it something you actually want to do. How does Polk achieve the kind of dynamic, immersive, wide-spectrum audio performance that the critics love about the Nue Voe? With proprietary technology that improves headphone engineering. Polk pioneered the use of single balanced-armature driver designs in in-ear headphones. We designed the tiny Nue Voe drivers using our Dynamic Balance Material Tuning process, which tunes out imperfections before they occur. This is the same tuning process we use to engineer full-sized loudspeaker drivers. Then, we combined the efficiency and low-impedance characteristics of the tuned single balanced-armature driver with an exclusive passive EQ setting, for more realistic deep bass response. This radical new combined approach to headphone design is called Polk Optimized Electro-acoustic Tuning (POET). It refines the balanced-armature driver to improve overall performance, and extends the headphone’s dynamics without overpowering your sensibilities. When you listen to Nue Voe, your music will sound richer, fuller, and more realistic, with more depth, and a wider soundstage than you have any right to expect from a headphone. Plus, Nue Voe connects to your iOS device and gives you complete control over your audio settings and call functions from one easy-to-reach controller. There’s surprisingly advanced technology at work here, too, with a specially engineered cable featuring a unique 90-degree connector. The connector is positioned for increased range of movement, and it’s designed to sit tighter in the jack. Because it’s gold-plated, it will never oxidize, so you will always have a crisp, clear connection. The cable is ultra-lightweight, and connects at an adjustable Y-junction that puts the ergonomic 3-Button Controller right where you want it, never in your way. Control all your audio settings and phone settings intuitively with just a fingertip. The built-in microphone is positioned perfectly for normal conversation, and superior filtering technology blocks outside noise, so you sound clear and natural when you make a call. The headphone’s color palette complements today’s most popular champagne color schemes. Nue Voe has an easy-to-use 3-button control and built-in microphone. The control is contoured to fit your finger for intuitive audio and phone control. Polk does audio. 40 years of knowledge creates the best headphone experience by far. Forget “typical” headphones. Nue Voe makes a definite statement with extraordinary, sophisticated design. Nue Voe coordinates with your eyeglasses, belt, phone and bag. Nue Voe becomes an essential element of your personal style, an integral part of your “everyday carry.” We’ve made certain that even our style serves a greater purpose. The lightweight polymer resin used to form the outer headphone shell was chosen specifically for its superior audio damping properties. Its unique shape fits your outer-ear space with no rubbing, no awkwardness. Included are five pairs of custom molded silicone ear tips and two pairs of memory foam tips, each sized and shaped to ensure a match with your unique ears. The soft, supple material fits effortlessly, and feels smooth and agreeable inside your ear canal. Because they’re co-molded to the headphone shell’s ear tube, these tips retain their shape, and they are designed to enhance the Nue Voe’s inherent passive sound isolation with their seal. Each earpiece weighs less than half an ounce, about the same weight as a single poker chip or a tiny AAA battery. Nue Voe is one of the lightest high performance in-ear headphones available.
