Product Description
-------------------
The Concept…
Urbanears is a collective out of Scandinavia, motivated by a
common interest in global relationships and shared involvement in
the relevance of the living brand. Urbanears promotes a deeper
connection to colour, form and people while providing the freedom
to transcend individuality and unify the sound experience. We
wanted to produce headphones with a profound understanding of how
they are utilised and why. We call this design and in our world
design is the transformation of functionality to the human being.
Our vision was to add a number of elements to the concept of
performance. Beyond the obvious sound rendition we had a vision
of making headphones that felt more like clothes than chromed
plastics and felt good to wear in a public space. We design
headphones with much respect to what they are expected to be but
with great attention the details. As Urbanears headphone is
always describable as a classic headphone rather than a bold
design statement redefining the product category.
Our vision is to make Urbanears available and we spend much time
and attention to making our products as affordable as can be.
Still we want each item to have something a little extra and a
bit unique. From the way it fits, works or an extra little
functionality you wouldn't expect.
In our times as music listeners we've seen a number of formats.
From everlasting vinyl to extinct minidiscs, we are absolutely
convinced the binary format of your favourite songs will change
from time to time, but remain stored digitally. This revolution
has allowed you to carry on your full collection in your pocket
and get everything you might not have streamed. With this format
music has migrated from designated players into mobile phones and
other portable devices. It just seems stupid not to add a
microphone and a remote, allowing you to pick up calls and
communicate. We work hard to make your Urbanears work with the
most possible devices out there.
Who we think you are…
Much more important than anything else, we make Urbanears for
you. We know for a fact that you are carrying a few week's worth
of music in your pocket, or maybe audio books, language courses
or simply a radio receiver. Statistically you are a city dweller
listening to whatever this device holds going back and forth to
work or school, at your desk, walking, riding you bike, running,
travelling or just sinking in to your music with full attention.
However, just as likely you live in a remote forest, it really
doesn't matter. We are convinced that you would consider the
aesthetics of any type of hat before you bought it and put it on
and that you feel the same way about a headphone.
The Plattan Headphone
We designed Plattan to be the perfect classic headphone,
utilising innovative functions and performance with today's
technology. It is a full size headphone allowing for rich
secluded sound. Compatible with 3.5mm standard music players and
available in a range of colours, the Plattan is the ultimate
classic on ear headphone.
The Plattan features super soft earpads with an adjustable
headband which ensures you get the perfect fit and are treated to
comfortable listening, even after wearing them for several hours.
The built in ZoundPlug on the earcap is not actually a plug but
rather a socket that allows your friend to plug into your earcap
and listen to the same thing as you are listening to. To help
keep you on the go, Plattan headphones come with an in-line
microphone and remote (compatible with most devices using
unprotected 3.5mm standard; ie. Blackberry, HTC, iPhone) so that
you can take calls and pause and play your music with ease. The
combined fabric and TPE 1.2m detachable cord eliminates
distortions caused by friction and prevents unwanted tangles,
whilst allowing users to plug it in and wear on either side for
additional convenience and comfort. Furthermore, the fully
collapsible construction folds down to the size of your fist,
permitting quick and easy transportation and storage.
As well as being designed to a high tech spec and looking great
as an accessory on the go, the Plattan also sound great with a
frequency range of 20 - 20,000Hz, an impedance of 60 ohms and
sensitivity of 115dB, providing fantastic quality sound directly
to your ears.
