Customer Reviews Urbanears Plattan

I love these headphones! Super comfy with great sound. The headband is nice and padded, and I really like that the cord is fabric-wrapped so it hangs nicely and doesn't get tangled. I got the yellow, and the color is perfect - very bright!

These headphones are so comfortable and the sound quality is very good for the price, even on my iPhone it is a way better sound quality than the headphones that come with the phone. All the different colors make it fun to pick out and wear too. I love that a friend can plug right into my headphones too, that will come in handy for vacation and watching movies on long flights. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, the company offers other styles all with ways to custom fit them to your head/ears so if you aren't an over the ear headphone person they offer two in ear varieties as well. Something for everyone basically!

While Urbanears Plattan ensures great volume control and amazing sound quality, the one thing this product lacks is comfort. After about 10 minutes of wearing these headphones my ears start hurting a lot; and I have heard the same problem confronts many other people.

The sound I'm used to is that of the ear buds that came free with my phone, and before that, those that came free with my iPod. I'm not an audiophile; I can't tell you the first thing about these headphones' bass or treble. What I can say is that the sound is a significant step up from what I'm used to; the design is sleek and appealing; I'm able to adjust them to my small head without trouble; I can wear them several hours before starting to feel discomfort. My only disappointment is that the indigo color is not indigo at all, more a dark gray with blue undertones (to a casual observer, they are not identifiably blue). I've used mine now and can't return, but if I'd known, I'd have ordered another color.

These headphones are great. The sound quality is amazing, I'm hearing music differently than with my previous headphones (the kind that come with the iPod). They are really sturdy, and hold up well when they're haphazardly tossed in my purse. I've been recommending them to everyone I know who wants to listen to their music on the subway without sharing it with the entire train-car.

I was looking for bigger headphones to supplement my earbuds. I really like the Plattan's look and the number of colors available. I also liked the cloth covered cord--it doesn't tangle as easily as other headphone cords. The sound is deep and rich. My only complaint (and this is a major one) is the level of comfort. These headphones hurt about 30 minutes into wearing them, which isn't very useful when you are on a 4-hour flight and trying to watch a movie or listen to music. I bought them primarily for travel and found myself having to take a break from wearing them every 30 minutes or so. They're a great looking and great sounding product, but the comfort level leaves something to be desired.
