For $50, the Urbanears Plattan 2 headphones strike an ideal balance between audio performance and style. Throw in the detachable cable, and you've got yourself a solid deal. In this price range, we are also fans of the Klipsch Reference R6i On-Ear and the Shure SRH145m+ . The Coloud No.

We all have a preference on how we listen to audio–music, podcasts, videos, or online meetings–our global society is never far away from a pair of headphones or earbuds. Choosing the right pair, however, can be a daunting experience.

I bought these for the reviews and the style and they didn't disappoint. They produced a crisp sound with a snug fit with a cool fabric style that wasn't covered obscured by labels. However, I couldn't pair them to my device. I'm certain that this problem was unique to the item that I received.

I've been using this for awhile now. Paring it with my phone was extra "it took time and patience" then switching it off is same extra energy " it's not a soft touch".
