It's easy to look at headphones like the Plattan 2 from Urbanears with skepticism. After all, if they look this cool and they even have a detachable cable for just $49, can they possibly sound good? Luckily, the answer is a resounding yes. Bass lovers who want a balanced, if sculpted, sound signature will not be disappointed by the Plattan 2's impressive drivers, which don't distort and deliver solid lows and clarity in the highs. Design Urbanears definitely gets the design details right with most of its products, and the Plattan headphones ($127.17 at Amazon) are no exception. Available in matte black, gray, indigo blue, pink, powder blue, red, or white, the look is simple, refined, and stylish. The supra-aural (on-ear) build is lightweight and comfortable, with plush earpads lined in faux leather, and a headband that's also exceptionally well padded and soft. There's a detachable cable—something often not even found on headphones twice as expensive—with the ability to attach it...
The stylish, comfortable, on-ear Urbanears Plattan 2 headphones deliver bass and balance at an affordable price.
