UrbanEars Plattan Over The Ear Headphones For Iphone Ipod Touch Android - Grey
This review is from: UrbanEars Plattan Headphones (8075611) - Dark Grey
I've wanted a pair of headphones like this for sometime now because these seem to las much longer than the little wire ones that go in or around your ear. I wanted a pair that wasn't too bulky, big, and overpriced which naturally ruled out the highly acclaimed Beats by Dre headphones. I wanted a pair that i could take around with me, that would fold, and look nice on me while i wear them. Well i found them! Urbanears won me over at a store i saw them at. If i had seen them here on Amazon first, i probably would have not bought them with previous comments, but i truly think if you are in any type of situation like I was in, then these are the headphones for you.
What I like:
Fits nicely on your head
Not too big not too small ear covers
GREAT SOUND!
Folds nicely
Comes in many colors to choose from.
Come with extra jacks for devices with diff mm inputs
What I dislike:
Does tend to get a little uncomfortable if worn for a long time, but what headphones don't. Nothing that would make me want my money back.
If you have studded earrings, they are tight enough to push the back pin into your skin. Nothing serious, but really uncomfortable. With proper placement it goes away.
It doesn't come with a built in volume adjuster, which isn't too much to ask for when the price is what it is
It wouldn't have killed them to make their brand name more visible on the product but this may be a good thing for those that do not like to advertise brand names.
What i love:
The phone headset feature! One button to start a call with voice calling (at least for those blackberry users), same button mutes, and ends call.
Crisp clean sounds of other person's voice coming in, and they can hear you better with the small mic feature.
I love the fabric cord! finally an upgrade from all the cheap little wires that get tangled and short out in a month.
The extra 3mm headphone jack so that a friend or partner can share in your music.
Overall:
A very good headphone set with minor technicalities but major features that i'm sure consumers will enjoy. As an avid Amazon prime customer, i just wanted to give back a review to those that need it in making their decision....

Having spent a serious portion of my early life doing professional audio, I'm more than a little critical.
These are GREAT cans. Good audio response, small size, well thought out cabling.
I particularly like the choice of flexweave wire, and fabric covering. Super flexible,
and known to be quite durable. (If your cat doesn't chew through it.)
However, just as hats don't come in one size fits all...these and any other on-the-ear headphones
will be uncomfortable for some. For the record, my hat size is 7.5 (US) and my ears stick out
almost as badly as our current president's. And these are STILL comfortable, although I haven't
worn them for more than an hour at a time, so far.
For 60 bucks, you can't go wrong, particularly if you have an iPhone and want to be able
to take calls. I was forced to get my wife a pair, just to keep her from bogarting mine.
She settled on hot pink, not the purple. Mine are steel grey. The designer colors are a nice touch.
Reports of sound quality issues are simply misinformed. Or the product of hearing impairment.
I presently own 5 headsets. One for simple communications, two for studio narration work, and these.
These are simply the best I've owned or used in as long as I can remember.
For the price, you can't go wrong. Unless your hat size is a lot larger than mine, then they'll be tight,
and I advise something for over the ear, instead of on it.

I wanted to like them, I really did. However, I am actually glad that my cat chewed through the cord so I can buy a different pair of headphones. They look cool and I didn't notice any sound quality problems, but don't take it from me. I'm hard of hearing and prefer to have higher frequencies screwed with because otherwise I can't hear them.
My problem is that for being "over the ear" headphones, they are extremely small and as a result, they are uncomfortable and become painful if they press on your ear for longer than a half-hour. If you like to wear headphones for longer stretches, you're going to fuss with them trying to figure out a way to wear them on your head so that they don't pinch your ears. Surprise: there is no such way! You're screwed!
The three stars for their looks and design only, and are not based upon the actual (very poor) execution. It is a nice idea to be able to plug-in another headphone set so someone else can listen to your music too, and I like the little button on the cord that can be pressed to play/pause music without having to go to the source....
