TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
The Urbanears Plattan are a medium segment over-the-ears pair of headphones directed to the design-aware people. They are available in many colors and feature a very sober yet attractive look. The Plattan headphones has an audio cable with a headset feature (a remote) which is compatible with most smartphones (like iPhones and HTC).
The design is considered to be attractive by more or less all the editors. The headband is cushioned with a textile material which feels good on the top of your head. However most reviewers don't like the overall comfort of these headphones. One common complaint is that the caps makes the ears sore after a while and another that the headphones are too tight which causes too much pressure against the head. The editors do however appreciate the feature of an extra 3.5mm audio output which friends can use to listen to what you are listening too (good for travels in cars and airplanes). Another good thing about the design is that the caps can be folded into the headband curve which makes them easy to store in a backback or even in a handbag.
The built is solid and the quality level feels high, especially for this price level (around $60). Nice features like the foldable design discussed above and the textile feel of the audio cable is appreciated in the reviews.
The audio quality is OK but nothing out of the ordinary according to all reviewers.

TestSeek's Conclusion
Overall these headphones looks great and has a good solid built which feels like good quality, especially for the lower price level. The audio quality is OK but not much more and the headphones are just not comfortable enough for long time use according to most editors.

All-in-all, the Urbanears Plattans are a stylish pair of headphones that sound as good as they look. Pricing out at about $49.95 from Amazon (with free shipping), they're a good buy. The audio quality is good and the sound is balanced. They're not gig...
