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.
As advertised, they do provide excellent audio seclusion. With the ear cups on, it was impossible to hear anything but a slight background noise from any of the following: traffic noises, television at normal volume, or a dishwasher. In the Plattans&rsq...
Bass. Yes, the cello reproduction is listed above as a pro, but in all other regards, the bass is a con. Pop and dance music with electronic bass lines was often muddy and unclear. Songs like “Starstruck” by Lady Gaga and “Teardrop&rdq...
good sounding in line microphone, colors a plenty, braided cord, texture of headphones, stylish,
smaller earphone better on smaller ears (round not oval like your ear), not for audio enthusiasts.
Overall sound quality was typical of the $60 price tag; these headphone were designed for multi-function not high performance audio and as such they did a great all around job. Recommendations for these would be that at $60.00 there is a lot of competi...
The Urbanears Plattan headphones are inexpensive and come in a vast array of color options. They're also compact and stylish, and will work with music phones thanks to an integrated mic and call answer button
The Plattan headphones aren't terribly comfortable and overall audio quality is muddy
The Urbanears Plattan headphones are all about style, which unfortunately doesn't leave much room for great sound in this case. Beware of mushy bass, nasally mids, and an absence of clarity. Read full review See all prices
Abstract: These simple yet stylish headphones have a 20-20khz frequency response and 112dBA sensitivity, or in other words these headphones pack some serious sound. They also feature a lengthy 47″ fabric cord, a 3.5mm stereo plug and microphone and remote button. T...

Colours; sound quality; style; tangle-resistant cord; the ability to fold the headphones; price
Not ideal for prolonged use
Overall, the Plattan headphones are great: stylish and good-quality. Suitable for almost any situation (provided you're not planning to wear them for hours on end), they make your music sound great and come in at a competitive price
The Urbanears instantly charm you with their fabric covered headband, folding ear-cups (for neat portability) and high-quality, colour coordinated ear cushions. The design offers less audio ‘leak’ than other similar on-ear designs, which has the added
Affordable; come in a vast array of colour options; compact and stylish; will work with music phones, thanks to an integrated mic and call-answer button

The Urbanears Plattan headphones are all about style, rather than producing great sound. Beware of their mushy bass, nasal mids and absence of clarity ...
Well, the Urbanears Plattan headphones belong to this breed and are comfortable to wear as well. A metal wire frame connects the earphones to the headband. Unlike many other headphones, these come with a fabric cord, attached to which is a remote and a mi...
