TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary   

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.
