Headphone review from Urbanears

Urbanears headphones often seem much more expensive than they really are - they are perceived as designer, exclusive. And for this there are reasons, for example, bright colors are used to create the design, the Scandinavian style is maintained, and the quality of the assembly and materials is complemented by the "image". On a hangout with professional musicians with any of the models of Urbanears is not a shame to appear. However, potential buyers have relevant questions: how good these headphones in the characteristics and sounds. Consider several models to understand what really is this "beautiful cover".

Earphone Urbanears Plattan

This model is somewhat similar to the above. Headphones overhead type, closing. They are dynamic. Connect to the sound source, not only with wire, but also on bluetooth. The latest version is 4.0. A similar driver is 40 mm. The frequencies perceived by the headphones are slightly different - from 10 to 20 thousand Hz. The impedance was 60 ohms, and the sensitivity was 96 dB. Power - 50 mW. The weight of the device without a cable is 140 grams.

Completion of models Plattan and Zinken

Both models are supplied by the manufacturer in cardboard boxes. They are made of thin canvas. The complete set includes documents, a cable of a removable type. The Plattan also has a cable for charging the battery. There is no case or case, although many modern models are completed with one of them. But on the other hand, by European standards, these models are quite inexpensive - 99 euros, so to hope that the manufacturer has put any bonuses - there is no sense.

Headphones design

In different colors, headphones from Urbanears are sold. Feedback about the appearance is positive. In the market you can find different models - from black to purple. Why is that? In Sweden (the country of origin) headphones are sold in specialized clothing stores, which is why companies are trying to make their equipment under all possible options. Also this makes the headphones bright and fashionable.

Design of models

Model Zinken is a DJ, so it has a pretty strong headband. The hinges are made of metal. Thanks to him, the model can both rotate and fold. The angle of the turn of the cups is small, so many owners state that the hinges here are superfluous.

One of the cups has a 3.5 mm connector, the other - 6.3 mm. This allows the use of cables with different plugs. Accordingly, there is no need to use an adapter. In the model of Plattan, everything is a little different. These wireless headphones have a cable with a remote and a microphone, but at both ends there are 3.5 mm connectors. The cord is extremely thin, it has a fabric covering. Do not rustle and do not bring discomfort. Often owners of this cable carry with them as an alternative solution, if the battery is exhausted. The headband has a cloth roller. It can be removed and washed if necessary. For the latter, water is not hotter than 30 ° C.

Headphones of an overhead type, accordingly, can press on ears. However, with time, the spring is weakened. The charging port of the model with the battery is on the right side of the bowl. There you can also find a button to turn on the device and search for the source of music. It's all the same key. To activate the search, you must hold it for six seconds. The same cup has a touch-sensitive control panel on the upper side. Here you can answer incoming calls, change the playlist and increase / decrease the volume. The model Plattan next to the panel is located indicator. If it glows red, then the battery should be recharged, if white - then the battery status is 100%.

The drivers of both models have the same diameter - 40 mm. However, the constructions are different. Headphones Zinken have a double diaphragm, while Plattan is only a single diaphragm. Both are made by hand.

Sound Models

Despite the fact that the models have serious differences in the design, their sound remains at the same level. In any case, if the wireless model is connected using a cable. The upper frequencies are markedly lowered, the lower ones are unnecessarily raised. This is very noticeable when listening without the included equalizer. Especially if you use a computer as the sound source. With smartphones, these problems are almost invisible. Such a contrast between the frequencies was created in order to brighten the weak power of the phones. When playing back with stronger devices (some tablets, computers, musical instruments and so on), most often the sound is distorted. However, reviews about it, in connection with the price category, are not bad.

Performance of the Plattan model

Without additional recharging, the model can work up to 14 hours, but this figure is inaccurate. It all depends on the volume, the level of music, the distance to the sound source. Many owners use headphones for about 3 days and only then they charge.

Headphones Urbanears Kransen often use with phones from the American "apple". Connection is by cable. The sensitivity of the headphones is 100 dB. The frequency range is from 20 to 20 thousand Hz. Headphones are dynamic type, are a typical headset in the form of plugs. The impedance is 32 ohms, and the membrane has a diameter of 10 mm. There is no fastening, and the cable has a braid of fabric.
