Urbanears Plattan 2 Wireless Bluetooth Over Ear Headphones – Powder Pink

Product Information

Like Sony with its recent LinkBuds, Urbanears is making a beeline to become climate neutral in its operations; but the Swedish lifestyle brand is looking to get there sooner with its 2030 target. The Boo Tip and the Boo earphones are the first products out of the gate. Even Lena agrees, “ I was looking for some headphones like the ones from Urbanears for a while and I was so excited to see them available for such a reasonable price. I bought them right away and I’ve been using them for 3-4months now and so far the experience is great.” Even though the brand has been around for more than 10 years, it appears they may have some kinks to work out. However, this Urbanears headphones review will break everything down to make sure you know what you’re in for when you invest in one of their audio experiences. Urbanears Headphones Review The soundstage is described with width; it isn’t too dissimilar to the similarly priced 1More ColorBuds 2, allowing vocals and instruments to breath while avoiding that feel of a soundstage that’s described in cramped terms. Some may actually prefer the loose fit. The popularity of Apple’s AirPods show that people aren’t too concerned about hearing what’s around them and their music at the same time. While the seal isn’t always the strongest, the Boo Tip never felt like they would fall out, whether as a result of vigorous head shakes or running up the steps to try to catch a train – they always remained in place. So they’re loose, but music still sounds good – even though bass is slightly impacted.

But as good as they sound, this barely matters with the amount of dropouts we experienced with these headphones. When we did our initial listen in a hotel room these were less apparent, but step into an area with more interference and the drop-outs are regular.With their comfortable fit and sleek design, Urbanears headphones are the perfect way to enjoy your music. In our collection of the label’s headphones, you’ll discover an array of lightweight and easily portable options – so you can enjoy your favourite songs on the go.

Founded in 2015 by CEO and founder, Alexander Malamud, Treblab manufactures personal listening devices that are accessible for everyone. Treblab is headquartered in Miami, FL, and takes a customer-centered methodology to all their innovative designs. Finally, the headphones give Cecilia Ann by the Pixies all the rhythm and dynamism the song deserves without compromising on its detail and layering.Now that you have an idea of what the brand is all about, this Urbanears headphones review will now look at one of their competitors: Treblab.

Because of their need to contain a battery, many wireless headphones end up feeling a little weighty. The Plattan 2 Bluetooth have no such problem, but this can give them a slightly cheap feel. Frankly, they still feel well constructed so we wouldn’t get too hung up about it. At 3.95g per bud, you can wear the Boo Tip for a while without experiencing any discomfort; but there’s something about the way they fit that doesn’t gel for me.Now that you have seen some of the brand’s products and how they compare with a competitor, this Urbanears headphones review would like to show you what their customers really think. In addition, although the wash of ambient sound can mix with music, on the underground it didn’t get to the point where it overwhelmed the music I was listening to. You get small, medium and large silicone tips to manage the seal/fit, and swapping between medium and large had no discernible effect on the sound quality. Battery life with the case is 30 hours, 4.5 hours per earphone. In the few weeks I’ve used the buds, I haven’t needed to charge the case often. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I did. There’s no mention of fast or wireless charging, but the latter seems unlikely. Like other Zound Industries’ wireless earphones, the Boo Tip limit charge to 80% to prolong the use of the buds.

It’s a laudable goal, but these earphones still have to perform – otherwise, they won’t be of much use to anyone. Design The earphones are rated at IPX4, so these are an option for use while exercising or during wet weather. The case is rated to IPX3, which is good enough to fend off sprays of water. Yes, the soundstage is a touch constricted, but we’re inclined to give it a pass at this price point. PCMag writer Tim Gideon writes in his 2020 Urbanears Luma Review that the headphones have a stylish and sophisticated look, which is offered in a variety of colorways. He also enjoyed how the earphones are water-resistant, adding that the mic provided lots of clarity.

WORLD

Crossing one particularly busy street we found that the headphones seemed to be cutting out more than they were actually playing the music. Nowadays, listening to music or podcasts with headphones needs to be an actual immersive experience. But you can’t do that with shoddy headphones. Which is why Urbanears has worked hard from its inception to make sure people are hearing quality. Similar to Urbanears, all of Treblab’s earphones, except for the N8’s, are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0. The brand also has more water-resistant options, which is appreciated depending on where you live. Step into more Marshall territory and the headphones still hold up well, although detail can occasionally suffer. I Found a Way by Alkaline Trio is expressive and dynamic through the headphones, even if you won’t be blown away by how clearly you can hear the bass buried in the mix.
