With the release of Plattan in 2009, Urbanears changed the way the world saw headphones. Elevating headphones from the realm of chromed plastics to a colorful fashion accessory, paved the way for a new generation of electronics – a generation where form is just as important as function.
Urbanears is changing the game once again with a new release that takes a classic, reinvents it, and pumps it full of innovative features like a washable headband, 3D Hinge and an interchangeable cable.
To commemorate this new launch, Urbanears will be hosting a free online meets reality game of Pigeon Bingo starting Nov. 24. which will give away up to six hundred pairs of new Plattan ADV headphones.
Plattan ADV is available now for $60 USD at select Urbanears retailers worldwide, and online at www.urbanears.com.
PIGEON BINGO
The inspiration for Pigeon Bingo comes from the urban risk of getting bird poop on your head or clothes and is an initiative from headphone brand Urbanears, celebrating the release of Plattan ADV, headphones with innovative features including a washable headband (in other words: bird poop safe).
Users have a chance to win one of six hundred pairs of washable Plattan ADV headphones during Pigeon Bingo which will be live streamed twice a day from Nov. 24 to Nov. 26.
PLATTAN ADV FEATURES
– 3D Hinge
Each model comes with a new 3D hinge technology that automatically adjusts to the user’s ears and head for a soft and comfortable fit. After all, comfort is key.
– Interchangeable cable
In favor of keeping your options open, the Plattan ADV comes with an interchangeable cable, allowing you to choose to wear on either the left or right side.
– Washable headband
To keep your pair looking box-fresh, simply snap off the detachable fabric headband and throw it in the wash.
Since Plattan ADV is part of the family of Urbanears it also comes with handy features such as the ZoundPlug, collapsible structure, 3.5 mm stereo plug, microphone and remote.
PLATTAN ADV DESIGN
Retaining Plattan’s original spirit of minimalism, the design of Plattan ADV is more modern, with a slimmer, cleaner profile. Plattan ADV features a hinge that facilitates adaption to the users’ ears and head. The headband is size adjustable as well, with a snap-in-place-construction to prevent it from slipping. Designed to be even lighter than the original Plattan, Plattan ADV is super comfortable to wear even for hours on end.
PLATTAN ADV SOUND
Plattan ADV incorporates custom engineered 40mm neodymium speaker drivers with optimally shaped thin PEN membranes (19um) and lightweight voice coils (78mg) for maximum performance across the entire audio spectrum. If you’re a fan of real punchy bass, clean mid-range and detailed and extended highs you’re in for a treat – Plattan ADV provides a sound richer than your dirty grandpa.
The flexible hinge and soft ear cushions not only gives superb comfort but also an acoustically tight fit that translates to good sound isolation. You will disturb less and be less disturbed. The soft tight fit also helps to deliver a really deep bass, all the way down to 10Hz, with lots of power due to low acoustic leakage.
The excellent dynamics between the high and low frequencies creates a balanced, open and clear sound that improves the music listening experience weather you live for the emphatic beats in heavy metal or sail to the sounds of smooth jazz.
