for your listening

For Christmas this year, I received this package.

And I was like what the hell is this Pops?

And I opened it up and discovered it was a pair of headphones!

And I was all, "Thanks Dad!"

And that's when I discovered Urbanears. They are a Scandinavian brand that started very recently. They only have three products out- the Plattan headphones (the ones above that I have), the Tanto headphones which are a bit smaller (actually the ones on the package up top), and the Medis, little earbuds. They all come in about 20 colors.

The Plattan ones have a "Zound Plug", which is a socket that allows a friend to plug in their headphones and listen in to your Plattans. They also have a microphone that is compatible with Nokia, iPhone, and if you're a crackberry person, Blackberry, too. They also can be folded down to the size of your fist so they don't take up too much room in your recycled canvas bag, you hypebeast, you.

They're pretty good priced for their sound quality- about $60- and who doesn't want a pair of hot pink headphones to wear on the subway?
