I received my first pair of UrbanEars as a gift around 2011. I used them primarily on cross-country flights and while vacuuming the house. I was blown away by my old pair from the get-go. I had never experienced or thought it possible for such rich, round sound to come out of such a small package. My old faithful headphones finally developed a short where the wire meets the ear (before the cord was fully detachable) and I didn't hesitate to buy a new pair of Plattan 2s.
After six years, I'm still blown away with the quality and richness of sound UrbanEars is able to cram into the size and price point of the Plattan. I haven't shopped around much for headphones (why would I when I have these?), but I know a friend of mine paid roughly twice the price for another brand of cans that have tinny sound, a garbage mid-range, and a clunky, heavy cord that constantly gets in the way. The Plattan 2 is an incredible value.
My only criticisms of the Plattan 2 are:
- They're uncomfortable if you wear glasses, as I sometimes do for reading. The headphones really squish my ears if I keep my glasses on.
- I don't like the right angle where the cord plugs into the device. I know it's meant to decrease the risk of shorting out the wire, but that was never a problem for me and I prefer the old, fully straight cord. The right angle cord gets in my way when trying to hold my iPhone. (Sound quality is my #1 priority, which is why I refuse to use bluetooth headphones, which would obviously eliminate a cord getting in the way.)
- I purchased the Plattan 2 in "Indigo," which is pictured on Amazon and the UrbanEars box as a deep teal. In reality, Indigo is more of a dark, grayish-blue. I like the color, but it's not what I was expecting. Be aware that the colors are likely to vary from the photos.
Overall, the UrbanEars Plattan 2 are an excellent value and I can't imagine finding headphones in this price range that can touch this sound quality.

Do not buy! Terrible quality!
Do not buy! These headphones are such cheap quality. Only had a couple of month and the fabric is peeling off the ears. I reached out to customer service and they did nothing to help me. Save yourself the money and steer clear of this brand!

Love these headphones! Good quality for a reasonable price. As someone else in the reviews said they are a bit more bass heavy, but for me that's a good thing.Claire GGreat headphones, Tomato colour option pictures not accurate

I ordered the Tomato colour and they are nowhere near as red as on the main photos. I would say they are more of a bright, fluorescent, pinky, orange colour. (Sorry, the photos I took on my phone are a little dark. The top left of the headband in the closer photo is a more accurate representation of their overall colour).
The cable is more of a shoe lace material than a usual rubber/plastic one, if that matters to you.
When I first plugged these into my Mac at work to listen to music, the balance sounded slightly more to the right-side of my hearing, so I had to adjust the settings on my Mac to the left to make the music sound like it was "in the middle of my hearing", if that makes sense.
They are easy to fold up and adjust; I feel a lot better about carrying them in my overflowing rucksack since the ear parts fold up into the headband.
Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a decent pair of good value good quality headphones.
