Pros

Awesome noise blocking, great audio quality.
Powerful bass, Extra AUX for sharing, Build quality
As advertised, they do provide excellent audio seclusion. With the ear cups on, it was impossible to hear anything but a slight background noise from any of the following: traffic noises, television at normal volume, or a dishwasher. In the Plattans&rsq
Good sounding in line microphone, colors a plenty, braided cord, texture of headphones, stylish.
The Urbanears Plattan headphones are inexpensive and come in a vast array of color options. They're also compact and stylish, and will work with music phones thanks to an integrated mic and call answer button.

Cons

Some range lost playing certain tracks.
Weak highs and muddy mids on some recordings, Not comfortable on larger heads
Bass. Yes, the cello reproduction is listed above as a pro, but in all other regards, the bass is a con. Pop and dance music with electronic bass lines was often muddy and unclear. Songs like “Starstruck” by Lady Gaga and “Teardrop&rdq
Smaller earphone better on smaller ears (round not oval like your ear), not for audio enthusiasts.
The Plattan headphones aren't terribly comfortable and overall audio quality is muddy.

Overall sound quality was typical of the $60 price tag; these headphone were designed for multi-function not high performance audio and as such they did a great all around job. Recommendations for these would be that at $60.00 there is a lot of...
