Urbanears ventures to Scotland in search of the story behind the most gentlemanly of fabrics - Harris Tweed. Take the tour yourself!
A perennial classic that never goes out of style, Harris Tweed is the only fabric in the world that’s governed by its own UK Act of Parliament. Now, you can make this piece of Scottish Heritage part of your everyday listening experience.
We’re so excited to introduce the latest in the Urbanears Edition line-up, the Plattan Tweed Edition. This very special Plattan is enveloped in hand-woven Harris Tweed, made from 100 percent virgin wool which is spun and woven in the outer Hebridges – a tradition that dates back more than 150 years.
The Plattan Tweed Edition is part of a range of Urbanears headphones designed with a little something extra. Previous models have included the Plattan Denim Edition and the Plattan Quilted Edition. These won’t be around forever, so snap them up while you can!
Due to high demand Plattan Tweed Edition is no longer available from the webshop.

So what features come with the most ambitious headphone we’ve ever created?
First off is the TurnCable, our solution for an adapter-free life. Completely detachable, the TurnCable comes with two plugs, one on each end. There’s a 6.3mm plug on one end for DJ sessions and a 3.5mm plug for music listening on the other, because as much as you want to, you can’t spend all hours of the day plugged into your mixer.
With a coiled section on the cord, the TurnCable lets you move about without getting unplugged and disrupting the sound coming from your headphones. It’s also designed for maximum durability with a rugged Kevlar® core – a material strong enough to stop bullets.
We thought you might appreciate having the ZoundPlug on the Zinken, so we took this feature – originally on our Plattan headphones – and incorporated it into the design so a friend can plug in and listen to your music.
Next up, we’ll tell you about Zinken’s sound. Stay tuned.
People tend to wear their headphones for hours on end, and we took this into consideration when developing Zinken. We can say with confidence that Zinken is one of the most comfortable headphones to put on and keep on for extended periods of time – whether on a long commute or an extra-long DJ session.
To get into specifics, the Zinken features swivel caps and an adjustable headband that allows you to wear your headphones in a variety of ways. The ear cushions are made with increased foam density, multiplying the comfort factor while providing superior noise isolation.
The Zinken’s collapsible design also makes storage and transport easy, so you can toss them in your bag and be on your way without worrying about space or damage.
We thought a lot about the materials we chose to use for Zinken. We know that clubs can often be hot, so we made sure that the materials we used don’t absorb sweat or odors.
Of course, the Zinken also features a microphone and remote that’s compatible with iPhone, Blackberry, HTC, Samsung and more, so you can use them to pick up and make calls.
Check back next week for more on Zinken’s features such as the TurnCable and ZoundPlug, as well as its sound.
Introducing Zinken – the most ambitious headphone created by Urbanears yet.
Zinken is a brand new approach to the concept of a headphone as a musical instrument. Developed with the professional DJ in mind, with respect to the wallet of the unpaid amateur, Zinken is chock-full of handy features that you never even knew you needed.
Stay tuned for more detailed descriptions about Zinken, including its sound, and unique features like the dual-duty TurnCable over the coming weeks.
In the meantime, check out the Urbanears Facebook page for the latest images of Zinken and follow Urbanears on Twitter for the latest news.
