It's a jungle out there. Help save it with our extraordinary new release, Re:Plattan. Made from spare parts, the Re:Plattan also does a bit extra, in the form of protecting 5m2 of Costa Rican rainforest with purchase. By working together with Pax, each pair of Re:Plattan comes with a GPS tracking code, so you can see exactly where the rainforest that’s being protected is located.

Every little bit counts, so spread the Re:Plattan gospel with all of your friends. You can help protect even more rainforest, simply by liking us on Facebook. We will match every like we get through our Facebook campaign tab with a donation to protect another square meter of rainforest. Already like our page? Share the Re:Plattan gospel with your friends, and help save some space for a monkey or two to live in.

Here at Urbanears, we love color. That would probably explain why we had so much fun being a part of the Color Castle Recreation Project the HOPE Outdoor Gallery (HOG) at SXSW in Austin, Texas this week.

The HOPE Outdoor Gallery is a three-story art project located at 11th & Baylor St. Austin, TX. We were involved in working on the ‘Local to Global’ installation, with artists producing murals featuring the latest Spring/Summer Urbanears colors.

The Hope Outdoor Gallery works to raise awareness for the Helping Other People Everywhere (HOPE) campaign and is one of the largest outdoor galleries in Texas, created as a way to provide muralists, graffiti artists and community groups the opportunity to display large scale art pieces driven by inspirational, positive and educational messaging.

We’re going to be at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas starting today. If you’re in town, here’s a little cheat sheet to help you find us throughout the event.

From March 9 through the 14th, you can find us at the Hope Outdoor Gallery, a three-story art project located at 11th & Baylor Streets. One of the largest outdoor galleries in Texas, the Hope Outdoor Gallery was developed to provide muralists, graffiti artists and community groups the opportunity to display large scale art pieces driven by inspirational, positive and educational messaging.

We’ll have artists painting new murals featuring colors from the Urbanears spring collection every day at 11 am, and then on March 14 at 1:00pm we’ll unveil an Urbanears Collab Piece, followed by a Silent Disco party. Drop by the gallery for access to the party.

If you haven’t gotten your fill of us by then, we’ll be hosting a Backlot Concert Series together with Urban Outfitters from March 14 to 17. Concerts start at noon daily, but be sure to get there early as admittance is on a first come, first serve basis.

Each day, the first 100 guests will receive a free Slussen adapter. Find us at the Urban Outfitters store at 2406 Guadalupe St and see the band line up here: http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/blog/uo_backlot_sesh_2013

All week long starting March 8, you also can find us on the Wired RVIP Tour, a mobile karaoke unit housed in a customized RV, where we’ll be featuring Zinken headphones along with the Slussen adapter. Open later than any party, access to the RVIP lounge is always free. Routes change daily, so keep your eyes peeled and don’t be afraid to jump on and say hi.

SXSW runs from March 8 to 17 this year, offering the unique convergence of original music, independent film and emerging technologies. Find out more about the event on www.sxsw.com.

On the 27th Aug 2012 Urbanears took part in the Swergie event at the historic Cirkus arena on the island of Djurgården, in Stockholm. Check out the performance from the dance troupe that reenacted the Zinken brand video.

Winter’s almost over. For us in Stockholm, that’s a big deal. But even if there’s nothing related to a snowflake anywhere close to where you are, a splash of color is still always refreshing.

We’ve got three thirst-quenching colors in our Spring/Summer 2013 collection to add a pop of color to your headphone collection.

There’s Olive, a soft and warm yellowish-green shade, Coral, a sunny concoction of pink and orange tones, and Petrol, the versatile aquamarine hue that’s never too loud or showy.

Snap up your favorite shade before it’s too late!

Oh, and you can tag us @Urbanears on Instgram or follow us @Urbanears on Twitter too if you’d like. We’re a friendly bunch.
