Urbanears Announces Collaboration with Chinatown Market, Exclusive to Urban Outfitters
Stockholm, Sweden — Sept. 10, 2018
Urbanears today announces its collabora- tion with Chinatown Market. The exclusive- ly designed Plattan 2 headphones feature Chinatown Market’s signature smiley, a key identifier of the brand. The limited-edi- tion headphones are available at Urban Outfitters in the US and on Urbanears. com in the US and Sweden for $59.
Plattan 2 Chinatown Market Edition
Urbanears is a design-driven brand that loves to challenge conventions and norms on what can be done and how things should look. Urbanears’ minimal, functional design was ideal for the collaboration with Chinatown Market. It gave the brand a dark gray canvas to produce these simple, yet stylish, headphones embossed with the clas- sic Chinatown Market “Smiley” logo.
The Plattan 2 is a staple in the Ur- banears line-up, featuring a flexible
3D Hinge, extra isolating ear cushions and clear, well-defined sound. It boasts all of Urbanears’ iconic details — like the fabric cord, built-in mic/remote and music-sharing ZoundPlug.
