BAGIS

The Bagis is a compact version of the full Urbanears experience. It’s an earplug construction for a direct sound and efficient noise reduction. It features rubber housing along with a combined fabric and TPE cord to eliminate distortions caused by friction. As a bonus, each earpiece snaps together, allowing you to carry them around your neck when not in use, so you’ll always know where they’re at.

MEDIS

The Medis is an unprecedented experience in ergonomics and functionality. The EarClick Construction secures the earpiece at two separate points rather than one, relieving pressure from the ear canal for a more comfortable fit while keeping it firmly in place. Unlike other earphones the Medis simply stays in place.

EARCLICK CONSTRUCTION

At Urbanears we design and construct all of our products to play sound at an ample level with any music-playing device utilizing a 3.5mm standard socket. We also think it is natural to include a microphone and remote, as the majority of all portable music players are also cell phones, therefore we have added the functionality of a headset.

At about 130mm / 5” distance from the left earpiece, you’ll always find a microphone and remote on a pair of Urbanears headphones. The microphone is omnidirectional and receives frequencies from 15Hz to 16KHz and is constructed to capture voice at optimal capacity. The microphone is also equipped with a one-button remote for handling music and incoming calls.

We have chosen to adjust our products to support the dominating standard for mobile two-way communication, based on the 3.5 mm plug. This standard is used by manufact-urers such as Blackberry, HTC and Apple. However, not all suppliers have adapted to this standard and in fact have developed their own version, deliberately closing out third-party products such as ours. In many cases, adapters are still available from these manufacturers.

Ears come in all shapes and sizes, and many of them simply don’t work with a standard earphone. The Earclick Construction makes better use of the bottom of the ear – much like the standard construction – and utilizes an upward hook that secures the earpiece, exponentially increasing how well it rests in your ear. Additionally, it allows you to hear your surroundings and doesn’t affect your balance by closing the ear canal, making it perfect for use while you’re on the move. It may look freaky at first glance, but once you try it you’ll never go back.

EarClick Construction is featured on the Medis.

WHY?

The Urbanears concept is spawned from a number of ideas. Some that formed the project but just as many that came along the way. Primarily, there seemed to be no headphone manufacturers out there that shared our belief in what headphones are and how they are used. Our passion is to make headphones with a profound understanding of how they are used, how they are worn and why they are purchased.

Our vision is to add a number of elements to the concept of performance. Beyond the obvious aspirations of superb sound quality we have a vision of making head-phones that feel more like clothes than chromed plastics. We design headphones with respect to what they are expected to be, and with great attention to detail. A pair of Urbanears headphones are classic, rather than a bold design statement redefining the product category, but once you get your hands on a pair you will experience the difference.

We focus a lot of our time on making these headphones affordable. Still, we want each product to always come with a little extra functionality you wouldn’t expect and deliver great audio as well as ergonomics. Equally important, we work hard at making Urbanears available in stores near you.

The evolution of music formats has allowed you to carry your full collection in your pocket. Music has migrated from designated players to cell phones. It just seems stupid not to add a microphone and a remote, allowing you to pick up calls and communicate while you are listening to your music. We try to make your Urbanears function with the most relatable features on the market (Read more about this on page 41).

WHO WE ARE

Urbanears is a collective out of Scandinavia, and we are motivated by a common interest in global relationships and shared involvement in the relevance of our brand. Urbanears promotes a deeper connection to color, form, and people, while providing the freedom to transcend individuality and unify the sound experience.

WHO WE THINK YOU ARE

Much more important than anything else, we make Urbanears for you. We know for a fact that you are carrying a few weeks’ worth of music in your pocket, or maybe audio books, language courses, or simply a radio receiver. Statistically, you are a city dweller going back and forth to work or school. You sit at your desk, walk, ride your bike, run, travel or just vegetate at times… all to the sound of your carefully-chosen soundtrack. However, it’s just as likely that you live in a rural area. That doesn’t really doesn’t matter to us. What matters is that you’re pleased with your Urbanears headphones. We are convinced that you would consider the aesthetics of any type of hat before you bought it and that you feel the same way about a headphone.

We do not use large-scale surveys or consumer inter-views but rather, we think that you are much like us; sharing the same daily routines and needs. Urbanears is not intended for any specific subculture, age, sex, religion, race, or nationality. Rather, we make head-phones for anyone who is inclined to listen to music, no matter what kind.

THE NAME

First off, Urbanears is one word, written with no blank spaces. Anyone telling you different is wrong. It is a play on words with a mixture of meanings. The urban environment and the ear that connects our products with the user creates a movement that explores the cities of the world.

PRODUCT NAMES

Our products are named after places and districts in our hometown of Stockholm, Sweden. This is what the coordinates on the packaging refer to. Each spot has its own story and are all-important foundations of the city that we subconsciously draw much of our inspiration from.

THE HEART

The Urbanears heart logo is made up of the letter U in two units, turned around and overlapping each other and forming a heart turned to its side. To us it is a varia-tion of a classic shape, the heart, with a different story of construction and a multitude of meanings. Unlike most other brand logotypes, the Urbanears heart logo does not come with a specific color but rather a number of layers filtering lights differently. We want you to make Urbanears what it is to you rather than proclaiming a correct solution and the logo is part of this idea.

HOW WE DO IT

An Urbanears product is typically conceived through a vision of how a headphone is used and why. It could come from within the office or from you yourself. That said, we work out a rough sketch of functionalities, price point and production possibilities. All design and development is done in-house, monitoring development to stick with our key concepts. All in all, developing a new headphone takes the better part of a year, from the time the pencil meets the paper until you can plug in the final product. However, we constantly work on details with the feedback we receive, gradually fine-tuning each batch of Urbanears. Got an idea for an improvement or a product? Let us work on it together.

COLORS

We want to make a loud statement that Urbanears is something new and different, so we make our products in loads of colors and exchange them over the course of time. It really wasn’t long ago that electronic products taking the bold step out of the gray area were impossible to find. Color is a major part of Urbanears. We exchange them on a regular basis. Some colors stay with every col-lection, while others come and go. If you feel we’re miss-ing a certain color, drop us a line with a reference image or maybe even a Pantone number. We strive to have a complete line with any given retailer but many are unable to carry the full collection. Ask them to include your favorite in their next order, or find it on urbanears.com.
