History

In 2009, a group of Scandinavian entrepreneurs, graphic designers, and self-proclaimed tech nerds got together to fill a void in the market: substantial earbuds and headphones that deliver big on both sound and design. Based in Stockholm, Urbanears makes its products to be universally compatible with a wide range of music players, and some of their models even feature nifty touches like Apple-certified volume control remotes.

Philosophy

Listening devices should look as good as they sound. Urbanears produces superb-gadgets in an ever-evolving variety of enticing colors. They’re designed to meet the music needs of everyone from subway commuters to professional DJs.
