I have these headphones not purchased through Amazon, but (which also sold out are now) get low on the shell-point system. Well I must admit that my old carrot of Xperia PLAY headphones as not all compatible accessories Classified, but what for gibbet MP3 player.
I have the good pieces now since about a month, and the sound is very good. A cable break I can not determine, or even detachment of the polymer coating.
On the subject of cable break:
This is usually the cause of the user, and it often caused the user to cable kinking. This is an absolute no-go for any wired device or accessory. If the cable is kinked desöffteren the cable break is inevitable sooner or later. This leads, moreover, usually to solve the polymer coating (Attention Women: Even wrapping the finger with the Köpfhörerkabel may result in unfavorable cases for cable break, so be careful with it).
Mark you who its headphone cable bends, will not have long to enjoy his headphones, whether they cost now 10 or 100 euros. The life of headphones is usually decisive halt to the user. A headset is just like any other electrical appliance, only if it is properly used and maintained well, it lasts a long time and we have no problems with it.
On the subject of defects:
Defects such as suddenly stopped functioning headphone side may occur, but there is the warranty Warranty (This is for electrical appliances usually 2 years, sometimes only 1 year). Each of the Amazon here asserted in this period the redemption or exchange denied the lying and wants to Amazon harming. Amazon exchanges always or even refund the purchase price, even if the guarantee has been running for more than one year.
Amazon does justice ALWAYS its warranty obligation. However, Amazon also checks whether the reason given is also applicable. So for example, if a defect in an electrical appliance (This includes headphones of any kind) by Verabeitungsfehler or fatigue is due, or due to improper handling (bending the cable counts as improper handling).
If there is an improper use, neither Amazon nor the manufacturer of the product, pay a replacement or a refund.
Conclusion:
The Urbanears Plattan headphones are well made, offer rich bass and outstanding heights. Cables and connectors are also well made and hold (If you will not constantly bends) was the usual stresses. The ear cups are quite small, but still can not make a sound to the outside when you are wearing, what for others is very pleasant even in bus or train. The maximum volume of the headphones depends very much on the connected media device from, a common smartphone like a Samsung S3 (S4, S5), IPone 3 (4, 5), will bring more volume from the headphones, as the 0-8-15 MP3 Player for 10-20 euros. The impedance (ie the electrical resistance) of the headphones is whopping 60 Ohmen. For small cheap mp3 player you should use most headphones with 16-32 Ohmen impedance, which are then also much louder. The only drawback with these headphones, is the lack of Kopalibität with older smartphones like the Sony Ericcson Xperia PLAY mentioned, but since the headphones are designed for modern smartphones that is manageable. With smartphones my work colleagues they work perfectly (Tested for IPone, Samsung S-Series and a Medion Smartphone). Even with an old iPod Mini they work perfectly.
My Recommendation:
Who does not want to spend much money and still want to have good quality which makes no mistakes when it accesses. And who a bit on how it pays attention to the cable bypasses, which will have to fear no cable break.
I wish all buyers a lot of fun with headphones.
