Urbanears Zinken (Petrol) Headphone Review

When I ask most audiophiles to name their most desired set of headphones, the pervading choice is almost always Beats By Dre. Forget the fact that the company makes over a dozen different types of cans. [...]

Urbanears Zinken review

Plattan and Bagis, two of the more popular lines of headphones from Sweden-based Urbanears, have gone up rapidly in popularity in just a couple of years. But not being one to sit on its laurels, Urbanears has now come out with the Zinken, its new line...

Urbanears Zinken review

The Urbanears Zinken headphones bring DJ-style swiveling earcups to the party, along with a dual-duty TurnCable with both 3.5mm and 6.3mm connectors

Comfy, foldable design ; Great audio ; Switchable cable for 6.3mm inp

Stylish design ; Handy DJ features ; Strong bass

Unimpressive overall sound quality ; Build quality issues

The Urbanears Zinkens offer comfort and handy features, with a street styling to boot. Amateur DJs -- or at least those of you whose music tastes lie firmly in the electronic genres -- will appreciate the big bass. The audio purists won't get on with...
