 Hello, I'm Neil. Welcome back to the Happy Hearts. Thanks for clicking on this video because I will be unboxing this, the Urban Ears Platin 2 Indigo headphones. They're gorgeous, and I know this because I've got a pair of Platin 1 headphones, the original ones, which you'll see in a minute. They're completely clapped out. I've worn them every day for about four or five years. So I wanted to see how these compared with the original Platin. These are lovely. Take a look at this. So this is the Platin 2 Indigo. Is it Platin or Platin? I don't know. And there's the flap. I'll push these two buttons. I've got it upside down. There we go. Look at that packaging. It's gorgeous. Presented a top of triangle. Oh, I'll show you what else is in the box in a minute, and there they are. As ever with these unboxings, I'm reaching around the camera. Oh, so it's a bit tricky. Look at that. It's a nice label there. A bit like the label on my original Platin. I'll show you some other crucial differences that I've already noticed. But let's open this. It's like a folded card triangle pyramid of technology. Oh, look what's in here. There's an Urbaniz sticker. You put that on your forehead. There's the cable tie. All tucked in neatly. That's what the let's get the focus right. It's a 3.5mm jack. If I compare that with the original Platin, which is kind of a, I know it's the same kind of, wow, looks is that the same? It's probably an optical illusion. Look how battered my poor 3.5mm jack is. That's after about five years of use, I think. Four years, almost continuously daily. It's still working beautifully, but man, it's going to be nice to have this. And look at the other crucial difference. See, I've, over the years, tried to bend it this way, but Urbaniz have very kindly pre-bent it for you. So this 3.5mm jack is at an angle. And I don't think you can see it says, there's the focus, Urbaniz. The other crucial difference, which I've noticed on the packaging is this. He says, pulling it out. I thought this was a jack. Should I pull it out? Yes, it is. That could have gone horribly wrong, couldn't it? So, there is, this cable is completely replaceable. And the other groovy thing, I guess, is that you can plug it into either ear, which I don't think is the case with the original platen, because look, it's permanently wired. I think if I pulled that out, I would destroy my headphones. So that's the first nice touch with the platen, too. There's the L-shape jack and the ear end can go in either ear. And, obviously, one of the benefits of platen, if you've not had one of these before, is that you can daisy chain them so that I can plug these headphones. Oh, look at them, my poor dead babies. That could go into here. And you can daisy chain it on. Wouldn't it be good? I know you can't, but wouldn't it be good if anyone in that daisy chain could answer the phone call for you? Click and look at the microphone. I'm all over the place because I'm giddy with the excitement, but this is what the microphone looks like. It's got urban ears on the back, man. Do they like putting their name on stuff? And rightly so. And you press the button to, God, a state of my hands. It's from fixing the door. And one click to answer. And if you compare that with the old urban ears, which is curved, it's a nice flatter design. I wonder if the length is just for comparison. The length of cable to mic is about the same. It's about slightly shorter. The earphone padding is stitched around the edge and mine have completely come off. But from memory, look at it, because every time I wear them, these platen headphones will get bits of indigo foam on my face. I don't think I'll have that problem as quickly with these. I've used these daily for about four years. So I'm really pleased with them, but their time has come, I think. On the platen, too, there's a stitched edge and this part is stitched as well, and it looks much stronger. The other differences are, just hold them side by side, on the original platen, you can see these kind of angle. They fold up that way. Let me demonstrate that on the other side so that folds up this way. But on the platen, too, the hinge, the whole thing hinges. And look, isn't that gorgeous? Look at that nice bit of silver under there. So it's much more generous in being able to fold your cable around here. So then that winds round like that, so you hold them in place. You'll see that the side of the headphones, there's a silver ring edge, which is the same as the old one. It's a lovely design, which is invisible from the side. But the big change is this bit of silver, this kind of brushed chrome look ending. On the headset there. That's different from here, where any of the middle bit folded round. I mean, I kind of liked wrapping the cable around that. But this will be much stronger, I think, much less prone to snapping, although these have survived an unbelievable amount of pounding. On the old platen, the fabric is stitched both sides. And on this one, it's not quite as nice to me, but it's practical. There's kind of a rubbery foam on the side that comes into contact with your head. I'll try and get a bit close up. So you have fabric on top and wipe clean foam. Now, for a bawdy like me, that will probably come in very, very useful. Because, as you can imagine, I'll show the old platen again. I bet that I've seen some filth from my head. Obviously I have a clean head. I'm surprised this is still indigo colour. But what might be a big improvement is to have a kind of a wipe clean head surface. The ears twist really easily. That doesn't seem to be putting under massive strain. It's like the whole headset is designed to angle. However comfortably you want to wear it, there's a lot of give here. I can't feel an actual swivel. It just seems to want to bend really easily. And obviously you can adjust how big your big head is by sliding them up and down there. So let me take you through the box. If you've got this far, why not give me a thumbs up to let me know that this might have been useful to you. But I'll close this unboxing by showing you the box. So that's the front. Urban ears platen indigo, my favourite colour. It's platen 2. Nice picture on the side. And on the back, platen 2 is the classic t-shirts of your headphone wardrobe. Made for all day comfort, platen keeps your ears alive with a full sound experience and little extras that perk up everyday listening. I can vouch for that. So there is the flexible 3D hinge which helps the headphones adapt to you. On the cable there's a built in mic and remote that lets you skip between tracks and pick up calls. And the third feature is the sound plug takes spontaneous music sharing to a whole new level. Platen's an easy travel companion too with a detachable cord. And feature 4, collapsible structure. Pretty impressive, huh? I'll leave you with those stats. So I hope this review has helped. If it has at all, thanks very much for watching. Why not click thumbs up. I really appreciate it. Or if you wanted to hit subscribe and show the love that way, that would be much appreciated. They would just say hi on the comments. It would be lovely to hear from you. But thanks again for watching. These are the Urban ears platen 2 indigo headphones. I give them a massive double thumbs up. And now I'm going to run these into the ground for the next 5 years. Thanks for watching. But look, you get what can only be described as a massive poster. Bit of a weird, freaky image that I will have nightmares about. It's a poster. Oh man, I'm not getting that out of my retina. Look, I have to zoom out. Look at this. It's a big creepy poster. All of your Urban ears nightmares come true. Or are they dreams? I could be this guy.
