Swedish headphone outfit Urbanears today announced a new line of accessories for the traveller, commuter and music fan. The colourful gear will be released throughout 2015 and will include the everything needed to ease the stress of modern life.
If you are an Urbanears fan, you’ll notice their DNA and design aesthetic in the accessories. Fabric cables and tags echo their headsets, and the clever SnapConstruction keeps the pieces together.
The first accessories to hit the stores this spring are the Thunderous Lightning Cable, the Concerned Micro-USB Cable and the Helpful Phone Case, for iPhone 5 and iPhone 6. Available in seven different colours – black, dark grey, tomato, true white, chick, jam and mint, they’ll be on sale at select Urbanears retailers worldwide, and at urbanears.com by March 24th.
The Helpful Phone Case is simple but clever. It looks like any normal iPhone case for the 5 or 6, but it has a hidden slot to take an RFID travel or metro card. It’s then a case (sorry!) of swiping your phone to get through the barrier and on your way. Genius.
