If you commute in the city then you know the biggest statement you can make on the streets are your headphones. I’ve been a fan of over-the-ear headphones for a while because of their subway sound-resistant quality and their ability to serve as musical earmuffs in the winter. After my last pair broke I’ve been on a web-wide search for the perfect new set, but with little luck. I needed something easily portable and with great sound quality, but without compromising style. That was until I ran across Urbanears.com, a Scandinavian company with the coolest headphones on the market. They are solid and simple headphones but with colors and sound that reach far beyond mono. Urbanears come in three different styles for those of you who prefer something a little more discreet and 13 different colors ranging from chocolate, white, ocean, navy, and salad green. They also have a hands-free mic on the cord so you can listen to music on your iPhone/Blackberry without missing a call. Now the only problem is choosing which color suits you best. Now worries if you can't decide, at only 60 bucks a pop why not buy a color for everyday of the week?
