Some may argue with me, but for me, listening to music is a very intimate thing. I have a discomfort in playing music that I like in full blast, for everyone to hear. I feel like I’m invading other people’s boundaries. But listening parties and gigs would be exceptions – in those kind of events, there’s an invitation and agreement to listen to music as a group.
That’s why I always preferred listening to music in private, with my headphones. And just like music, a pair of headphones is a very personal thing to me too. I invest in my headphones and keep them clean as much as I can – wiping them clean with isopropyl alcohol or Lysol. That’s why I shy away from white or pastel colored headphones, even though I find them the prettiest. I foresee the whole cleaning process a little scary.
That’s I got so excited when Urbanears came out with their new concept for headphones, the Urbanears Humlan. It’s the world’s first headphone with washable parts.
Urbanears Humlan’s headband and ear cushions are removable. You can niftily put them in the laundry bag (included in the packaging) and throw them into your laundry.
Just like the other Urbanears products, Humlan also comes with the very brilliant feature, Zound Plug, for easy (and private) music sharing!
It also has built-in microphone and remote. I can conveniently fast-forward, rewind and adjust the volume, as well as pick up calls if it’s plugged in my mobile phone. And don’t forget the impressive audio quality of Urbanears! They got it right with my preference – the crisp mids and deep bass.

I personally think that Urbanears Humlan headphones is a great Christmas gift idea. Who wouldn’t love a pair of headphones that can always look new! They also come in other yummy colors, just visit Urbanears.com

Hi! I just want to ask if the content of the box differs depending on where I bought my pair? Cause I bought mine yesterday at SM Dept. But I didn’t received the things you got in your box. Mine came in with a user guide, a poster, a sticker(not the heart one) and the headphones. I didnt receive the warranty booklet, that urbanears booklet and the washing bag. The color I got is Moss. Is it because its the newer colors? Even the box is different. Not like the unboxing blogs and videos that I watched. Hoping for your reply!
Hi! Is it the exact model, Humlan? My hunch is, it is a newer packaging release. 🙂
Yes! I didn’t notice the packaging when I bought it. But I was starting to wonder why it didn’t came in with the washing bag that I thought it would go with… But from what I researched.. all the unboxing blogs that i’ve seen are the first 10 colors that they released. And I think the one I got is a new color…..? Maybe that’s why it changed? And i do want to ask if the only thing I can donwith the control is to stop and play the music? I’ve read it once that you can skip songs or something with it… but idk how. Hehe. Thanks for responding. 🙂
For the packaging: Maybe it’s a newer color/edition, the packaging changed.
For the buttons: Based on experience, you can only pause and play.
