Images from These Mar Jacobs Headphones Can Be Thrown In The Wash Like A T-Shirt

The blog title These Marc Jacobs Headphones Can Be Thrown In The Wash Like A T-Shirt on Fast Company thrilled me! I cannot imagine throwing a piece of electronic device into a washing machine.

However, after reading through the whole blog, I am not that excited about the washable feature. People can peel off the headband and the ear cushions and throw them into the washing machine, but not throwing the entire headphone directly into the washing machine.

Apart from this unexcited news, the new headphone still reminds me “positioning”. Beats’ headphones are widely recognized with high quality. Urbanears cannot compete with Beats at this perspective. However, Urbanears is smart. They cooperate with Marc Jacobs, a famous international fashion company, to design this washable headphone “Humlan”. Teaming up with Marc Jacobs brings “Humlan” a sense of fashion. In addition, the unique washable feature still makes life easier when the headphone gets dirty. Also, this headphone only sells for $60, which is much cheaper than Beats. Urbanears can be a nice substitute for Beats with less cost.
