Kool Tools: Urbanears X Roland headphones
Thanks to a collaboration with Roland–Garros, Urbanears (https://www.urbanears.com/ue_us_en/) has released a new edition of its Active Hellas headphones fit to sweat on the tournament’s famous surface of champions.
From May 16 to June 5, the Roland–Garros tennis tournament (aka French Open) will once again volley into action. Held in Paris each spring, the sporting event fills the city with the world’s most skillful players, crowds of devout match goers, and contemporary art lovers for 14 days of panache. Swedish headphone brand Urbanears is taking part part in the Roland–Garros tradition through this first time collaboration. The result is a clay-red edition of Hellas, a pair of sweat-friendly wireless Bluetooth headphones from the new Active collection.
Sports headphone Hellas are designed to keep it classy on the courts with a washable headband and ear-cushions, a built-in mic, and a swipe interface that lets you cycle through your power-playlist with nothing more than finger play. The Roland-Garros edition is available for purchase at Roland-Garros stadium shops, at select stores and online at Urbanears.com for $120.
