1 Song, 2 videos. Both intimate and good in different ways.

DJ with your phone?! Step by step instructions on how to do it by downloading the Slussen app from Urbanears and attaching their adapter. You plug headphones into one side of the adapter and speakers into the other, and you’re good to go.
While supplies last: we’re giving away a Slussen adapter with purchase of any Urbanears headphones. Put both items (headphones & Slussen) into your cart and proceed to checkout. Type in the code SLUSSEN into the discount code box, and it will take off the price of the adapter. Check out the selection of colors here.
