# Returning DJ-Ready Headphones Urbanears Brought Back its 'Zinken' Headphones with New Colors By Colin Smith | Published 2024-01-18 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zinken References: [urbanears](https://www.urbanears.com/ca/en/zinken.html)  Urbanears officially brought back its 'Zinken' headphones, its fan-favorite pair of DJ Booth-ready over-ear headphones. The Zinken is a premium and sustainable yet affordable accessory due to its 87% recycled plastic frame, its dynamic - 40mm, 30mW drivers, and its 20kHz frequency. Urbanears also packages its Zinken headphones with a 'TurnCable' that prevents the need for adapters or additional accessories while DJing. Urbanears notes that even during longer DJ sessions, or while casually wearing the headphones throughout the day, they will not get uncomfortable due to the padded ear cushions. Additionally, these cushions are easily replacable due to the Zinken's convenient design. The Zinken headphones are available now from Urbanears' official website, as well as certain third-party retailers, such as [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puroquiet-plus). The headphones retail for $129 USD and are available in three colorways: Jet Black, Taxi Yellow, and Salsa Red.
