Urbanista True Wireless Earbuds Headphones with Active Noise Cancelling, 25 Hours Playtime, Touch Controls & 6 Microphones for Clear Calling, Bluetooth 5.0 Earphones, London, Blue

at least as well made and esthetic as the apple version ... sound and fit is all great ... really nice to have a choice of colors

At a big discount (> $20) I thought I'd take a chance on these earbuds. They sounded very good to my non audiophile ears. They were cumbersome to connect and the controls were difficult to use.Less than two months into my experience with them, the left bud stopped working. Hours of re-setting and reconnecting and re-charging have failed to fix the problem.

Great sound quality. I have experienced some issues connecting both sides, but otherwise an excellent product.

I did a lot of research before buying these, and from most of the professional reviews it seemed like they were a viable alternative to Apple's AirPods Pro. I don't agree that the audio quality is as bad as many reviews on here say, they're definitely better than most cheap headphones you'll find, but I do wish they had more bass.However, my main issue has been connectivity with my Macbook Air laptop. They have functioned flawlessly with my iPhone, connect instantly, are great for calls, etc. However, they are borderline unusable with my computer. The sound goes in and out from one side to the other, is often out of sync with videos on Youtube, and there is a periodic cracking/popping noise that occurs. I sat on the phone for an hour with Apple's tech support, thinking it was an issue with the bluetooth on my computer, but after doing several resets, forcing the computer to use the internal mic rather than that on the headphones, and downloading software that forces the computer not to downgrade the sound codec, I'm still having issues with these. Tried to use them on a Zoom call and halfway through the meeting, the sound totally dropped, though they displayed as being connected and were fully charged beforehand.When I contacted Urbanista's customer support, I explained the situation to them. I received a reply saying that because the headphones connected fine with my phone, they wouldn't consider them faulty. When I pushed the issue and said that on their website they are advertised as being compatible with computers (both Mac and PC) I was simply told to try resetting them and eventually they shifted responsibility for the problem to Apple.If I had paid $60 for these, I might be more satisfied, but to have paid over $100 for headphones that I can't use with my laptop, is quite disappointing, as is the response from Urbanista's customer support team. I really hoped these would be a great alternative to an Apple product, but I simply can't fully recommend them given their disappointing performance switching between devices.

The sound quality is incredible, the ambience boosting is perfect and the noise cancelling can even shut out the roar of walking through a data center (for those who don't know how loud that can be imagine 10 pickup trucks revving their engines mixed with 100+ blenders spinning away at one time) and they fit pretty well and come with several ear pieces to choose from to get it right. However, in addition to some kinda annoying pairing issues and little things like sometimes having to take an earbud out of your ear and put it back real quick to get it to pick up the touch inputs the case itself has a major flaw. There are two sets of 2 little metal prongs that slide in and out of the case and make contact with the earbuds to charge, one of them just got stuck inside the case and as such will no longer charge the right earbud. I could not get it to pop back out and am in the process of returning them which is a shame because I did like them a lot, maybe this is a one-off accident but it's something to be aware of.

Bought a pair of these Urbanista London and after using them for less than 3 weeks, the right-side earbud would only last around 30 minutes after being fully charged, and then the battery would just cut out. This was the second pair of Urbanista London that has been defective. I ordered the same pair in August, 2023 and it was also defective as it couldn’t be paired so I sent it back for a refund. Now my second pair from another company is also defective. So annoying. The price of this second pair was reduced so much that it’s not even worth the time and effort to have it sent back to the company for a replacement/refund. Staying away from this brand in the future for sure.

I preferred the galaxy earbuds plus over these urbanistas and also over the jabra 85 series. If the urbanistas had an app where the touch features were customizable, I would have a hard time deciding between them and the earbuds plus. Also disliked the fact that tapping for volume up/down did not integrate with android phone, so you never were sure how loud or quiet your earbuds were set too. Awful oversight in my opinion. These offered excellent call quality but not perfect rejection of ambient noise and were comfortable enough to lay down on a pillow on ones side.

Sound is greatNoise canceling is greatBattery life is okAfter 3 months of use, they become more difficult to pair when changing between devices ( home computer and iPhone ).Presently, the left one works and pairs, the right one does not work .
