With support for SBC and AAC codecs, these Bluetooth earbuds are great for Android and iOS users. The earbuds were designed by legendary former Sennheiser headphone engineer Alex Grell. And it shows. The Urbanista Seoul are some of the best sub-$100 earbuds I’ve ever heard in a long while. With up to eight hours of playtime, plus another three full charges in the storage case, the Seoul have sufficient stamina for a week’s worth of commuting.
The companion smartphone app for Urbanista Seoul is available for iOS and Android devices. The app immediately shows the remaining battery charge and can be used to reconfigure Seoul’s touch controls to suit the user’s preferences, including switching between gaming and music modes. The app also shows the remaining battery charge on board, EQ settings for different music genres and a facility to install any firmware updates....
The sound produced by these cute little earbuds is nothing short of stunning. I have never heard such a big and fulsome sound from such an affordable pair of earbuds before. They are a compelling listen with a sound backed up with a powerful bass, an excellent midrange and a detailed treble. The result is an incredible sound when gaming or watching a movie, plus they can bring music to life with a convincing soundstage.
Axel Grell, the designer of the Seoul earbuds, had this to say about their signature Urbanista sound: “Detail is at the heart of the sound stage for Urbanista Seoul. Detection of small movements and sounds gives the feeling of living through your game, making the difference between winning and losing. With Urbanista Seoul, the crystal clear and transparent sound is designed to ensure your head is in the game.
