Urbanista Los Angeles, the world’s first self-charging, wireless active noise cancelling headphones. #Urbanista #Headphones #Solar

Urbanista, the Swedish lifestyle audio brand, announces the launch of Urbanista Los Angeles, the world’s first self-charging, wireless active noise cancelling headphones, powered by Powerfoyle™ solar cell material. Using advanced green technology, Los Angeles converts all forms of light, outdoor and indoor, into energy to deliver virtually infinite playtime.

Welcome to the Dawn of a New Era

Urbanista Los Angeles brings revolutionary innovation to the headphone market and is designed to live up to the brand’s tagline, ‘Designed for Life in Motion’. For the first time ever, you can experience virtually unlimited listening with solar charging. Los Angeles never stops charging when exposed to light, both outdoors and indoors, providing a nonstop audio experience.

Just an hour spent outside on a sunny day with Urbanista Los Angeles generates three hours of playtime. Cloudy day? For every hour spent outside, you still get two hours of playtime. The headphones even charge in ambient light – wearing them indoors in a well-lit room or office will keep the headphones charging. When you’re not using Los Angeles, simply leave them by the window for an hour to add another full hour of playtime.

Playtime calculations are estimations based on certain lighting, charging and usage conditions and an initially fully charged battery. Estimations for outdoor conditions are based on lux values of at least 30,000 lux, and for indoor conditions on lux values of at least 1,000 lux. Actual conditions and playtime may vary whilst using the product.

To deliver this limitless audio experience, Urbanista has teamed up with Exeger, a Swedish innovation company, that has created a ground-breaking solar cell technology. Exeger’s material, Powerfoyle™, converts any form of light into clean energy and can be seamlessly integrated into any design. For the first time, it is now powering headphones, enabling endless energy to music lovers around the world.

Urbanista CEO Anders Andreen comments: “Urbanista Los Angeles is everything we stand for as a brand, in a product. Bringing together innovation, sustainability and all the features you could wish for in a headphone, Urbanista Los Angeles is designed for someone who lives an on the go lifestyle. We are proud to partner with Exeger, and their cutting edge technology, to bring a world first to market.”

Exeger CEO Giovanni Fili says: “This is the start of a revolution in consumer electronics. In close collaboration with Urbanista, we now launch the world’s first self-powered wireless headphone. I strongly believe that once users experience the freedom of endless energy, there’s no way we’re going back to plugging a USB charger into the wall. We are extremely excited about this product and confident that people around the world are going to love it.”

Take Complete Control of your Audio Experience

With Los Angeles, you are always in complete control of your audio experience. Just the press of a button activates advanced hybrid Active Noise Cancelling, instantly reducing unwanted background noise, or switches on Ambient Sound Mode so you can stay aware of important surrounding sounds.

Los Angeles’ wireless design gives you both freedom and control thanks to the on-ear detection feature that pauses the audio when the headphones are removed and restarts it when they are put back in place. Los Angeles is adjustable for an entirely custom fit. The smooth cushioned shells sit securely over the ear, allowing you to comfortably enjoy unlimited listening.

Inspired by the city in the heart of sunny California, Urbanista Los Angeles will be available in two exclusive colourways, including Midnight Black.

Review – The Urbanista London true wireless with ANC. #UrbanistaLondon #TWS #Tech

The Urbanista London are the latest on offer from the company and out of the gate these are the best implementation of ANC in True Wireless I have seen to date, Harder to do on earbuds than headphones they have got this one right and to top it off sound great too across the board but mainly with ANC turned on which will impede battery life,these laugh at the AIRPODS and cost less and fit like a charm too.

These come with a wireless charging case too which is excellent and again bringing the latest features to true wireless features costing less, We also have USB- C charging on deck too with around 25 hours of battery life with 5 hours per charge but with ANC on you get around 4/4.5 hours which is fine, I suggest leaving ANC on for optimal sound and experience and you of course get an ambient mode too.The charge case also offers a reset/pairing button too.

Controls are simple to use once you spend time on them, you have a small area on top where the urbanista branding is and here is where you need to tap, it is a small area but you will get the idea after some use like many touch based earbuds are today and you will be able to execute the commands in no time. .

The controls are as follows.

PLAY
Tap the logo (1) on the Left (L) earbud twice.
PAUSE – Tap the logo (1) on the Left (L) earbud twice.
VOLUME (+) – Tap the logo (1) on the Right (R) earbud.
VOLUME (-) – Tap the logo (1) on the Left (L) earbud.
ANSWER INCOMING CALL – Touch the logo (1) on the Left (L) or the Right (R) earbud twice.
END A CALL Touch the logo (1) on the Left (L) or the Right (R) earbud twice.
REJECT A CALL- Touch and hold either the logo (1) on the Left (L) or the Right (R) earbud.
SIRI – Touch the logo (1) on the Right (R) earbud twice.
ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING ON/OFF – Touch and hold the logo (1) on the Right (R) earbud for 2 seconds.
AMBIENT VOICE MODE ON/OFF Touch and hold the logo (1) on the Left (L) earbud for 2 seconds.

 

OK so you can see what is missing here, You cant skip or reverse tracks which is kind of annoying however it is not a huge deal for me, there is also no app support,someday Urbanista might develop one, The option not to skip or reverse tracks is an odd one for me left out but hey if you get the fantastic sound these deliver I do not honestly care it is all about sound with earbuds and these out of the box just hit that spot. You cant use these individually either which might be an issue for some.

They are super comfortable and will not budge either,this is another thing to factor in they also are not bulky and rest nicely giving you easy access to control them,When it comes to sound they have hit done it again they sound great,good bass,direction, generally fine across all soundstages and so on,I will put it this way ,put these in turn on ANC and feel immersed in the sound,Ideal for You Tube,Music and Netflix and so on you will be impressed ,trust me I test enough earbuds to know what it good and what it rubbish,these shine mainly with ANC on but take a battery hit.

Battery life is on par with their claims and it is fine, a bit lower than some competitors out there but it is no big deal with the case giving you around 20 hours of playtime so ideal for long commutes and travel, Urbanista have multiple earbuds out now on offer and deliver all the time improving each time and these are their best to date and give other a run for their money full stop costing you €149 euro plus not forgetting our discount code TECHBUZZIE at the link below.

Review – The Urbanista Stockholm Plus. #Tech #Urbanista #TWS

Urbanista is a brand I have been using some years now and have been consistent with their sound and build quality and they are progressing as time goes on when it comes to their products too which is good to see. Their latest instalment the Stockholm Plus are no different but will appeal to a different kind of folk.. Coming from their LONDON which are the best they have to offer now they are slightly toned down on volume and bass this time but overall give a solid performance and look well too and are lightweight and generally give you good value for money. You can check out the unboxing here for more info..

 

 

These come in several colours and with new drivers,chipset and microphones giving you a crisp clear sound with most controls available on the buds bar the volume control which has been left out again however not a huge deal for me. The controls are easy to use although some similar but you will manage no problem after some use these are touch sensitive rather than buttons remember. We go through all the motions in the video review below anyway.. Overall they give a decent sound performance when it comes to instruments, direction,voice and direction and calls are good yet the volume and bass this time is lower compared to their LONDON true wireless which for me is their best earbuds to date.

Urbanista sent us these to review with no compensation,influence or copy approval and are seeing this the same time as you.

Urbanista Collaborates with Kojey Radical on ‘Sound and Silence’ Campaign. #urbanistalife #TWS

Urbanista, the Swedish lifestyle audio brand, releases the campaign ‘Sound and Silence’ created in collaboration with London-based artist, rapper and creative talent, Kojey Radical. ‘Sound and Silence’ celebrates the launch of their latest product; Urbanista London, an active noise cancelling, true wireless earphone.

Image: Kojey Radical wearing Urbanista London

Priced at £129 MSRP, London is available in four stylish colours and boasts full compatibility with iOS, Android and Windows devices.

The campaign film, directed by Gustav Stegfors, tells a story about how we are inspired by the sights and sounds of our urban surroundings, through the leading features of the product. The film reflects how we need the silence of our own space to be creative and express ourselves, while living in busy urban environments.

“We are shaped by the city. In its silence, we find rhythm. In its sounds, we find inspiration. Sound is the most important tool for expression. Silence is where music is created from scratch. When there is sound, there is silence.” The emotive and illustrative words heard on the campaign film, that support and build its storyline, were created and recorded in collaboration with London-born Kojey Radical. The genre defying rapper offers an important, urgent and crucial voice for our musical landscape. The ferocious young artists most recent project ‘Cashmere Tears’ explored an acutely personal journey of topics, and cemented his unapologetic approach to his artistry, vision and output. Kojey, who has previously worked with Adidas, Burberry and Hennessy, explains: “I have been really inspired by this project because I create my work from my life and my experiences. I am often using my city and surroundings as a source of inspiration and the idea of finding my sound during moments of quiet, is something which is close to my heart.” 

Music and sound are a very important parts of our daily lives and with Urbanista London, you can choose to make surrounding sounds disappear, to relax, to breathe and to have full focus on the music that you are listening to with ‘Active Noise Cancelling’ (Silence), or enhance important sounds that you wish you to let in, whilst still being able to hear the audio on the earphones using ‘Ambient Sound Mode’ (Sound).

These two opposing features are cleverly represented by the models in the video, their styling and the film’s surroundings.

Image: Urbanista London ‘Sound and Silence’ campaign

Urbanista aptly named their new product after London as a vibrant city full of contrasting spaces, from the bustling streets to the peaceful parks. The city in itself acts as a place that reflects sound and silence. Tuomas Lonka, Brand and Marketing Director at Urbanista, comments: “We wanted to work with Kojey on the campaign as he represents what London is to us through his individual style, music and creativity. Kojey’s input and contribution to the campaign have been essential in bringing to life the look, feel and soundscape of the Urbanista London campaign film.”

Urbanista London is available in four colours: Midnight Black (Black), Rose Gold (Pink), White Pearl (White) and Dark Sapphire (Blue) and is now available for pre-order at www.urbanista.com/london. Priced at £129 / SEK1499 / EUR149 / USD149 / 269 AUD MSRP.

Urbanista announce the Ubranista London True Wireless with ANC. #TrueWireless #ANC #UrbanistaLife

Urbanista, the Swedish lifestyle audio brand, announces the launch of Urbanista London, an active noise cancelling true wireless earphone, designed to put the listener in control. London is the latest in the brand’s true wireless headphone line-up and lives up to their tagline: ‘Designed for Life in Motion’. Boasting an in-ear style that combines secure fit and crystal clear, isolated sound with comfort, simplicity and reliability, Urbanista London allows listeners to either completely block out the outside world or hear their surroundings without interruption to their listening experience.

Priced at £129 MSRP, London is available in four stylish colours and boasts full compatibility with iOS, Android and Windows devices.

A Sound Experience That You Control

Urbanista London is designed to provide the perfect fit and is comfortable for long periods of wear. Axel Grell, an acoustical engineer who developed the sound design for Urbanista London, comments: “We have worked incredibly hard to perfect and fine tune the sound of Urbanista London. The tiny details make for an earphone with incredible clarity and natural sound reproduction with ground shaking bass and smooth highs. The micro-speakers I have selected are at the acoustical heart of these earphones. Urbanista London boasts a wide frequency range with very low distortion, an important feature especially for an active noise cancelling earphone.”

Whether you feel like blocking out the noise of a busy morning commute or would like to hear what is around you, Urbanista London puts you in control. With the new active noise cancelling (ANC) feature, at the press of a button you are able to completely switch off the outside world. Otherwise, remain conscious of your surroundings while enjoying a strong audio experience with Ambient Sound Mode. This feature enables you to switch to a voice-enhancing mode while listening to your music or podcast, allowing outside sounds in and ensuring you can hear any voices around you, loud and clear.

Urbanista believes earphones should be intelligently designed and complement the user’s lifestyle, which is why Urbanista London earbuds have a built-in ear detection technology that is programmed to pause when the sensors detect that you have taken one bud out of your ear. The music will stop playing completely when both earbuds are removed.

Inspired by the City

Urbanista London is packed with style and creativity and our earphones are inspired by the vibrant and busy city. To express your personal style, London is available at launch in Midnight Black (Black), Rose Gold (Pink), White Pearl (White) and Dark Sapphire (Blue) and comes with a sleek and slim colour-matched charging case. London has an IPX4 waterproof rating and is therefore protected from splashing water at any angle.

Designed for Life in Motion

Staying connected is easy with London: the latest in 5.0 Bluetooth connectivity means London is compatible with your iOS, Windows or Android device and allows you to have your voice assistant available at the touch of a button. Whilst on the go, the built-in noise cancelling dual microphone allows you to make or receive stereo phone calls, adjust the volume, play and stop.

London provides a playtime of 5 hours, and with 4 additional full charges from the case, a total playtime of 25 hours. The indicator lights will let you know when you are out of charge and then you can conveniently charge your earphones in under one hour on any Qi-certified pad or via the USB Type-C cable, straight out of the box.

Anders Andreen, CEO of Urbanista, comments: “London is a truly special product and we are very excited to welcome this model to our true wireless family. The small and ergonomic design provides the perfect fit that looks great and with the active noise cancelling and ambient sound features, London is perfect for life in motion.”
