A few years back I took a set of Urbanear headphones for a run. They were soft, comfortable for long-term wear and had some great sound. Last year they didn’t come out of the gates with anything “new”, but did offer up a number of various design options. At least, that is my recollection. This year they are coming to the CES party with a new “Active” line of headphones and earbuds.
First up are the HELLAS. Those are the traditional over the ear style headphones. They sport Bluetooth 4.0, a mic and on ear touch interface. Battery life is being touted at 14 hours of solid listening before a recharge is mandatory. Material wise Urbanears tossed on a washable headband and ear-cushions and some mesh and reflective details to keep you noticed on your jogs.
The REIMERS are going to be the hard-wired in-ear earbuds that utilize Urbanears
Both lines come in matching color sets allowing you to personalize your active listening lifestyle. You have the Rush (coral/gray), Black Belt (black/grey), Trail (blue/green) and Team (white/blue). The HELLAS are up for order from Urbanears.com for $119 while the wired REIMERS are rocking out for $50.
