Urbanars Stadion Review: This is not how to do Bluetooth headphones

I think I have made my opinion on Bluetooth sound accessories now. However, if it is not heard yet, here it is: I do not think about it. The comfort factor is often spoiled through dull sound quality, battery life, or both. To date, I have never thought about any of the husbands that I used to be completely terrible. Unfortunately, today it is the day I should work as because Stadion in Urbanar represents the most frustrating pair of Bluetooth earphones that I have ever had. After using Stadion for several weeks in active and consistent scenarios, I can’t think about another similar product I liked less than this product. Whether it’s appropriate, sound quality, battery life, or total comfort, Stadion failed almost every. I will try to keep this parade outside the area of ​​the thickening, but we will see how things will go. Connect your seat belts, children.

Goodness

Not very good

Design and comfort

When I think of Scandinavian technology companies, my mind immediately goes to Nokia and fractures-both of whom are known for their simple and effective designs with their products. However, in these simplistic aesthetics lies a little loved pieces. Urbanars, from the north, took a similar path with Stadion.

I must admit that this pair of Bluetooth ear headphones does not look like most of the neck range there, due to a small part of the wrapped cables that have a lining that reflects on the night vision. In general, as a simple lover (especially with technology), I love the way Stadion looks like. I received a white unit, which is usually not my first option, especially with something that will be in frequent contact with my skin that smells of sweat. I am digging.

The main piece of the neck tape is made of smooth plastic. Its single color is only broken through blue buttons, red work key, and Urbanars Black. The MicroUSB shipping port is located under the “Interior” flap for the main body. What you mean about the Scandinavian design?

When I saw the cable wrapped for the first time, I thought it was an elegant idea. In theory, it allows the unit itself to maintain a smaller fingerprint with adaptation to different sizes and shapes of the head. I respect the attempt and the idea, but in practice, I was not a fan. The cable itself is not under great tension, yet my most common problem was that the buds themselves were pulled. This is limited to my movement, although the cable has a lot of length to reach my neck. The clouds of buds also affect the sound quality (at least perceived).

I tried both the different cups that came with my review unit to see if I could find a more comfortable attack. I know that my ears are a bit strange and that the earphones are often a problem, but although I expect that I can dump every other voice to some extent when I work – I don’t need to hear the weights that fall or chan a person (both are a common noise in the gym).

Stadion design is visually attractive and it appears to be great in theory, but it ended up to be more annoying. I was looking forward to re -headphones in my bag at the end of a hard exercise, just to deal with it again the next day. Yes, blogger problems technology.

Voice quality and battery life

Generally, I do not care about what a pair of earphones appears to be Bluetooth; I care if the buds themselves are comfortable and good sound quality. Bose QC30 and Jaybird X3 come to mind. As I already discussed, Stadion fails first. But what about the second quality? How does Stadion appear?

In short, this is not great. Having a dynamic sound profile may be difficult in a small thing like a pair of headphones, which I understand and admit. However, at its best moments, Stadion lacks any feeling of this pathological fullness that makes you really enter your music (a major part of weight lifting for me). In its worst cases, Lee Stadion presented a group of salted circles, strong heights, and a global shortage in Al -Jahir. I tried it with different devices and EQ settings, which only helped a little.

Although it might not be objective, it seemed to me that $ 15 wired earphones have led to almost the quality and size of an equal sound. I realize that the tales are not conclusive evidence of anything, but I thought I would throw it there. Just because.

By moving from the popular sound quality, let’s talk about the life of the Stadion battery. It has been announced in about eight hours, and it is not far from other products. Unfortunately, I only approached it once. Most of the time, the battery lasted for five hours in a size of 50-60 %. This means that I was able to get two or three exercises from Stadion, which were very disappointing.

So sound quality and battery life … two other strikes against this unfortunate husband of earphones.

conclusion

I have a love/hate relationship with Bluetooth headphones. Although there are benefits that you must love (wireless), there are many negative aspects that must be dealt with in exchange – it is an annoying example of alternative opportunity costs. For this reason, I pay attention to the small things that can and/or do not bother me (if you know anything about Artem and Maptops, this is a kind of that).

With a slight phrase, I didn’t enjoy my time with Urbanars’. I can excuse the cheap feeling I got from the quality of construction due to the price ($ 99), but the quality of sound and rest was lacking that I couldn’t wait to stop using this ear pair. For an additional $ 30, you can pick up yourself Jaybird X3 and be happier – hell, the best use of Jaybird freedom on Stadion. More than that, save yourself some money and check the suitability of Blantronics backbeat.

The battery life was another major failure in this. I expect to move about a whole week (seven days) of training on charges of my Bluetooth headsets. I have many who do it, especially my old LG LG LG Tuni now of the neck from 2014 (yes, you read this right). Unfortunately, this product cannot absorb this expectation.

So, where do we leave this with regard to urban panels? If you haven’t discovered this yet, I say you must definitely transfer it. If between 30 to 50 dollars is cheaper, my final opinion will be different-I expect that these types of shortcomings will be something on this price. But for $ 100, I think it’s not worth it. Keep your penalties for a little longer and get something happier. Or check some of the cheapest and best sounding basins such as Phiaton BT 100 NC or Samsung U Pro, unless you are really associated with the idea of ​​the neck style (I will not blame you).
