Mixed Feelings. Really want to love this, though.
I've owned this headset for a few days now, and my opinion on the headset has changed overtime. I will be comparing it to the other headsets that I own (I know these are not specifically for music): Razer Megaladon, Sennheiser G4ME Zero, and Sony Gold Wireless Headset.
Out of the box:
In the box, you will get the headsets (obviously), a flat noodle like cable to connect your headset to your phone if you so choose, and a little baggy. Scarce accessories in the box, but not a huge con.
Design/Comfort:
I pulled the headset out of the box and unfolded it. The first thing that happened was the clamp pinching the skin between my forefinger and my thumb. Let me say this: It hurt. It's a metal clamp, so it is solid in design. But, I recommend you make sure you unfold the headset from the ear cuffs, and not like an idiot like myself. If Sennheiser put some sort of stretchable band over the metal hinge or rubber in the inside of the hinge, it would...
Out of probably 500 pairs of headphones i've owned, these are my favorite, by a fairly large margin.
I'm known to my friends as kind of a headphone fetishist. I have been collecting headphones for over 15 years. Probably could have bought a house or two with the amount of money i've spent on headphones. Many a pair from Sennheiser, including models such as the HD595, and the HD650, ultrasone models, tons of bose, beats, all of them, ALL of them.
I have a special need for bluetooth headphones. Let me tell you, A2DP headphones have come so far in the past 5 or so years. They used to be limited to crappy ear buds or just in general junky quality headphones. While beats kind of brought bluetooth headphones into the "premium" space, i still was never happy with any of them.
And then Sennheiser comes out with the Urbanite XL wireless, and i absolutely love them. Why didn't i get the momentum 2 wireless? active notice canceling. I HATE it. it makes my head feel like its being squeezed in a trash compactor. I've tried so many ANC sets, including the QC15, the...
Touch controls need work but otherwise very impressive headset! LOVE IT
The Urbanites first got my attention for their looks and videos demonstrating their durability. Just as I was about to buy the regular version, Sennheiser announced the wireless Urbanites with an option to plug in their in mic cable for wired use. I thought perhaps I found a wireless headphone that would be everything I was looking for.
Feel: The Urbanite XL’s feel very well built, I thought the only metal pieces were on the hinges but was surprised to find that the entire frame with the sliders are as metal well. The underside of the headband is nice and cushiony and I flattened the headband out as I’ve seen in a lot of videos and just like the regular wired editions they are just as durable. My ears fit right into the cups and the pads barely press on my head. They were so comfortable that I wore them for 6 hours the first day and I did not feel any discomfort like I did with other headphones which is why I used ear buds then in ear monitors (Shure SE 215) for...
