Mr. Boombastic?

Resume:
+ Very good, balanced sound
+ Quality workmanship and choice of materials
+ Optional Bluetooth or cable operation
+ Usable as Headset

+/- Low impedance -> optimized for MP3 players and smartphones
+/- One-touch control panel used to, but then quite handy
- / + Relatively large and heavy
- / + On larger ears rather On-Ear Over-Ear place

- Presses for extended wear on the head (for me at least)
- Only thin microfibre bag as a transport container provides very little protection

The Sennheiser wireless headphones Urbanite XL has a relatively low impedance. That is, he optimized for playback of smart phones and MP3 players, to this output devices can play quite loud even without an additional headphone amplifier.

If he leaves as the name "Urbanite" suspect to perform his duties in the inner city life, therefore a clear warning in advance: The achievable volume and closed, the ear enclosing construction, shield ambient noise very effectively from. From traffic or audible warning (honking cars) you get nothing more. Etc. Even with the use of machinery it is better to do without the music enjoyment.

For Urbanite XL itself. Contrary to the "threat" to emphasize the bass excessively, I am pleasantly surprised by the balanced sound. Also jazz and classical sound, even at longer concerts, pleasantly fresh and tangy. The basses have "killed" a solid foundation without fine resolution mids and sparkling highs to. Of course: it is not a high-end headphones. Will and he can not be. For this he is with Bluetooth and built-in microphone, a prima wireless headset. A little better, I like the sound when the smartphone via the supplied cable to the Urbanite XL is connected. What also has the advantage that you can use the FM radio of the phone. The connection cable serves as antenna. If your Urbanite XL initially playing with the cable very quiet and only on the right channel, which has a constructive reason: The plug has to secure a bayonet must be inserted securely. Then it'll work.

The touch control panel on the right ear cup is very practical - if you get used to it. Until that happens, you üben.Die something different functions but must develop not so intuitively.

I have relatively small ears. The are just still enclosed by the cushions. For people with larger ears On-Ear comes of it quickly.

The workmanship and material quality is the asking price reasonable. Who spends the money rightly expect a little more and get it here offered. To point deduction results in the headphones uncomfortable pushes me after prolonged wear. It would also be nice if a reasonable, adequate transport container supplied would include instead of microfiber bag. When packing Sennheiser has given more trouble.
