According to the press release, with its new Urbanite headphones, Sennheiser delivers what young, urban mobile music lovers have been craving: detailed, heart-thumping bass in a durable, trend setting design that's built for the long haul.
With two new closed back design models, the on-ear Urbanite and over-ear Urbanite XL, listeners can experience punchy bass as it was 'meant to be' – without sacrificing any of the detailed mid and high frequencies.
By using a design sensibility inspired by millennials, Sennheiser says that Urbanite not only satisfies the most discerning ears with its lush and detailed, low frequency response, but is also rugged and flexible in its construction – with carefully chosen materials like stainless steel hinges, forged aluminum sliders and resilient, textile headband materials.
Giving emphasis on the lower end of the frequency range, the sound signature of the Sennheiser Urbanite represents a slight departure from other headphone models. This is achieved with an ultra-sensitive high quality driver, an effective seal around the ear, and careful tuning by Sennheiser engineers ensuring a smooth and transparent response.
Urbanite's color palette features a range of carefully chosen hues designed to mix and match with millennials' fashion staples – such as sneakers, backpacks, caps and other accessories.
The headband used in the series features another unique design element: textile material that has been “borrowed” from the outdoor furniture industry. This material not only yields increased durability, but is also very difficult to soil. The inside of the headband is lined with a non-sticky silicone substrate that ensures the headphone's weight is evenly distributed on the head.
The quality of materials found in Urbanite make it both attractive and durable, and ready for wherever a listener's journey may lead, the company says. The steel hinges on the bottom of the ear cups enable the Sennheiser Urbanite to be neatly packed away when not in use.
