XSTIG: Urbanear



 Here in XSTIG, technology plays a vital part for what we love to do in our daily lives and we can agree that it is music that keeps us inspired in everyday of existence. Finding gadgets for quality sound is easy but when trying out a perfect pair of earphones or headphones is actually a challenge  since it also goes trough our meticulous auditory system which one of the most sensitive of the senses. Now the question to all is how do we define a great headset/earphones?




You would like to consider a great find I encountered from Digital Walker ,URBANEARS ear pieces which has 4 variants perfect to any lifestyle. it comes in 14 colors annually with the exception of black and white. I tried the BAGIS orange which can also be a great accessory with its snap construction so I don't have to roll it away when I'm not using it. Its noise reduction is very effective but have to take caution when walking or crossing the street. It comes with plugs that perfectly fits your earlobes and does not irritate it even after some time unlike the others. The built-in microphone can also used with my cellphone (nokia C3) although  if you would like to listen to music or radio  you need to plug the neutral stereo plug. The experience with quality and functionality makes the URBANEARS Bagis a win for me.


Now to get to know about Urbanears, here is are some details:


Urbanears makes headphones that fit your everyday life. With a legacy in design and functionality, They supply the perfect listening device for anyone with a pocket full of music and a wish to make the most of it. Launched in December 2009, Urbanears is a global brand that has strong sales worldwide.

What makes Urbanears stand out from other headphone manufacturers is the important role of color in each of our collections. Each headphone features a monochromatic look and matte finish along with alternative materials. All Urbanears products are made to play with any music-playing device utilizing a 3.5mm standard socket*. Also included is the functionality of a microphone and remote, as the majority of all portable music players are also cell phones.

Urbanears has been featured in numerous articles in publications such as Vogue (U.S.) and Elle (U.S). We recently won “People’s Choice” for this year’s Stora Designpriset in Sweden, and have won design awards such as IFA in Germany, and have created exclusive headphones for Wired Magazine.

MEDIS 
Medis is an unprecedented experience in ergonomics and functionality. The patented EarClick solution secures the earpiece at two separate points rather than one, relieving pressure to a nearly non-existent level while keeping it firmly in place. Additionally, the Medis rests a small distance from your ear canal and therefore doesn’t affect your balance. Naturally the Medis features a dynamic sound and the sleek and minimal design that is synonymous with Urbanears.

THE EARCLICK CONSTRUCTION

EarClick Construction is a patent that ingeniously secures the earphone into position in your ear. The EarClick Construction makes use of the bottom of the ear, much like the standard construction, and adds an upward hook securing the earpiece. The Medis comes with four four separate, silicone size pads. Try out for a perfect fit.
