Urbanears Medis earphones review: Urbanears Medis earphones

 

Urbanears Medis earphones

The Urbanears Medis earphones are affordable and offer a superunique design and a comfortable fit. There's an inline mic and a remote.

The Urbanears Medis earphones offer only mediocre audio quality.

Ingenuity is evident in the design of Urbanears' Medis earphones, but their performance doesn't match up.

Urbanears Medis High-Performance Earbud/Headset (Playback 58)

 

Medis is a district of Stockholm, Sweden, located at exactly N 59º 18' 54.46” by E 018º 04' 20.91”. How do I know this? It's written on the outside of the Urbanears Medis earphone's box. And why is the location of Medis on the box? That's just the way...

Urbanears Medis Headset

 

Earphones - especially multi-function earphones like the Medis from Urbanears are getting to be very popular anymore. As more people migrate away from traditional media players to their wireless phones, they demand not only a good set of earphones, but...

Lots of adapters in the bundle ; Interchangeable pads ; Comfortable ; Sleek integrated microphone and button

Microphone has no "mute" switch for PC application ; No in-line volume control ; Ear-pieces don't fit very well in my ears and allow a lot of bass leakage ; Mediocre audio performance

The Urbanears Medis have a lot promise and their unique design is worth noting and giving a try. Unfortunately, they didn't fit my ears very well and this made the overall audio experience less than satisfying. They were very comfortable, but they...

Urbanears Medis review

 

Firm fit without burrowing

Flat, cluttered sound, lacks detail, peculiar fit in ears means sound lacks punch

They're trying to break the mould with a new type of fit, but these Urbanears just haven't got what it takes

Urbanears Medis Review

 

Urbanears Medis Review With the Urbanears Medis, style and comfort come first. Everything from the packaging, to the earbuds, down to the cloth-like cable shows that this was made to appeal to a younger audience.

UrbanEars Medis Earphones Review (In-Ear Earbud/Headphone Hybrids)

 

Head down to your local electronics store and you will no doubt find the shelves of budget headphones are more densely populated than an ant-hill, so it really does take a special pair to stand out from the crowd. It is an industry in which it is...

Overall an uninspiring pair of earphones, and throughout the review you may have recognised my constant comparisons to budget options such as the Radiopaq Dot earphones, as this is the quality I believe they deliver. However, when you consider the...
