Urbanista Athens and Paris Are The Newest True Wireless Earbuds To Take for A Spin

Urbanista, the fashionable Swedish audio company, debuted at IFA 2019 two new wireless earbuds to take on Apple’s Airpods and the Galaxy Buds.

As Techradar also notes, the Urbanista Athens and Urbanista Paris target two different needs.

The Urbanista Athens, pictured above, is the more expensive option, retailing for £119 (around $140) and targeted at runners.

With an IP67 water resistance and up to eight hours of playback, Urbanista says the accent is on bass levels, with the audio ” “geared to assist push you thru that additional mile”.

Of course, Google Assistant and Siri are also there to help.

The Urbanista Athens weigh just 5 grams and their case also offers an extra 24 hours of charge.

Travel a bit more and you’re going to land on the Urbanista Paris.

Here, Urbanista promises “strong passive noise-cancelling” and the same compatibility with Siri and Google Assistant.

However, as they’re a bit cheaper at £99 (around $120), the Urbanista Paris do make some sacrifices on the battery front. 

They offer up to five hours of playback and an additional 15 hours if you let them rest in their case.
