This came with a universal USB C cable charging allowing the option to swap cables between most newer android phones, The option to use a wireless charger again is another bonus. The supplied charging case will automatically start charging the earphones when placed in the case. In the event of a low battery, a voice prompt is given to advise of 30 minutes of playtime remaining. The earbud’s power is visible on the app and gives 8 hours of playtime, or when plugged in the charging case a prodigious 34 hours of playtime. The “Battery Status Indicator” (1) will pulse during charging and continuously lit when the case is fully charged. • 0-30 % – LED pulses amber • 30-100 % – LED pulses white • 100 % – LED turns solid white.
Conclusion:
The Urbanista Atlanta has numerous positives in terms of features multimode, excellent charging options and battery life, The great features are let down by a measly 1-year warranty from a known brand which should have shown conviction in the quality of their products to give a dazzling warranty. The charging case while bigger than many used before does the job as necessary. The setup to an iPhone or used with a windows laptop worked as expected but had issues and had to reset the earphones to get working on an android dual sim phone. The app had additional features allowing the customised approach of the earphones which was logical & easy to use. The audio Sensitivity and Frequency response is standardised in terms of industry-standard given good quality audio while the microphone for calls did not filter out external sounds as seen on more specialised earphones. Overall this is a set of earphones with a wealth of features and benefits for customised use with a good quality audio experience.
