Sennheiser launches the Urbanite headphones

The Urbanite Series offers two models, one with an on-ear design (supra-aural) and the XL over-ear (circumaural) version. Despite this design that could interest many mixing engineers, Sennheiser warns you: these headphones are not for studio, for they deliver massive bass.

Both headphone models are made of stain steel and aluminum, with soft cloth ear pads for your delicate ears and you can fold it for easy transport. The single-side detachable cable includes a 3-button remote control and a microphone so you can use it with your smartphone and tablet (Apple iOS, Samsung Galaxy, LG, HTC, Sony…).
