These headphones display minimalism at its best, aesthetically speaking. Meet Urbanista Seattle on-ear headphones.
Urbanista Seattle Headphones
Coming to you with the simple and sleek style of Scandinavian minimalism are a beautiful pair of on-ear cans. Urbanista’s latest addition to their line of portable audio products named after cities from all over the world (Sao Paulo, Ibiza, San Francisco to name a few) is called Seattle. The wired on-ear cans feature a monochromatic exterior. Adhering to the simplistic scheme, the Urbanista emblem is subtly embossed onto the bolt holding the headband and extender together. Truly a beautiful piece of work. To boot, the ear cushions are stuffed with memory foam for a comfortable fit with solid sound isolation. The coordinating cable, which is 47 inches long, also features an in-line mic and controller. A share plug is also thrown in for you to listen to music with friends – a really great feature I rarely see included in any make of headphones. Oh, and the frame is collapsible, yippee!
Urbanista promises Seattle will deliver crisp sound and impressive bass. The on-ear can reaches a frequency response between 20-20,000 Hertz on an impedance of 26 ohms.
Urbanista Seattle Wired is currently available online in a black-on-black design called Dark Clown. Photographs on the website display a few different colorways (Fluffy Cloud White, Blue Petroleum Blue, and Rose Gold) that will probably be obtainable at a later date.
The headphones are able to be shipped worldwide with the use of forwarders. Seattle can be yours for $67 USD at Urbanista.com.
