Urbanears Medis

Recently I bought a new headset to my phone, as my old pair of A-Jays One+ broke, making one earpiece play at a lower level than the other one. I finally choose the Urbanears Medis, as they weren't the usual ear plug, that always falls out of my left ear. I have been using them for a while now, and in the beginning I wasn't sure that they were any good but after a while I discovered that they were advantageous compared to the One+.

The sound...  Maybe not that great, as they are not the usual in-ear plugs the speakers sit at some (tiny) distance from the ear canal making the bass thinner, but as my main goal was portability I'm pretty much happy if I just can hear the music at all, but overall they don't sound bad. :)

The earpieces use the "EarClick" solution which makes them lock into my ears, and doesn't fall out while moving, which is really great.

Another thing I noticed is that they are not suffering from the horrible cable-noise that all my previous head phones have had, leading up noise through the cable when its moving and touching my body! Now I can have the cable wherever I want (phone in a pocket somewhere) and walk around with just the music in my ears, and not hear the noise every time the cable slams against my clothes.

As they are not plugged into the ear canal, they also let in the sound from the surrounding which I think is good due to security. You should always be aware of your surroundings!


Pros

  • Pretty cheap (399SEK)
  • Very portable
  • No cable noise
  • EarClick solution works
  • Surrounding awareness 


Cons
  • Sound is a bit thin, but works for me

To sum up, for me these headphones are really great! :)
