According to our headphones expert
Stream your music wirelessly via Bluetooth from your smartphone or tablet.
The integrated battery provides up to 14 hours of speaking and listening.
Control your music with the buttons on the ear cup.
An audio cable to listen to music over a wired connection isn't included.
The Urbanears Hellas are wireless headphones to use while exercising. Stream your music via Bluetooth from your smartphone or tablet, so cables won't get in the way. The integrated battery lasts up to 14 hours, so why not turn your run into a marathon? The ear cup has touch buttons which allow you to control the music and take calls. Via the integrated microphone, you can make hands-free calls. When you're done exercising, collapse the headphones into a compact package. At home, you can remove the headband and ear cushions from the headphones and put them in the washing machine.
Normally I never bother to write a review. Today, for once in my life, I make an exception.
Received these Urbanears Hellas today (on Sunday, thank you Coolblue!). I'm an avid athlete, but a while ago I made the horribly wrong choice to buy wired earplugs. In the winter, with a cardigan on while running, that was still doable, but at this time of year that is really no longer doable. It is also not possible in the weight room in the gym. Those wires were constantly in my way and of course I couldn't get rid of that phone anywhere. That had to be different.
I spent hours and hours reading reviews. I've been hesitating between earplugs about an on-ear headphone for a while. 9 out of 10 earplugs fall out of my ears or almost slip out. And; such a bouncing band on your neck didn't seem like anything to me either. And I don't like (too much) ambient noise either. Urbanears Hellas it is!
And really: I am in love with these Urbanears Hellas! Received, charged, connected to my samsung phone and off to the gym! To be fair: I had a little too little patience, so the connection did not work in the first place. I had to figure out exactly where the controls were and how it worked. If you've figured this out, there's no kidding! Plus, when I turned on my phone, it immediately linked without me having to press a single button.
And as a child I was so happy! I literally skipped (almost) through the gym. My urbanears just stayed put. Run? No problem! Bluetooth connection? Fine! I was able to get through half the gym without any problems to find (and clean up) my weights. Sound? Fantastic! (Note: I am not an audiophile). The sound sounded slightly different to my ears than earplugs which, in my case, are completely pressed into your ears. I like to be closed off from my environment as much as possible and that works fine with these Hellas. If you really have to (and you focus on this) and your music is not very loud, you will hear some ambient noises. (A car honking while running, for example). Music sounds sharp, clear, beautiful.
The controls work fine. The only moment when I experienced this as somewhat hypersensitive, was while I was hanging upside down from an abdominal muscle machine. I then accidentally paused my music. ow; and even when I hung upside down, the urbanears stayed put! In a single review I read that these headphones could pinch a bit after a while. After more than 1.5/2 hours of exercise I had no problems at all.
Personally, I also think the urbanears Hellas are cool in appearance. No fuss; and a little industrial or something. I love! Coincidentally, someone was walking around in the gym with a beats solo 2 (with wires). A super nice thing (I think), but in the gym it also just looks plastic.
This really is the headphone for athletes; I can't say otherwise. As an example; I run fast and so train in the weight room. Swimming with these Hellas will not go ;-) What a freedom and therefore joy. No more wires, and once you put this Hellas on and you won't understand why you ever sported with earplugs/headphones with wires. From now on we are inseparable!

very nice to play sports with, fits well, no mess with wires and good quality. Very sensitive if you accidentally touch the headphones, then music will stop or it will go to another song. still very satisfied

It is perfect for sports. It is washable and cordless, making it exactly what I was looking for.
