UrbanearsLuma True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, Ear Buds - Charcoal Black

I have owned urbanears earphones and headphones for the last 8 years, several models and these are by far the worst value for money. The controls simply don’t work when you want to skip songs or change the volume - all that ends up happening is you activate voice control and music stops playing, then you need to fetch your phone out of your pocket to sort it out. Another thing that annoyed the life out of me is the simple fact my hair touching the earphones activates voice control too! They also don’t hold in your ears very well and I was always worried I’d drop them. All in all, a massive letdown and I’m returning them today.

I really like these headphone. The box feels really nice to hold with the little loop. The buds themselves are very light, and just sit on my ear. No pressure or anything, and I can even run with them no problem. Sweat/rain resistant too, IPX4. The setup is easy, pick them up, put them on, pair, and go. It takes about 5s from picking the bud, putting it in and getting sound. The sound is nice and crisp, but as these are open, the bass is not deep and that's expected.Each bud can be used separately, as in you can use just one, either one. Both have mics, and the only difference is the tap controls. Left has previous song, and right has next song. When using the call functionality only one bud acts as mic, usually the first one to pulled out. Mic quality is OK, as you would expect from this type of bud. The range is pretty good, I can walk about 10m from my phone with no interruptions in my apartment. There were no drops while biking or walking about.Charging is good, just drop them in the case and there is magnet that snaps them into place. From my use so far, I got ~4 hours of continues playback. Takes about 10-15min for 50% charge, and about 1h to 100%. The case takes about 1.5h to fully charge over USB-C, which means one charger for almost all devices I have. Only a USB-A to C cable is included. I suppose if you only have an older phone that is micro usb, and no other device that can charge over USB-A, then you will need a charger. The controls are "touch" based, but I think they are using the mic on the side of each bud to detect taps. Initially I found the control hit and miss, but if you tap the mic, and not to fast or to slow, it works consistently.The standout feature, ear detection, is both the strongest and weakest point. Auto playing and pausing when you put them in, or take them off is great. It works 80% of the time. However, sometimes the feature will trigger when I tilt my head, or while I'm biking. All in all these are great, wish there was a way of toggling wear-detection. There is no app.Update: been using these for a while. Besides the ear-detection woes from time to time, their noise cancellation gets confused. During a call the other person will hear an echo of their voice. Not always, but very frustrating when it happens. Besides that the little net on one of them fell out. Not sure where, hopefully not in my ear. I really wish Urbanears would put a little more effort in their products. They always seem to be one or two steps always from greatness.

Been using it now for a while and it just keeps crashing.Some day it works fine, the other day it works terrible.Still haven't figured out what causes it... Batteries full. It is just nonsense.Updates did not do any trick. Can't return it with urban ears, bought via amazon....

Only ever work one at a time. Have tried to contact urbanears and amazon collectively but I have had no joy. Waste of money and no one to rectify issue.

Bought these Black Friday - thought they were great value vs apple. They already don’t work, many times they just won’t connect and when they do often only one ear works. When they do work the sounds quality is good.. apart from wherever anything slightly touches one of them and activates voice control.. very regularly! I should have read the reviews first as all this is mentioned by other customers.

Unfortunately my experience with the Urbanears Luma was horrible and I decided to be a lot more careful when buying from the company again despite having had 3 headphones that are about 3/4 years old and working perfectly, no problems whatsoever, unfortunately this one is really bad quality and really hard to fit in the ear, I would ask for a replacement if they were any good but it's not worth the hasle to get a new one after the last (which was already a replacement to a faulty one) that might not work at all.

These headphones ain’t too bad at all ..Pros - quality and sound are pretty much asGood AirPods and you can turn off sound check to increase volume if you have an iPhoneThe case is quite robust and supports wireless charging plus battery life on both the case and headphones is greatChoice of colours which is a must .. for the love of god I don’t know why Apple haven’t offered this feature yet .. I’m sure by now they must of realised by now not everybody wants to be a clone ...Cons - The ear bud is a little bigger than some pods although holds in place with my particular ear shape and I add silicon ear tips if I’m cyclingThe only other issue I have is handsfree doesn’t seem to be a great experience friends have complained that the sound quality is echoing or just not great ...Besides that a good buy for the price .

One piece doesn't worth
