About this deal

Some may actually prefer the loose fit. The popularity of Apple’s AirPods show that people aren’t too concerned about hearing what’s around them and their music at the same time. While the seal isn’t always the strongest, the Boo Tip never felt like they would fall out, whether as a result of vigorous head shakes or running up the steps to try to catch a train – they always remained in place. So they’re loose, but music still sounds good – even though bass is slightly impacted.

Battery life with the case is 30 hours, 4.5 hours per earphone. In the few weeks I’ve used the buds, I haven’t needed to charge the case often. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I did. There’s no mention of fast or wireless charging, but the latter seems unlikely. Like other Zound Industries’ wireless earphones, the Boo Tip limit charge to 80% to prolong the use of the buds. The point is that you have lots of options. All of these models are wireless and come with Bluetooth and microphones. There are plenty of colors to choose from too. But as good as they sound, this barely matters with the amount of dropouts we experienced with these headphones. When we did our initial listen in a hotel room these were less apparent, but step into an area with more interference and the drop-outs are regular. Now that you have seen some of the brand’s products and how they compare with a competitor, this Urbanears headphones review would like to show you what their customers really think.

Crossing one particularly busy street we found that the headphones seemed to be cutting out more than they were actually playing the music. Similar to Urbanears, all of Treblab’s earphones, except for the N8’s, are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0. The brand also has more water-resistant options, which is appreciated depending on where you live. PCMag writer Tim Gideon writes in his 2020 Urbanears Luma Review that the headphones have a stylish and sophisticated look, which is offered in a variety of colorways. He also enjoyed how the earphones are water-resistant, adding that the mic provided lots of clarity.

At 3.95g per bud, you can wear the Boo Tip for a while without experiencing any discomfort; but there’s something about the way they fit that doesn’t gel for me.There’s good dynamism, both in the broad sense and at a smaller scale in how the earphones describe the difference between quiet and louder moments, whether it’s dealing with a voice such as Anette Askvik’s in Liberty or the orchestral instruments in the Theme from Ant-Man. There’s a naturalism in the way they conduct themselves, with a nice sense of energy and flow that isn’t over-egged. It makes for a smooth, engaging listen across a range of genres.
