Kinivo URBN Premium Bluetooth Wireless Headphones - NFC Pairing, Powerful AptX HD Sound, Wireless Audio Streaming and Hands-Free Calling for Devices Like iPads, iPhones, Android (Midnight Black)

I had a specific idea of the way I wanted to use these headphones, and the experience is falling a bit short. Part of the reason is probably just the limitations of Bluetooth, and the other part is due to the headphones. I have a bit of hearing loss and I wanted to stream the audio from my TV to the headphones and do my "chores" moving from room to room, listening to whatever was on TV while working. Unfortunately, the range of Bluetooth doesn't cover as much as I would like, but that would happen with any headphones. When in the same room, I'm very happy with the sound quality and the overall quality of the unit. The case is nice, and they are stylish.Where the headphones are a bit lacking in my situation, is that they don't fit my head. When I'm up and about, they feel like they are slipping off all the time. I guess the flip side of this is that they have very low clamping pressure so they are comfortable to wear if you're just sitting on the couch. I'm used to aviation headsets (David Clarks) that are vice grips on your head and they kill after an hour. The URBNs don't squeeze your head at (if you have a small head) and they do a great job blocking out the background noise, and have great sound. They'd be perfect for me if they stayed in place on my head. I also wear glasses and its not a problem with these, am I'm streaming with an Mpow BT transmitter from the TV.

Pretty good sound. They aren't designed for any activity at all. They simply fall off. Noise cancellation is passive, just in the soft ear pads. There is no difference when you turn them on as opposed to just putting them on. Had the older Kinivo headset they still sell and the mic pick up or noise cancelling isn't any better than those. Really was hoping. Also NFC works well, pairs readily, but periodically it won't work with calls which is why I'm returning them. Seller works with warranty issues fairly quickly as the first set the left earpiece was squeaky when moved.

Very clear and muted bass and mids, i am not an audiophile and do like very present bass along with associated mids, for the sound was a bit hollow albeit clear. I like the Kinivo bth410 better but not sure if its made anymore.

Review of"Kinivo URBN Premium Bluetooth Wireless Headphones - NFC Pairing, Powerful AptX HD Sound, Wireless Audio Streaming and Hands-Free Calling for devices like iPads, iPhones, Android (Black)".On the same order purchased aHomeSpot Dual Stream Optical Digital Bluetooth AptX transmitterto use with a newly purchased Samsung UHD TV.The new TV did not have built in Bluetooth like my other Samsung TV,so this transmitter seemed a good solution.Review covers both the headset and the transmitter used together.Easy Hook up on the transmitter.Paired quickly. Solid, reliable system.You have to provide your own USB power supplyfor the transmitter, same for the Headphones charging.Headphones come with a cable, but no power supply.my TV has 2 USB jacks and I power from there.Been using it almost daily for two months,every time I power up the headsetit reliably connects in 3 seconds or less.No issues with range or stability.Works anywhere in the room perfectly,can go three rooms away before it starts glitching.Sound quality is very good, ample volume for my needs.Headphones seems to be well constructed,comfortable enough. I have had no issues.BTW you can not use the Headphones when they areconnected for charging, even if the battery is already full.Plugging in to the wired audio connection breaks the Bluetooth connection,and after removing the audio cable,You have to power cycle to re-establish the Bluetooth connection.The Samsung TV TOSLINK optical outputs are fixed level,which makes it independent of the TVs built-in speakers.I just use the headset volume controlsfor the received fixed level Bluetooth audio.Either TV speakers and/or headset can be usedwith independent volume control for each.As for delay, AptX support on both headset and the transmitter seems to work well.Comparing the TV speakers with the headset is very close.So close it is difficult to tell which one is heard first,I think it's the headset.Note, deep down in the Samsung settings is an audio delay slider.It only effects the internal speakers,the TOSLINK audio is not affected by this setting.Default was middle of the slider,moved it to its minimum for the comparison.

I had these headphones for a period of maybe six months, before one of the headphone arms cracked and was left hanging by its wire. However, in the time before they broke, they had good range and good sound for bluetooth headphones.

I recently had to replace my Kinivo BTH220 headphones (that lasted for over five years with hours of daily use) and upgraded to the Urbn and they’re just fantastic. Has the same sound quality and ridiculously long battery life I’ve come to love from Kinivo. I almost never review products (and I am not paid by Kinivo or any other company for reviews) but felt these headphones were good enough to warrant leaving one. Battery lasts for quite a long time, over a week and I often forget to turn them off when done using so potentially longer. Fantastic sound, very comfortable on your head (the padding on the headband portion is a nice touch!) Would definitely recommend purchasing

Toooo plasticky lost it already

I've been using (Kinivo headphones for years...the 240 model has lasted me well and loved them. Have been using the new URBN ones now for a week or so, and they are even better. Sound-wise, to me anyway, they are fantastic. They fit perfectly, even over a stocking-type cap I wear in the winter. Their service department is excellent (I had some minor issues when I first got the 240) and their response time was quick and fair. Everyone is different, of course, but I highly recommend these for wireless/bluetooth use (they also come with a connection to use as wired and a carrying case.)
