Sennheiser HD 650

Urbanista Miami Crystal
The Urbanista Miami Crystal are wireless over-ear headphones that blend a stylish design with a solid feature set, including active noise cancellation and an impressive 40-hour battery life that holds up even with ANC enabled. They deliver a bass-forward sound profile that suits casual listening, though the noise cancellation is merely adequate rather than stellar, and the midrange and treble could use more detail. Overall, they offer good value for budget-conscious shoppers prioritizing looks and endurance over audiophile-grade audio.
- Pro:Excellent 40-hour battery life with ANC on
- Pro:Stylish and comfortable design
- Pro:Strong bass response for energetic sound
- Con:Noise cancellation is average, not class-leading
- Con:Mids and treble lack detail and clarity
- Con:Limited to SBC codec and no multipoint connectivity
