Description

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.

Good, light headphones for the athlete

washable pads and headband
sound
weight
dust from the pads could irritate in the long run

My first "on ear" headphones: I was tired of the "in ears" and was looking for a light headphone to play sports with, of course bluetooth because the fumbling with wires and associated wire breaks is very frustrating.

The Hellas stands out because of the plastic, so light, frame and the washable pads/headband. Ordered and as usual super fast delivery from Coolblue for which kudos!

The headphones come folded out of the packaging and included is a handy washing bag for the pads/headband! The headphones are nice and light and quickly charged: about 2 hours and the battery is full. I don't know how long it will last, but the website itself says about 14 hours. We will see.

Connecting to a BT device may be a bit of a puzzle since the manual is not completely clear, but once that is done it connects very quickly with the device (in my case a Philips MP3 player). The player goes in the pocket and I don't have to look at it anymore.

What is striking is the sound: I am not an audiophile but I think the sound is fine, good bass too. (have adjusted the settings on MP3 player). It is an open design, so outside noise can be heard slightly, but not disturbing in my opinion.

What is very nice is the controls on the right earcup: volume up/down and track forward or back or pause works fine. Even recording a conversation seems to be possible, but I don't use that function. What might take some getting used to is that the controls are quite sensitive: a few times I was busy with the towel to get rid of the sweat and that you accidentally tap the shell: bam! next song. It will take some getting used to.

The headphones are also fine and due to the minimal weight you don't really notice them, they sit fairly tight on your head so running shouldn't be a problem. What may irritate is the fabric of the ear cushions: it is a mesh-like material that feels special on the ear, so far had sessions of about 1.5 hours and that is fine, but I can't imagine that everyone likes the material.

Afterwards, fold the ear cups and wash the cushions/headband if necessary and it is ready for the next round of sports.

All in all, a very nice pair of headphones and I can actually recommend them to every athlete.

recommended for jogging/workout

easy to use
decent sound quality
stays in place while jogging
service takes some getting used to

No wires and stays in place while jogging. Not too heavy, not too complex and solid sound.

Great sports headphones for this price

Comfortable while running (nice and light)
Connects quickly and easily via Bluetooth
Control works fine
Over a longer period of time (+1 hour) the headphones are a bit less comfortable

Nice headphones to use while running. The sound quality is OK (not the very best, but of course the price reflects that). The controls on the headphones work fine (there isn't really a booklet, but the controls are fairly intuitive).

Price/quality ratio is okay.
