The Urbanista Miami keep on playing ’till the break of dawn (and then some)

We're not going to Miami, but Miami is coming to us

Active noise cancelling headphones can be ludicrously expensive – see Apple’s AirPods Max – so it’s good to see Urbanista going the other way and offering its noise blocking Miami cans for an affordable price (£129). Offering up to 50 hours non-stop playtime and 40 hours with Active Noise Cancelling they’re good enough for a flight to New Zealand with power to spare (chance would be a fine thing), plus an ambient sound mode to filter in important outside noise without completely ruining that all important Phil Collins drum solo – even if cabin crew might be a little perturbed by your flailing arms during the safety briefing. Packing Bluetooth 5.0, aux, airline and USB-C connections they seem like a sound investment.

About

You’ll find me covering every area of consumer electronics and technology alongside new and inventive ways to campaign for the return of the MiniDisc. A borderline audiophile, I DJ digitally to a mildly acceptable standard at weekends and tend to surround myself with smart home tech at all other times. In short, I’m hackable and likely to be wearing headphones and distracted while it’s happening.

Areas of expertise

Consumer electronics, audio kit, smart home devices and fondly remembered forms of removable media
