In Berlin I went to visit the friends of Urbanista, a leading company in the headphone audio market.
Urbanista was born in 2010 in Stockholm, Sweden, today its products are available in over 90 countries and are sold in over 30,000 stores around the world.
At IFA ’22 in Berlin, the Stockholm-based brand launched the new Phoenix, true wireless intraural headphones that recharge in the presence of light thanks to the solar panel on the body.
It is not the first time that Urbanista presents self-charging headphones. A few months earlier, the Swedish company had launched Los Angeles on the market. The latter are equipped with a solar panel positioned on the upper part of the headband. The panel allows the headphones to be recharged continuously, even during use.

Among the various products on display, however, my attention was drawn to Seoul. The fact that they were headphones for mobile gaming and video streaming intrigued me and I asked for a pair.
I have used them and I must say that they are a really good product, but what is it about?
