Urbanears is surprisingly shy about sharing many technical specifications for the Urbanears Luma with only vague information about its 13mm driver gleaned from elsewhere. (Image credit: TechRadar) Audio performance For that, you'll need to open the charging case. Don't expect any indication of battery life on the outside of the case though. The case is small enough to toss into your bag or your pocket. It has a small fabric handle that's useful to grip onto to avoid the slippery nature of the case itself.
The Urbanears Luma come with a flip-top charging case that's the same color as the earbuds. The Luma earbuds also feature wear-detect sensors that automatically detect when you take an earbud out, saving you the hassle of pausing a track manually. Annoyingly, there's no volume control here, though there is voice assistant support. They're a little fiddly and oversensitive at first, and while we found ourselves getting used to them after a while, the lack of tactile feedback is disappointing. These are used to control music playback, as well as accept or reject phone calls. The Urbanears logo is embossed on the sides of each earbud, but it’s not obtrusive or overly noticeable.Įach earbud also has touch-sensitive controls. While they're nothing to boast about in terms of the materials used, they look good yet unassuming in your ears. They're made purely of moulded plastic with no ear tips to adjust or swap out, which may be an issue for some ears, but should be fine for most users. The Urbanears Luma earbuds look pretty nice. It's early days for these new earbuds, but we'd expect to see some price reductions for the black and white variants further down the line, with quirkier colors keeping their RRP for longer. There's a choice of four colors for the Urbanears Luma: Charcoal Black, Ultra Violet, Dusty White, and Teal Green. They're generally cheaper than most other true wireless earbuds out there, although they do lack active noise cancellation, unlike others in their class. The Urbanears Luma were released on August 1, and are available to buy for $99.99 / £79.99 / AU$180, making them a considerably cheaper alternative to the Apple AirPods.

Overall, while the Urbanears Luma don't offer noise cancellation features like the Apple AirPods Pro, and they don't feature a ton of extra features, they're still immensely appealing. The soundstage is welcoming and warm, although the mids are a little weak when taking in classical music and more orchestral pieces. Bass-heavy music is what sounds best with these wireless earbuds, but mostly everything sounds fairly crisp and appealing.
