About the Sennheiser Urbanite XL
Bold bass with just the right touch
Bold bass with just the right touch
Some days, I'm in the mood for Van Morrison. Other days, I need me some Public Enemy. So I love headphones that can bring the bass with rap and hip hop without muddying other styles of music. That's the strength of the Sennheiser Urbanite XL headphones. They have lots of low-frequency power when you need it, yet the bass never sounds bloated or distorted. These are great headphones if you listen to a wide range of music and aren't afraid of in-your-face bass when your playlist veers toward the low end. The Urbanite XL's overall sound is up-front and bold, so it's great for listening on busy streets or in a crowded coffeehouse. And they're super comfortable, too.
The Urbanite XL's folding design is perfect for stashing them in the included carry bag and taking them with you (shown in Denim)
A great fit for mobile listeners
The "XL" in Urbanite XL refers to the large earcups that fit completely over your ears. This design not only allows for larger drivers capable of delivering more detailed sound, but it also offers a luxuriously comfortable fit. The headband is as flexible as almost any we've ever seen, so it's durable without squeezing your skull into submission. There's another benefit to the glove-like fit of these headphones: they do a great job of blocking out external noise. The closed-back design of the XL earcups offers excellent noise isolation without any electronic noise cancellation. It's another reason why these headphones are a smart choice for on-the-go listening.
Detachable cable with controls for Apple devices
The Urbanite XL headphones feature a flat, tangle-resistant cable that plugs into the left earcup and locks with a simple twist. It's a nice feature to ensure the cable doesn't accidentally get pulled out while you're moving about. The cable features a built-in remote with volume and music/call controls for your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod®. The remote also features a tiny microphone for making calls with your iPhone.

Features
Overview: The Sennheiser Urbanite XL Over-ear headphones are stylish, high-quality headphones. Larger than the Urbanite on-ear headphones, the Urbanite XLs are lightweight and comfortable, with durable stainless steel hinges and aluminum sliders. They're made for people on the go, and can withstand rough treatment from everyday use. When not in use, you can fold your Urbanite XL headphones and store them in the included soft cloth storage pouch.
Design: The Urbanite XL Over-ear headphone has a closed-back, circum-aural (over-ear) design which isolates much of the background noise. The low 18-ohm impedance allow the headphones to play portable devices at high volumes without overdriving the device's tiny amp.
Included Cable: The Urbanite XL Over-ear headphones are equipped with an exchangeable 47" audio cable with a right-angled 3.5mm plug. The cables connect to the left earcup via a 2.5mm sub-mini plug that twist-locks in place to prevent accidental disconnection.
In-line Remote/Mic: The in-line 3-button remote/microphone is made to control your iPod, iPhone, and iPad. The outer buttons control volume up and volume down. The center button controls music playback (play, pause, play next song, play previous song) and phone functions (accept call, end call, reject call, voice control). The microphone has an omni-directional pickup pattern. The remote/mic is compatible with:
- iPod:
- nano: 4th generation and later
- classic: 120 GB, 160 GB
- touch: 2nd generation and later
- iPhone: 3Gs, 4, 4s, 5, 5c, 5s
