Silence the outside world or let the sound in with Urbanista’s new active noise cancelling earphones

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/06/2020 -- Urbanista, the Swedish lifestyle audio brand, announces the launch of Urbanista London, an active noise cancelling true wireless earphone, designed to put the listener in control. London is the latest in the brand's true wireless headphone line-up and lives up to their tagline: "Designed for Life in Motion." Boasting an in-ear style that combines secure fit and crystal clear, isolated sound with comfort, simplicity, and reliability, Urbanista London allows listeners to either completely block out the outside world or hear their surroundings without interruption to their listening experience.

Priced at $149 MSRP, London is available in four stylish colors and boasts full compatibility with iOS, Android and Windows devices.

A Sound Experience Under Your Control
Urbanista London is designed to provide the perfect fit and is comfortable for long periods of wear. Sound design for Urbanista London was developed by industry-leading acoustical engineer Axel Grell. "We have worked incredibly hard to perfect and fine-tune the sound of Urbanista London. The tiny details make for an earphone with incredible clarity and natural sound reproduction with ground-shaking bass and smooth highs," said Grell. "The micro-speakers I have selected are at the acoustical heart of these earphones. Urbanista London boasts a wide frequency range with very low distortion, an important feature especially for an active noise cancelling earphone."

Whether you feel like blocking out the noise of a busy morning commute or would like to hear what is around you, Urbanista London puts the listener in control. With the new active noise cancelling (ANC) feature, at the press of a button, users are able to completely switch off the outside world. Listeners can otherwise remain conscious of their surroundings while enjoying a strong audio experience with Ambient Sound Mode. This feature enables listeners to switch to a voice-enhancing mode while listening to music or podcasts, allowing outside sounds in and ensuring the ability to hear any surrounding voices, loud and clear.

Urbanista believes earphones should be intelligently designed and complement the user's lifestyle. This is why Urbanista London earbuds have a built-in ear detection technology that is programmed to pause when the sensors detect that one bud has been removed from the listener's ear. The music will stop playing completely when both earbuds are removed.

Inspired by the City
Urbanista London is packed with style and creativity, and its earphones are inspired by the vibrant and busy city. So that listeners can express their personal style, London is available at launch in Midnight Black (black), Rose Gold (pink), White Pearl (white), and Dark Sapphire (blue), and comes with a sleek and slim color-matched charging case. London has an IPX4 waterproof rating and is therefore protected from splashing water from any angle.

Designed for Life in Motion
Staying connected is easy with London. The latest in 5.0 Bluetooth connectivity means London is compatible with iOS, Windows or Android devices and allows users to have a voice assistant available at the touch of a button. While on the go, the built-in noise cancelling dual microphone allows users to make or receive stereo phone calls, adjust the volume, play, and stop.

London provides a playtime of five hours, and with four additional full charges from its case, for a total playtime of 25 hours. The indicator lights let users know when they are out of charge. Users can conveniently charge the earphones in less than one hour on any Qi-certified pad or via the USB Type-C cable, straight out of the box.

Anders Andreen, CEO of Urbanista, comments: "London is a truly special product and we are very excited to welcome this model to our true wireless family. The small and ergonomic design provides the perfect fit that looks great, and with the active noise cancelling and ambient sound features, London is perfect for life in motion."

Swedish audio brand reveals 70% overall revenue growth and 108% US growth in 2019, facilitating successful global expansion, and significant product launches with more than half a million "true wireless" headphone sales

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/27/2020 -- Urbanista, the Swedish lifestyle audio brand, revealed today that 2019 was a record year for the company. Last year, Urbanista's revenues grew 70% over those of 2018, bolstered by more than 500,000 sales of its true wireless headphones, and online sales with annual growth in excess of 1,000%. The company experienced 108% growth in the US from 2018 to 2019. Last year, the company established relationships with some key US retailers such as Sprint, Target, InMotion, and Urban Outfitters. Urbanista has been selling product in the US since 2010 and is now launching a growth strategy similar to its model in Europe.

Urbanista's Scandinavian design and quality audio engineering inspired by urban life resonate strongly with an ever-growing audience that values the freedom of a mobile lifestyle. As such, the company's true wireless* headphones - named Stockholm, Paris, and Athens - have all proven popular with consumers and made Urbanista a strong presence in this growing category*. Since the product launched in May 2019, Urbanista has sold approximately 2,000 Stockholm units per day, while Paris and Athens (both first available in late 2019) have also been in high demand.

2019 was a period of global expansion for Urbanista, primarily in Germany, UK and the US, as well as through e-commerce channels including Urbanista's own online store. In addition to the company's revenues growing 70% year-on-year from 2018 to 2019, Urbanista is proud to reveal that its total revenues have increased 1,000% during the past five years, from $2.2M USD in 2014 to $25.8M USD in 2019, representing growth of 1,072%.

"We are proud to be able to maintain good organic growth year after year," said Anders Andreen, CEO of Urbanista. "We will continue to develop in everything we do and are excited for the years to come."

Urbanista has also grown in headcount at its Stockholm headquarters. In February, Tuomas Lonka was appointed Brand & Marketing Director - a newly-created role for this growing business. The perfect match for Urbanista's next phase and promising growth trajectory, Tuomas has gained extensive experience in growth companies such as Happy Socks and Rovio (Angry Birds), as well as larger organisations like Telia and Nokia.

Tuomas confirmed, "I'm thrilled about joining the team at Urbanista. Our brand has been growing across all our key markets and we have many new and exciting projects coming in 2020 and beyond."

*Counterpoint Research expects the true wireless headphone market to grow by 80% CAGR for 2019-2022.
