Gemtune Urbanfun Hifi Dual-driver In-ear Headphones,Hybrid Balanced Armature Dynamic Earbuds

Shipping 5/5:

After ordering from Ali express, It reached at my place in Germany in 8 days. Fastest so far from China !

Build /accesories / features! 5/5:
It feels /looks much more premium than what we normally get from Amazon at the price I paid for it: 16€
My beoplay h6 headphones stock wire connectors and this earphones 3.5mm jack feels of the same quality. Even though the beoplay's wire isnt the best, the point is the quality of plugs for better or worse is something which is present on higher priced gear. Also, cable feels strong.

The graphics looks cheap on the box but that's something Noone should bother after day 1. The carry case is strong and does the purpose well.

Mic is usable without distortions on the other end. The play pause button works on iOS and Android. With hibymusic on Android double click skips the tracks. There is no volume control.

Sound 5/5
In simple words
1.Neutral /flat than se 215(shure)
2. Wide. On angling it a bit it sounds deep. So I assume some folks with ear canal shape different than mine may find it deep too
3. Bass: present, fast, flat(in my ears they do sound boomy, I tried the middle small sized tip. With mid sized somehow squeezing it sounded boomy! ! ) 4. Treble. I can hear everything. Again flat. Tonally a cymbal sounds like it. But not very loud like real life.
5. Mids : life like. Not like someone is singing from a box. Not sibilant, not clinical, not thin. Just right.

MOD:
Removed the metal grill and foam in the canal, added a longer FOAM eartip (the cheap ANJIRUI from aliexpress,)so that the driver stays further away from the ear canal. This was done to tame down the brightness due to removal of the grill and the acoustic foam inside. Secondly it avoids earwax to enter the earphone.

RESULT:
Neutral to dynamic:
Orginally without removing the grill, the foam tip gave more body to everything, every instruments started sounding full bodied. But the problem there was a decrease in speed since the sound reaches the eardrum after another set of absorption by the foam tip. The grill+foam in the nozzle is originally taming the sound, keeping the speed.

Who is it for:
For those who felt UrbanFun HiFi boring. (who wants it to be more dynamic) its more coloured, but a beautiful colour, I hope someone who are about to throw this out can definitely try it out.

Source used Samsung Galaxy s8, Astell & Kern AK 70, JDS labs c5d, iPhone 5, 5s, SE, iPad Air 2, iPod nano 7th gen.

This is absolutely a hidden gem! On a journey searching for earphones that are providing the highest value, the Urbanfun Hifi absolutely blew my mind away. Finding these earphones is feeling as a reward for my search journey. At some point, you get rewarded, with a beautiful gem, the Urbanfun Hifi. Say Hi to the New King in town. Find out more below about in this Urbanfun Hifi review why these are the New King!

Sound
The sound the Urbanfun Hifi’s are delivering is amazing. They are delivering a ‘studio-monitor’ sound, that provide the most accurate and un-colored representation of sound as possible. The accuracy of the sound you can find back in all the frequency levels in the sound. The bass is really punchy and detailed, providing a very good representation of the intended bass in a song. As other earphones, can be bassy and over-represent the bass, the Urbanfun Hifi is focused on delivering an accurate bass as possible. The part that I love the most about the Urbanfun Hifi’s is the delivering of the mid’s and high’s. The frequency range between the mid’s and the high’s is being delivered on such a high level, it sound’s like all details between these ranges are delivered to accurate, without leaving any sounds on a certain frequency level. It provides instruments and vocals, really detailed and smooth. In vocals you are able to hear the mid’s and high’s at the same time, whereas other earphones may only be producing the mid’s of a vocal. The high’s are of a great level, able to deliver the high’s really crispy, without being sibilance. The mid’s and high’s are one of the best, if it isn’t the best, I heard in earphones.

Build Quality & Design
The overall build quality of the Urbanfun Hifi earphones is good. The earbuds are made of plastic, but are feeling solid. The earphone buds looks more standard, however in combination with the green/black design (which provides them look like Razer earphones), they look stylish to me. The material is the cable kinda feels like a clothing line, it makes it feel really strong. It has a metal pattern in it, which provides in combination with the grey colour, looking them as metal cable. It provides them a nice premium look. The headphone jack is straight, which is a downside, I really prefer the L-shaped headphone jacks, since they are usually more sustainable.

Comfort
The earbuds are sitting really comfortable, thanks to the design and the weight of the earbuds, since you barely feel them sitting in your ears. The cable is feeling smooth, in comparison to many stiff wires, what I really like. When your working out for example, or walk, it’s nicer to have a smooth cable that prevents you from pulling out your earbuds. The sound is also really pleasant for longer listening sessions, in the beginning the clear mid’s and high’s may be a bit harsh, but after you burn-in the earphones well, they sound really comfortable.

Conclusion
We can conclude in this Urbanfun Hifi review, that these earphones are absolutely today’s winners. The accuracy and detailed sounds it’s able to deliver are of outstanding quality. In combination with its low price (about $17), these are the best deal there is out there. It leaves its competition like the Rock Zircon’s and the Tennmak Pro far behind, where it beats them in terms of sounds, on all levels. I’m using these earphones as my main earphones now, and really enjoying the amazing sound quality re-listening songs with these earphones. I can’t get around these earphones, just buy them, it’s the new King.

These have been on the market for over a year, now, and several companies have marketed them at widely divergent prices. Mine are **** iems and are priced for old guys like me and college students. The cash challenged...

These are perhaps the most comfortable iems I've tried in a long, long time. After inserting them in your ears, you may find that you forget about them being there. You can sleep with these babies, or at least I can. My N3 DAP played all night the first time I wore them to bed, as I normally listen to music for awhile and then shut everything off. Next night, I set the timer... Good thing, too.

These are mellow, mellow, mellow! You can listen to them with almost no fatigue issues for hours. The downside to this is the top end is not pronounced. These are tuned for the middle to low end and are very warm sounding. I was listening to Boston's "Foreplay/Long Time," and the wailing guitar solo as the piece transitions to "Long Time" didn't wail all that much. I'm used to to it being shrill enough to make you grind your teeth. The high end is adequate, but you won't be excited by it. It can be enhanced by EQ...

Urbanfun is for the morning train; the lunchtime crowd and the afternoon rush hour. The isolation is amazing. These are definitely iems that will cause you to step into traffic if you don't pay attention and you have them cranked. The mic is decent for the typical things where you would use it.

No one better call me when I wear them to bed, though...
