Urbanista Lisbon

The mint green Urbanista Lisbon gives me some funny memories from the late 80s, when the colour had its heyday, and it brings a smile to my face. The case, which seems a bit plasticy, is small and snug, and hides two small earbuds. If I thought the Noc NS 1100 Air were big and …

Sony WH-CH510

Sony not only makes insanely beautiful luxury headphones like the MDR-Z1R, but also the best noise-canceling headphones, and very good mid-range headphones like the Sony WH-H800.
