sweden-based urban ears $100 stadion is a bit of a different take on a wireless bluetooth sports headphone with a unique coil cable that looks like an old telephone cord for those of you who remember what that is the idea is that instead of having any dangling wires to deal with the coil cable rest snugly on the back of your head with just enough tension to keep the buds securely in your ears the headphone which comes in multiple color options includes a few different size sports pins to lock the bud in place and one should fit your ear overall I was impressed with the design and while it's not for everyone I found the headphones work really well for running and we're comfortable to wear their sweat resistant and come with a nice carrying pouch the sound is decent but not exceptionally good they don't have as much bass detail or overall fullness as boses sound Sport Wireless for example but they're pleasant enough to listen to while you're working out and you can make calls with them too don't expect business class performance but I didn't have any complaints from the people I spoke with battery life is rated at 7 hours of moderate volume levels that's pretty good but not fantastic for this type of headphone like the bows and Plantronics backbeat fit these are semi-open in-ear headphones which means you don't Jam them into your ear canal like you do with noise isolating in your headphones and they do let in some ambient sound that opens I will be a problem for noisy environments but it's a good safety feature for runners and bikers who like to be able to hear traffic around them I'm David Carney for cnet.com and that's a quick look at the urban ears stadion a bluetooth sports headphone with a unique and appealing design that's well worth checking out
