Homegrown brand Urban has just added three new members to its Vibe series. They’ve launched three wireless TWS Earbuds: Urban Vibe Clip, Urban Vibe Loop, and Urban Vibe 2.

Here’s what I think about it and whether it’s worth buying. Let’s dive in.

Design
The moment you get your hands on the Urban Vibe Clip, you’ll notice its impressive build quality. The case itself is a blend of sturdy construction and decent-looking design. On the front, you’ll find the stylish Urban branding, accompanied by a handy light indicator at the bottom. On the back of the case, you’ll find a Type-C connector that ensures fast and efficient charging. The indicator light on the case blinks blue slowly during charging, stays steady blue when the earphones are charging, and turns off when fully charged. However, the case is bulky, and some may not like it.
Open the case, and you’re greeted by the left and right TWS. They’re a striking combination of matte and glass finishes, giving off a premium vibe. If I talk about the design, it’s truly unique, living up to its name “Vibe Clip.” These earbuds clip onto your ears provide a secure fit. They won’t fall out, no matter what you’re doing – be it running, jumping, or just walking around.
The open-ear design comprises two parts: the barrel housing the electronics and the speaker driver unit, connected by a flexible rubber joint. Placing the barrel at the back of your ear and wrapping the rubber part around the side ensures a comfortable fit.
Overall, the Urban Vibe Clip combines aesthetics with functionality. This offers a design that not only looks good but also ensures comfort and secure wearability for all-day use.

Connectivity & Sound Quality
When it comes to connectivity, the Urban Vibe Clip doesn’t disappoint. It features the latest Bluetooth 5.4V, ensuring a stable and quick connection with your devices. I connected it with my iPhone and didn’t encounter any trouble at all. The earbuds come equipped with 13mm drivers and I must say that the sound quality was impressive. One of the standout features is Urban’s Air Beam technology, which takes connectivity to the next level.
Additionally, the earbuds offer Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), making them perfect for walks in the park or any noisy environment. I wore the earbuds in a crowded place like a packed metro and in a quiet room, and the audio quality remained consistently top-notch. The inclusion of four microphones along with ENC ensures that your voice is always heard clearly during calls, regardless of the noise level around you.
For gamers, there’s a low-latency mode that provides Panoramic 3D Sound, enhancing your gaming experience. The Smart AI sound amplifier and advanced microphone ensure crystal clear audio during calls and other uses.
Touch sensors on the earbuds allow you to play, pause, and skip tracks effortlessly. The earbuds also support voice assistants, making it easy to control your music and get information on the go.
Overall, I found the Urban Vibe Clip to be a decent and good choice. It offers a range of features that cater to both casual listeners and gamers alike.
Pairing Process
To pair with your device, open the charging case and remove the earphones. They power on automatically. Enable Bluetooth on your device, find the pairing name, and connect. Once paired, they will reconnect automatically for future use.
Powering on/off, pairing, answering calls, rejecting calls, controlling music playback, and accessing voice assistants are all in-built with the Urban Vibe Clip. Game mode and music mode switching is available by pressing the MFB button, and voice assistant activation is simple with a 2-second press.
Long-Lasting Battery Life
One of the most impressive aspects of the Urban Vibe Clip is its battery life. The company claims up to 50 hours of playback time with the power case, and it nearly lived up to the claims. On a single charge, you can enjoy up to 2-3 days of usage even with heavy usage. This means you can go for days without needing to recharge. This makes these earbuds perfect for long trips or busy days when you don’t have time to constantly charge your devices.

Giznext’s Final Verdict
The Urban Vibe Clip Open Ear Wireless TWS offer a unique design, decent build quality, and a host of smart features that make them a top choice for anyone looking for high-quality earbuds. However, the regular price of the Urban Vibe Clip is quite high at Rs. 7,999, which might be too expensive for some potential buyers. While it is currently available at an introductory offer price of Rs. 1,999 on its official website, this offer is for a limited time. Once the offer ends, it may not be feasible for everyone to spend such a substantial amount on these earbuds. Nonetheless, for those who can take advantage of the introductory price, the Urban Vibe Clip provides a great blend of aesthetics and functionality.
