Foldable Bluetooth headphones are what the Blitz (UG-GH09) from Urban Gear is designed to be: a full over-ear headset that folds down once you have finished listening. The blue version has a deep navy headband and soft ear cushions, with a pale metallic ring on each ear cup that gives it a clean, simple look.
Sound is tuned for extra bass, and the stereo output keeps music, videos and podcasts separated between the left and right ear. The headphones connect over Bluetooth, but the connection options go further. A TF card slot plays music stored on a memory card, and an aux in slot allows a wired connection to a laptop or any device with an audio socket. These foldable Bluetooth headphones therefore keep working even when Bluetooth is switched off or unavailable.
A built-in mic is included, so calls and online meetings can be handled without picking up the phone. The Blitz runs on a 200mAh battery, and the listed standby time is 100 hours.
The fold is what makes these foldable Bluetooth headphones easy to live with. The headset closes down into a smaller shape for a bag, a desk drawer or a travel pouch, instead of staying bulky when it is not in use. That helps for people who move between a desk, a train and a study table in the same day.
The Blitz comes in three colours: blue, white and black. The blue pair shown in the main image has a dark, understated finish, while the white pair gives a brighter option. Listening, calling and wired playback are all covered in one headset, so these foldable Bluetooth headphones suit work, study and travel without extra accessories.
