What customers like about Urbanista Brisbane Plus

  • Exceptional battery life offering up to 60 hours of total playback time.
  • Loud and punchy volume output capable of easily filling a room without distortion.
  • Stable and stutter-free wireless connectivity via Bluetooth 5.3.
  • True Wireless Stereo functionality allowing the seamless pairing of two units.
  • Sleek, minimalist, and timeless Scandinavian physical design.
  • IPX5 water-resistance rating making it adequately splashproof for outdoor use.
  • Convenient pass-through audio that allows listening while charging the device.

What customers don't like about Urbanista Brisbane Plus

  • Lacks dedicated companion mobile application support and an on-board EQ to customize sound profiles.
  • Bass and lower frequencies can occasionally lose depth and overall richness for certain users.
  • Noticeably lower maximum volume output in wired auxiliary mode compared to Bluetooth mode.
  • No modern quick-charge capabilities included for faster battery replenishment.
  • Lacks Bluetooth multipoint connectivity for pairing multiple source devices simultaneously.
  • Soft material finish on the exterior casing easily attracts hair, lint, and dust particles.

Verdict

The Urbanista Brisbane Plus is a portable 2.0-channel Bluetooth 5.3 speaker that delivers a total output power of 16W through dual 8W drivers, a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, dual passive radiators, and an IPX5 splash-proof rating. Its main advantages include an exceptional battery life of up to 60 hours per charge, integrated support for Siri and Google Voice Assistants, modern USB Type-C charging, and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing to link two units together for full surround sound. However, notable drawbacks include a lack of specialized mobile app support, no on-board EQ customization options, a lack of multipoint connectivity, and the inability to use the 3.5mm AUX port when the internal battery is completely drained.
