Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2

Solid performer, solid sound, great build, insane battery life, super noise canceling and just under $200USD yields a must buy.

As an overall package, the Plantronics have a lot to offer. Despite the plastic build, the BackBeat Pro 2 feel well made and are very comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. Combined with the brilliant range of features, ease of use and overall decent audio quality, they're a very good pair of headphones. At £229, they're not too expensive either.

The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 wireless noise-cancelling headphones are a very good pair of headphones, that lasts ages between charges, have good controls, solid active noise cancelling and a sound profile that will please many.

The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 offer excellent battery life, top sound quality and good active noise cancellation for the price. It may not offer the best noise cancellation on the market, but they're undeniably good value for what you get.

Plantronics has made the new BackBeat PRO 2 more attractive to own thanks to reduced size and price of S$319 (the SE version is S$379). Its audio balance may not be the most accurate for audio purists but is easily likable by consumers with bright forward treble and seismic bass. Over-ear cushion comfort and ANC keeps me engaged in the music while the Open Mic lets me gets into a brief conversation without removing the headphones. My favourite feature is the smart sensors that pauses music when I remove the headphones from my ears.

I tested wearing the BackBeat PRO 2 daily while I walked to work and so far I'm loving it. The audio quality is pretty good, it's comfortable to wear, and the noise cancelling helps in shutting down noises so I can be fully immersed in my music or...

For Bluetooth headphones with an active noise cancelling and great sound quality, Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 doesn’t cost a fortune (AU $299 RRP) compared to the other competitors in the market (for example, Bose QC35 costs AU $499 RRP!). However, I will leave the comparisons between Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 vs Bose QC35 on another post.

Solid wireless over-ear headphones that won’t be beaten for value.
