Poly (Plantronics + Polycom) Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 Headphones - Wireless Noise Cancelling - Black Tan, Black and Tan

Let me start by saying I'm not an audiophile, so talking about the peaks and lows are not going to be talked about here. THE GOOD 1. Really good battery life. I use these in an office setting and I use them intermittently. When I got these, I charged them and used them around the house to test them out and then took them to the office. I've had these for going on two weeks and have charged them once. That's probably around 40 hours of use over the two week period and the battery wasn't dead, it was low. 2. PHENOMENAL range. I have other blue tooth headphones, and I can tell you these have an incredible range. Through walls, down the hall, if I were to put a distance on these, I would say they reach at least three times as far as any other headphones I have. 3. Comfortable. I can wear these for hours on end and they don't hurt my head or my ears. I have buds that I paid the same (if not more) amount, and I can't wear them for more than an hour before they start hurting my ears. 4. I can have them connected to my computer AND my phone - this is the reason I bought them 5. Sound. The muffs are comfortable AND they do a decent job of cancelling out the noise. Music from my phone can be turned now to near minimum and it still comes through loud and clear. 6. Oh, and a really cool feature? Pausing your music when you take the headphones off. It's a small feature, but really cool 7. Pass through mic. This does work, and is pretty cool. You can turn that on, have a conversation (or listen in on a conversation) without taking the headphones off. (see item 2 of THE BAD below) THE BAD So, all that praise, what's the bad? Well, that deals mostly with items 4 and 5 above. 1. The connection switching between the computer and phone isn't as seamless as I'd like it. I often work in a terminal which emits beeps when it doesn't like what I'm doing, that interrupts the music from my phone, which is what it's supposed to do, but it doesn't switch back immediately. It almost seems like it needs a time out to switch back. Now, it could be the order that I paired the devices in, and it's not enough of an annoyance that I've investigated it further. 2. These are supposed to be ANC (Active Noise Cancelling}, but I can't seem to tell a difference between when I have the headphones in normal and ANC mode. HOWEVER, the muffs do enough natural noise cancelling that it works for my environment. When I turned on the ANC while my office mate was on the phone I couldn't tell a difference in the noise level of his conversation, but I also couldn't understand what he was saying (but, he was speaking Chinese, so there's that). These may work better in a noisier environment where there's more noise to cancel. THE UGLY or MEH 1. This is probably a driver thing, or my computer just sucks, but, sitting right next to the computer I will get occasional distortion (glitchy digitization if that makes sense) when listening to music. I have not experienced this with my phone, so I believe it's an issue with the computer. 2. When first pairing (for example I started music on my phone and then turned on the headphones) the music is a bit glitchy for a few seconds. I don't consider this abnormal, but it's worth mentioning Overall, I'm very happy with these headphones, I believe they're worth the price and would definitely buy them again.

These are fantastic headphones, very good quality and packed with features that you only see on headphones costing 3x as much. As others have said in reviews, the noise cancelling on these headphones is not very good. But, this is basically its' only flaw. If noise cancellation is your #1 requirement, and you are on a budget, go with the Sennheiser HD 4.50BTNC, which are the same price as these, but they don't have bluetooth multipoint. If money is no object go with the Bose QC35 or Sony WH1000XM2. I read many reviews of every noise cancelling wireless headphone and went with the plantronics for the price, features, reviews, and that they allow 2 devices to connect at the same time. That is crucial to me for work. I can listen to Howard Stern from my sirius satellite radio on bluetooth, then when a phone call comes in, switches over to the phone call simply by tapping the call button on the headphones. Perfect! The only real negative for me is the sub-par noise cancelling, but with music playing and the active noise cancellation on, it blocks out pretty much all noise. For the price I give it 5 stars. No other wireless headphones pack this many features for this price (I paid $139). Pros: Can pair up to 8 devices, 2 at the same time (multipoint) !! 👌 Price!! [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] Sound is fantastic, in my opinion. Plenty of bass, crisp highs, good mids. Pauses music and mutes mic when taking the headset off. Good sound quality when making phone calls The external mic feature is cool for listening in on people who think you cant hear them Comfortable (although a bit heavy) R and L labels on the inside of the earcups - this is very handy Battery life 24 hours! Uses standard 3.5mm cord if you want to plug in the headset. Many other headsets use proprietary cables, which really sucks. Cons: Noise cancellation is sub-par, but combined with music it will block out most sound. Update: Im loving these things the more I use them. I keep them around my neck all day in case a phone call comes in. Sometimes i'll be in a building where cell signal reception is bad. If I place my phone near a certain window I get good signal, then I can be on a phone call and walk around the building up to 400 feet away, with these headphones since they have bluetooth 4.1 Update #2: Still great, on 4/28/18, 4 months after buying them. A bit heavy for wearing 6+hours a day, the ears will need a break, but other than that these puppies are awesome. ───────────▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ────────▄▀▀─────────────▀▀▄ ───────█───────────────────█ ──────█─────────────────────█ ─────█───▄▄▄▄▄▄▄───▄▄▄▄▄▄▄───█... ────█───█████████─█████████───█ ────█──██▀────▀█████▀────▀██──█ ───██████───█▀█─███───█▀█─██████ ───██████───▀▀▀─███───▀▀▀─██████ ────█──▀█▄────▄██─██▄────▄█▀──█ ────█────▀█████▀───▀█████▀────█ ────█───────────────▄▄▄───────█ ────█───────▄▄▄▄██▀▀█▀▀█▄─────█ ────█─────▄██▄█▄▄█▄▄█▄▄██▄────█ ────█─────▀▀█████████████▀────█ ───▐▓▓▌─────────────────────▐▓▓▌ ───▐▐▓▓▌▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▐▓▓▌▌ ───█══▐▓▄▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▄▓▌══█ ──█══▌═▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▌═▐══█ ──█══█═▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▓▓▓▓▓▓▌═█══█ ──█══█═▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▐██▀██▌▓▓▓▓▓▓▌═█══█ ──█══█═▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▀▀▀▀▀▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▌═█══█ ──█══█▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓█══█ ─▄█══█▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▌█══█▄ ─█████▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▌─█████ ─██████▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▌─██████ ──▀█▀█──▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▌───█▀█▀ ─────────▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▌▐▓▓▓▓▓▓▌ ──────────▐▓▓▓▓▌──▐▓▓▓▓▌ ─────────▄████▀────▀████▄ ─────────▀▀▀▀────────▀▀▀▀

Fit and finish is nice. Comfortable check. Decent sounding microphone for phone calls, check. Price, check. 20 plus hour battery life, check. Seriously I get over 30 hours on average. But I dont use noise canceling at all. It's just not my thing, I like to hear care honking at me lol. I'm an audiophile so for sound I'll give these 5 out of 5. But they are bass heavy do you will have to know how to set up your equalizer for what you are listening to. If you adjust your EQ well these cans are good for everything. Jazz, rap, trap, R&b, metal, rock, country, swing, big band, acoustic, accapella, folk, blues. "I listen to music every day for hours, and a wide variety'' these really are great for everything, but I have to adjust my EQ frequently. The soundstage is decent but dont expect these to sound like Beyerdynamic DT990 headphones or Sennheiser HD 598. These aren't 300$ headphones and shouldn't be compared to them at all. To me that's like comparing a V6 with a turbo to a V8 supercharger with noss. Both are great and have their place but they are worlds apart. Plus these have nice features like the active mic button that pauses your music and lets you hear people say stuff like "move or your going to get run over by that forklift" lol also if you just take the headphones off they have a sensor that will pause your music. I take them off and put them down often, purposely not shutting them off because of the long battery life. In a few minutes or half hour I'll have them back on anyhow. Also they breath well, my ears dont sweat at all and I can hardly tell I have them on. They are comfortable and fairly light. Lastly the controls on the headphones work well and seem to ge built solid. Also anyone who had called me while I am out walking with them on says the microphone sounds decent. So all in all for the price, these are probably the best over ear cans out there. That's my honest review.

Its awesome! Been using it multiple times. The materials used are sewn meticulously. The bass makes you feel like you’re in a cinema and my ears fit nicely in the cup. Thanks Plantronics!

Great sound, great battery life and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Brought this after a lot of research and most of the forums rated his very high and not without a reason Pros: Premium look and feel, Excellent features (Open mic, ANC, Misic pauses when you take it off etc), superb music quality. People who compare this with Sony and bose, let me remind you this is 80% as good as sony and bose in terms of sound quality and 70% as good as sony and bose in terms of Noise cancellation at less than 50% of their price. Great comfort to wear for long hours. superb battery life. Great bluetooth range Cons: Just wish that this was foldable. Little bulky to carry when not using. All in all great value for money. Just go for it if you dont want to spend more than double for Sony or Bose

Las almohadillas y diadema son sumamente cómodas, la construccion es buena, se siente solida, a mi me parece que el control de sonido podría fallar en mediano a largo plazo, no habia visto una configuración de este tipo. El sonido tiene mucho predominio de bajos, pero no enturbia el resto de frecuencias, medios calidos y agudos definidos pero menos resueltos con respecto a las demas frecuencias, la app agrega poco valor puesto que no ofrece demasiadas opciones de control y tiene muchos bugs, no permite actualizar via OTA, para actualizar deberas bajar la app en la pc y conectarlos vía USB. Tiene una bolsa para almacenaje y transporte que si bien protege de rasguños o raspones, no ofrece protección contra golpes o caídas, aunque para mi es de las mejores bolsas incluidas en unos audífonos. En cuanto a Codecs SBC y aptX se pueden utilizar. En su relacion calidad-costo es de lo mejor.
