Plantronics BackBeat PRO Pro Reviews

Plantronics’ expertise and experience comes to life with the BackBeat PRO, which is one heck of a premium pair of headphones that won’t disappoint on many fronts. Sure, its $249.99 price point will give many people something to think about before making a decision, but at the end of the day, Plantronics has delivered the goods needed to capture our attention – more so when other premium headphones flaunt higher prices.Even though we wouldn’t classify its audio quality as being the best in its class, it has enough juiciness to satisfy our deepest urges when it comes to music listening. On top of that, it’s one features rich thing that’s truly worthy of being a contender in the space. Specifically, its active noise cancellation, NFC, and OpenMic features are enough to entice us over the wealth of options available out there – especially with the latter, mainly because it’s somewhat of a rare sighting. Overall, the BackBeat PRO is a fantastic new member into the Plantronics family.

At AU$349 / £250 / US$250, these are not a cheap pair of headphones. But they are an investment in both comfort and convenience, and if Bose has taught us anything, it's that those are features people are willing to pay for. Sure, they're not perfect, but having the ability to pair to multiple devices simultaneously, without having to panic about battery life constantly is an amazingly enticing proposition. But when it comes down to it, these are some of the most versatile, best performing headphones we've encountered. Given that they are also Plantronics' first foray into the high-end Bluetooth headphone space, it kind of makes us excited to see what the company will do next.
