this is the backbeat pro Plantronics entry into the full-size headphone market is a Bluetooth wireless headphone it also has noise cancelling and it retails for 250 dollars hi I'm David Carr noise and in the past Plantronics has made a lot of in ear headphones for its backbeat line but as I said this is the first full-size headphone and it really is designed for someone who really is working in an office environment Plantronics says it really isn't going after the beats customer this does have many of the same features as the Beats Studio wireless headphone it is pretty good noise cancelling isn't necessarily as good as the bose noise-canceling and the sound quality is also good once a it's quite up to the par of the Beats Studio wireless but it's a good sounding headphone with pretty well balanced sound it is a little bit aggressive does have kind of a little bit heavy bass a little bit push in the trouble but all in all a pretty decent sounding headphone it does have a few extra features of NFC tap to pair technology for phones that support it as well as apt X support that's supposed to make Bluetooth sound a little bit better again that's for phones to support it and there is a wired option you can connect to court to it so if it does run out of batteries on a plane or something you can still listen to it Plantronics says you can get about 24 hours of battery life from these headphones and as far as the controls go they're all built into the headphone ear cups they're well placed and easy to operate by feel you can advance tracks forward and back raise volume and answer and end calls very easily so well designed from that perspective it's also worth mentioning that this is a Bluetooth 4.0 headphone and there is enhanced range for devices that support it so this can go well beyond the 30-foot range of usual Bluetooth devices if your device supports that enhanced bluetooth this is a comfortable headphone not necessarily the lightest headphone but it is designed to be worn in office environments as I said and I did wear it on a cross-country playing trip and the noise cancelling did work well it does get a little steamy in warmer environments but that is the case with all full headphones so there you have it Plantronics entry into the full-size wireless headphone market solid entry it's a $250 product I'm David Carr noise and that's the Plantronics backbeat pro thanks for watching
