I'm David Carr died from cnet.com and this is the Plantronics back feet sense and on your bluetooth headphone it costs $180 it's one of the best on your wireless headphones currently available for the money for starters it's lightweight at 4.9 ounces or 140 grams and very comfortable for an on-air model with the self adjusting headband and memory foam equipped ear pads that are clearly labeled left and right I also like the feature set like the parrot Zeek and Zeek 2.0 the sense has a sensor that knows when you have the headphones on and when you have them off it pauses your music as soon as you take the headphones off your ears and resumes it when you put them back on the headphone uses bluetooth 4.0 and you can simultaneously connect to bluetooth devices and switch back and forth between them as you might expect from a Plantronics product the sense also works as a headset and works well it's equipped with dual microphones so you can hear your voice in the headphones when you're talking you can also press a button on the bottom of the left ear cup and your music pauses and you hear the world outside your headphones through the microphone this might come in handy if you want people to think you're listening to your headphones when in fact you're listening to them in terms of accessories you get a nice canvas carrying case that has two pockets the main one is for storing the headphones while the smaller side pocket serves as home for the included USB charging cable and the headphone cord yes you can use the sense as a wired headphone should the battery die battery life is rated at 18 hours of music playback which isn't as good as what Plantronics larger backbeat pro delivers but it's quite solid for an on-ear bluetooth headphone as for performance the sense comes across as a well-balanced headphone with ample but not fat bass and good clarity and it should work well with a variety of music genres its pleasant fairly natural sounding headphone that plays loud at its highest volume but sounds better when it's restrained to about 75% volume I wouldn't call it Airy but it's reasonably open for honor model and noise isolation is decent with the ear pads sealing out a good amount of ambient noise the $250 Bose Soundlink on ear Bluetooth is a bit warmer more forgiving headphone with a little plumper base at higher volumes the bass is tighter on the plantronics but there isn't quite as much of it so if you're a bass lover it might not quite satisfy you but overall the backbeat sense is a well-designed on your bluetooth headphone it's comfortable to wear has a strong feature set and sound as well as good battery life if you're looking for an on-ear wireless headphone it should be on your shortlist I'm David Carr noise thanks for watching
