Smaller and lighter; Good noise cancellation; Slightly improved audio quality; Excellent call quality; Solid battery life
Bass not particularly full; Only special edition gets hard-shell case
If you're in the market for a pair of over-ear headphones, our recommendation is definitely a pair of BackBeat Pros. The sound quality, noise cancellation, comfort, and convenience features are second to none. They're all pretty similar with slight modifications.
Sound incredible; Noise cancellation is lightweight but terrific; Open-listening mode is convenient; Sensors pause and play music when headphones are applied or removed; Fantastic range with Class 1 Bluetooth; 24 Hour battery that seems to last forever; Micro-USB charging; Easy to access controls,...
Very basic audio cable included - no controls/mic built-in; No app; Not collapsable
Better in plenty of ways.
Battery Life; Plenty of controls; Decent sound
A little confusing to use those controls; Design might not be for everyone
The fit is comfortable, even for big-heads like me. (They fit small-heads too.) Bluetooth works as advertised, from pairing to phone calls to keeping a clean connection. The sound is clear and detailed.
The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 SE headphones are a great example of style, functionality and tech done right. For $249, the Pro 2s offer up to 24 hours of battery life, great active noise cancelling technology and excellent sound to boot.
Loud; warm audio; Good active noise cancelling; Intuitive smart controls; Extremely long battery life
Heavy
The Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 are one of a growing sea of over-ear wireless headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC), gunning for the same space as the Bose QuietComfort 35 .
Great value for money; Sound on a par with more expensive sets; Solid battery life
ANC can be hit-and-miss; Don't handle bass as well as competitors
Great ANC headphones without breaking the budget
The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 wireless headphones are $200, deliver 24 hours battery life, great sound and active noise cancelling. Slimmer and more attract
The original Plantronics BackBeat Pro headphones were loved for its variety of features, good sound and good active noise cancellation (ANC). They weren't perfect, but they offered a compelling package for travelers.
Incredible 24 hour battery life; Multi-point Bluetooth; Amiable sound
Bass overwhelming at times; Styling not for everyone
