Plantronics offers some of the least-expensive noise-cancelling heaphones on the market. But you get what you pay forr.

Inexpensive compared to competing ANC headphones; Long; 24-hour battery life; Long-range connectivity; Can be used wirelessly or plugged into a 3.5mm...

Muddy mid-range caused by overwhelming low end; Track control buttons difficult to landmark; Questionable build quality and design decisions; ANC not...

Plantronics is not a name you'd habitually associate with music headphones and consumer audio; this is a firm better known for its conference-call headsets, call-centre hardware and the like.

Beautiful design; Mind blowing bass; Good ANC capabilities

A little uncomfortable; Might be too bass-heavy for some

Good headphones. Very expensive. ANC could be better but it's reasonable. When answering a call from them, it's really hard to understand anyone if they're outside

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

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

Really good headphones, especially at the sale price.

Awesome bang for the buck in terms of sound quality. Great battery life

Active noise cancelling isn't as good as more expensive competition. When paired with 2 devices; it sometimes pops or interrupts the sound playing from one; even though there is nothing going on with the second device.

We never doubted that Plantronics would deliver a high-quality product at a great price, but were skeptical about whether or not the original BackBeat Pro could be improved enough to warrant a Special Edition.

Bought it a month ago to replace my sons headphones and he loves the sound and how user friendly it was. The battery life is another feature. He rates as the best headphone he has ever owned!

Wanted to buy these for awhile, they finally came on special so I did. Best buy in years. These work like a charm at home or in the gym they are comfy and durable. The noise cancelling is not that great but it is noticeable but it is not as good as my Sony MDR770 noise cancelling was.

The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 wireless noise-cancelling headphones are a very good pair of headphones, that lasts ages between charges, have good controls, solid active noise cancelling and a sound profile that will please many.

very long battery life; comfortable; good noise cancelling; good bass; good controls; good value

sound profile won't suit everyone; don't fold up particularly well for travel; passive noise isolation could be better
