The BackBeat Sense are a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from Bluetooth audio specialist Plantronics. Like so many audio manufacturers in recent years, Plantronics clearly wants a piece of the lucrative headphone market and has already proved with its BackBeat Fit and Pro ranges, that it knows...

Light; comfortable design; Strong battery life; Bright; detailed sound quality

Proximity sensor can activate when around neck; Some optimising issues when listening from PC/Mac

I've struggled to find a pair of good commuting headphones for a while now. Most are too large and bulky, some Bluetooth models require expensive consumable non-rechargeable batteries, and a lot just don't sound very nice to listen to for extended sessions.

Plantronics' BackBeat Sense headphones have a lightweight over-the-head design with soft cushions that can sit on your ears without crushing them. They are Bluetooth headphones that are simple to operate, they sound good, and you can use them with a cord if you find yourself running low on battery.

Comfortable; Good sound; Steady Bluetooth performance

Sensors sometimes unreliable

The BackBeat Sense headphones deliver good quality audio in a lightweight frame. The Backbeat Sense headphones support Bluetooth streaming to two paired devices - but not simultaneously - with a very lightweight design.

One of my best purchases. Almost a year now. Very comfortable. Sound quality is also good. Bass is real and doesn't sound artificial. Has a ton of features. Pairing is easy with any device. Phone, Laptop and tabs. Battery life is also quite good. It really is worth every penny.

I bought these headphones to replace a pair of beats mixr's. The arrived and packaging was a sturdy box with everything inside, charged these up as soon as they arrived and a few hours later I tested them out.

I'm a software developer working in an "open floor plan" environment. To avoid distraction I sometimes throw on headphones and listen to music. I feel like these headphones where made for exactly this purpose. If I get a tap on the shoulder I simply lower the set around my neck and the music pauses.

I've had Gigaset phones before so knew what I would get. Well-made, good sound, reliable.

Design for the win! I spend 8-12 hours a day with headphones on, and a good amount of that time is audio quality control listening or studio monitoring. I needed a very high level of audio quality in an extremely comfortable package, and this absolutely delivers.

Comfort; audio quality; sense features

Nada

Everything works the way it is supposed to. The only thing that is lacking is the call quality.
