The neckband might not suit everyone, but we like the good sound and usability of these Altec Lansings

Altec Lansing BackBeat 906 Phone Review

 

Great-sounding calls ; Bluetooth adapter for iPods and MP3 players

Pricey ; Cumbersome to fit, depending on your ear size

If your music player lacks Bluetooth support, the BackBeat 906 includes a handy dongle to provide wire-free listening.

First Looks: Altec Lansing BackBeat 906 Bluetooth Headset

 

If you are looking for a Bluetooth headset that is equally adept at handling voice calls and music, you might want to check out Altec Lansing's latest.

The Altec Lansing BackBeat 906 may not be the prettiest pair of headphones around, but it is a solid all-round performer. Audio performance is decent, while voice quality is amongst the best we've have experienced. At S$199, it can be relatively...

Altec Lansing BackBeat 906 Wireless Headphones

 

Bluetooth headphones that provide good sound quality

Good audio quality, comfortable to wear, Bluetooth adaptor provided for non-Bluetooth enabled devices

Difficult to put on, no FF/Rew function, bass response could have been better, bit expensive

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great!

 

Confortable, it will feel somewhat loose at first but you get used to it. Adator can be connected to anything, at the gym I sometimes connect it to the Tv in the treadmill. Headphone is flexible, and you can fit in your pockets with no problem.

Durability - Some people said that it stopped working because of sweat, so the first thing I did was wear mine to the gym for the past month, and also wear it at work (electrician) where I am always in dusty places. So far it is still working ;...

If I have my Ipod Nano in my pocket with their bluetooth adapter, and I lay over that pocket I kinda lose the signal, but if I am using my iphone, I don't have that problem, so I think that the bluetooth signal coming out of the adaptor is not strong...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

oem phones are better

 

I usually use apple oem headphones to chat while i work. The first time I used the 906's my girlfriend told me she couldn't hear me so never really used them talk other than in an emergency. In fact my apple headphones went through the washing machine...

They are compatible with my iPhone and most others are not. Thy have a good battery life. They fit in a cargo pocket

They are uncomfortable, hard to fit, and awkward to wear. I am told by people I call that i sound like i am under water. The bass boost function makes them crackle. They sometimes they intermittently disconnect and reconnect regardless of distance to...
