Plantronics BackBeat Sense review

 

BackBeat, the word is on the street that Sense headphones are worth a shout

Light and extremely comfortable ; Great design with minimal fuss ; Easy to use ; Decent battery

Sound isn't all-encompassing ; Lack of pure noise cancelling ; Definite headphone 'noise' when walking

The Plantronics BackBeat Sense is a great-looking, lightweight over-ear offering that boasts brilliant Bluetooth connectivity - we just wish the sound was a touch more impressive. Plantronics isn't a big name in headphones but it should be. The...

Plantronics BackBeat Sense review

 

Plantronics have a decades long history in headsets for comms, and the company is now branching out into consumer and leisure listening with its new Bluetooth headset, the Plantronics BackBeat Sense. Is it any good? We put one through its paces to find...

First off, the Plantronics BackBeat Sense is a very fancy dan looking headset with striking circular cups. It looks great, it's light and it's comfortable - in short it's a headset you can wear for hours without any discomfort

It's sadly not all good news though, and the fact these headphones don't feature closed cups means your fellow travellers are every bit as likely to hear your music as you are if you listen to EDM a little too loudly on the train. Still, the leakage...

The Plantronics BackBeat Sense headphones may lack the brand cachet of Beats, but we know which we'd rather be wearing (it's definitely these!) - they're absolutely great value for money.

Plantronics BackBeat SENSE review

 

The BackBeat Sense are among the best wireless on-ear headphones you can find at any price point.

Plantronics didn’t really take a risky approach with the BackBeat Sense, leaning toward neutral with both the design and audio performance. We can’t say these are ideal for any particular genre of music because they aim to treat them all the same. Bass...
