Platronics BackBeat Pro 2 review: Sound quality When it does get close to losing all of its power, there's a built-in low battery status alert. We listened to between six to eight hours of music per day, took part in a couple of Skype conference calls, and didn't come close to even using half of the battery. Plantronics promises up to 24 hours of listening time, and up to six months in its DeepSleep standby mode. Not that the battery is likely to run out too quickly.

Overall, while the plastic looks and feels a little cheap and the faux wood pattern on the outside of the cups is puzzling, these headphones otherwise feel sturdy.

The right cup has the Bluetooth pairing slider, which is also the power switch. The left earcup features the slider switch for activating and de-activating the active noise-cancellation and the ambient noise passthrough microphones. There are other buttons and ports dotted around each of the cans. Although it's completely smooth, the skip track ring is easy to find by touch thanks to the play/pause button being slightly recessed, and the heavily textured design of the volume ring. In-between the play/pause button and volume ring, there's another ring with skip back/forwards buttons on it.

There's a textured ring around the left earcup, which you turn to adjust the volume and a physical clicky button in the middle for playing and pausing. While some other companies opt for a completely flush surface on the outside of the cans for volume adjustment and playback control, the Plantronics have a much more intuitive system. Still, once adjusted, the BackBeat Pro 2 feels very comfortable and light when worn. This not only allows you to store the headphones neatly inside their included soft bag or canvas-covered hard case, but also enables a good degree of adjustment to fit your head better.Īs for the adjustable headband, it clicks loudly into place - just to remind you that it's not quite a high-end, premium product. The earcups are fixed onto the headband with a 90-degree rotating joint.
