Listening to a full stereo and answering your cell phone while you are on the go need not be hampered by having to manipulate so many devices and having to contend with some many wire connections. The Plantronics BackBeat 906 eliminates these issues.
With its Bluetooth connectivity, the BackBeat 906 connects to mobile phones and all types of MP3 players including the automobile-mounted kind that are Bluetooth-enabled. If your media player does not have Bluetooth, such as iPod, you only need to plug a Bluetooth adapter into its 3.5 mm jack.
The BackBeat’s dual 14 mm speakers and its bass-boost feature, combined with Altech Lansing sound technology, provide excellent music. When on the cell phone, its dual-mic AudioIQ processes both incoming and outgoing digital signals. This leads to clearer and improved audio levels for both parties.
When sourcing music from media players or taking calls from cell phones that support AVRCP Bluetooth profile, you can exercise full functional control using the BackBeat. It incorporates buttons for play and pause, base boost, volume and track control, and call mute.
If you need to talk to someone in person, or you just need to home in on an outside sound, you do not have to remove your ear buds. Simply push a button to activate the OpenMic technology. With this activated, the microphone picks up outside sound that are relayed to the ear buds.
The contoured ear buds of the BackBeat are made of a flexible material that adapts to your ear’s shape. They weigh only a little over an ounce. They are also adjustable either by telescoping in or out, or swiveling on their anchors. The two ear buds and their anchors are joined by a soft neckband that can be folded for convenient storage. These features make the headphones very comfortable to wear even for extended periods.
