Plantronics BackBeat 903 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Reviewed by Robert Werlinger

Before I reviewed the Plantronics BackBeat 903 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, I honestly didn't believe that you could find headphones that sound good, are comfortable and are somewhat stylish.

The great fidelity in combination with the easy to use controls and comfortable fit make the Plantronics BackBeat 903 a solid buy. While they may not sound as good as wired sets in the same price range, being able to cut the cord, make phone calls and control volume and tracks from the headset make the trade-off in fidelity (which isn�t huge) a worthwhile one.

Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 Bluetooth Headphones

Reviewed by Derek Kessler

Bluetooth headphones have long been criticized, sometimes rightfully so, for their poor audio quality, but the Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 bluetooth headphones stand head and shoulders above the competition. Sporting a flexible design that combines street-style over-the-ear headphones with in-ear buds, the BackBeat 903s are comfortable to boot. If they sound so great and feel darned good, there�s got to be a drawback, right? Well, for all that awesomeness there�s absolutely no sound-isolation that makes the �OpenMic� system a gimmick at best.

Normally a coupling like Altec Lansing and Plantronics would make me cringe over the forced marketing implications. But in this case, the BackBeat 903 bluetooth headphones have proven that fear wrong. The superior audio quality and comfortable fit put these headphones a set ahead of the pact, and there�s nothing new fancy buzzwords can do to catch up. The only thing holding me back from a solid five star rating is the lack of external noise isolation, otherwise the BackBeat 903 bluetooth headphones are great, pure and simple.

An Excellent Choice

User: Randy Thomson, Jan 25, 2012

Pros: Comfortable, once properly adjusted. No dropouts. Good quality sound.
Cons: None

My son recommended the BackBeat 903, and he was spot on. The sound quality is excellent, at least for my old ears. Using it with my Veer, located in my right pocket, I only experienced slight dropouts if I completely covered the phone with my hand. Very convenient when working out. With my TP, it worked well in a different room, about 30 feet away.

Does what it says it does, well!

User: Randy Brooks, Apr 8, 2010

Pros: Loud and Clear sound, comfortable and secure on head, Good Battery life, Easy setup, fast bluetooth sync, highly adjustable
Cons: Requires the charger to do a hard reset, back cord will sometimes hit the users collar causing the earpieces to move and give the feeling that the headphones are slipping off.

Love these! Work better than I thought they would. They are very comfortable and stay secure even during long runs and sweating. I also appreciate the fact that I can still hear everything around me and still have good loud audio quality from the headphones. Half of the time I forget Im not listening to speakers since I can still hear the clacking keys of my computer, and make out clearly the audiobook Im listening to on the headphones.
These are just simply spectacular. Only downsides are that I had them fail to turn on once. They paired with my Pre, but wouldnt adjust volume or play. Took them home, held the power button as I plugged it in and everything was good. You are screwed though if you want to reboot the headphones on the go. Kind of stinks you need the charger to reboot. Also, initially the cord on the back was a little slacky and would hit my collar. Not a huge deal, but the sensation of having the earpieces move because the cord was being bumped, made me feel the headphones where falling off. An adjustable back cord would be nice.
Either way, I say these are worth the money, and a top notch peripheral for the palm pre.

Outstanding

User: Melvin Hackney, Jan 21, 2010

Pros: Great sound, easy controls
Cons: None as of yet, just recieved them in the mail

Just recieved them in the mail today. Pairing was easy and controls took only minutes to learn. Been looking for the right cordless headset, thnk ive found them! Would recommend to anyone.

Clear sound and comfortable

User: scott parsell, Dec 22, 2009

Pros: Excellent device
Cons: None that ive found

Worth the price. Works great!

Should have stuck with Plantronics to begin with

User: Desmond Perrotto, Dec 20, 2009

Pros: fwd/back track, outside noise through the mic, awesome noise cancelling
Cons: Cant really think of a flaw

For several years I had used the Plantronics Pulsar which I loved. Sound was great, and synced up with a dongle to most anything. I had it with my treo and the one thing it lacked was the fwd/back. When I got the Instinct it worked, but the headset was big and bulky compared to what was coming out on the market.

My dream headset would be ear buds, behind the neck, and flexible enough to put in my pocket instead of carrying them around. It needed to have excellent noise cancellation, be able to switch volume, as well as tracks, and have awesome sound.

I tried several of the Motorola with my Palm Pre, and none of them held up. Some of them actually died within several days of taking them to the gym and having sweat drip in there.

The Backbeat is amazing. Durable, and has all the features I want. I should have just stuck with Plantronics.
