Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2

The active noise cancellation is designed to block out consistent background noise, like the hum of an airplane engine or office chatter. It creates a quiet listening environment, though it may not completely silence sudden, sharp sounds.

Yes, the built-in sensors detect when you take the headphones off and automatically pause your audio. When you put them back on, playback resumes exactly where you left off.

Absolutely. The headphones feature an on-demand listening mode that allows you to amplify ambient sound, so you can have a quick conversation or hear announcements without removing the headset.

The 100-meter range is achievable in open spaces with a clear line of sight to your device. In a home or office with walls and obstacles, the effective range will be shorter, but it still offers significantly more freedom of movement than standard Bluetooth headphones.

Designed with memory foam earcups and an over-ear fit, these are built for extended wear. Most users find them comfortable for several hours at a time, though individual preference for clamping force can vary.

You can expect up to 24 hours of continuous listening time on a full charge. This is generally sufficient for long travel days or a full week of commuting without needing to plug in.
