On the underside, you get the micro USB port and 3.5mm jack. There is the main power/pairing switch along with a mute button. The right side also houses some buttons and switches. Surrounding that is a high gloss finish Black that is used to cover the built-in notification LEDs. Again this is nice and tactile like the other side. Instead, there is a solitary button used for accepting calls. The right earcup borrows features from the left minus the volume control and buttons. I like that it’s hidden away as it helps keep the exterior that bit cleaner from too much text. Inside there is a nice prominent left and right indicator to help you identify which way around the headphones go. They’re made from a synthetic leather and they feel great. This really compliments the overall design. Onto the earcup padding and that is finished in the dark tan. When using the switch there is some satisfying tactile and audible feedback given off by it that makes it feel and sound well put together. This side also houses the noise cancelling switch which is again plastic but it feels good. The build here is superb and the housing feels solid. The side of the earcup is made from that premium plastic and is heavily textured with a distinct diamondesque shape. Then encompassing that is a Silver metallic accent that is vented and I assume houses the microphones used for the noise cancelling. Surrounding this section is the volume dial, this is plastic and features a dimpled texture to help easily identify it. These feel great as the texture isn’t just purely visual and they’re nicely tactile too. This isn’t purely cosmetic either as here you’ll find the play/pause button as well as the controls to skip tracks. The left side one has a circular patterned brushed metallic finish which is very different but works well with the rest of the aesthetic. Going into more detail the earcups are used to house a lot of integral components. These really do look and feel like the £200 they cost. The overall build is as you’d expect with the use of premium plastics, metal trimmings and quality materials.
They’re finished in a very classy Black with Tan accents, this makes them look very mature and grown up. The Pro 2 are a very nice blend of textures, colours and features that really make them stand out from the crowd without being obnoxious.
The downside to that is it may not fit properly whereas the included one will. Of course, if you want a carry case you could always opt for a third party option. So if you like the headphones and want the carry case it’ll cost you a premium. As far as I can tell the colour and case are the only additions to the SE model. This is also lined with felt and comes in real handy.įirst off I’d like to say that there are two variants of the BackBeat Pro 2, there is the regular variant which I have today and a special edition model which is Grey and has a carry case included. It also has a separate front pocket for the accessories and other small items. This will keep them from getting marked up, but it won’t offer much impact protection. The outer layer is made from a high-quality fabric and the inside is lined with soft felt. Now the carry sleeve, this does make up for that and it’s easily the nicest one I’ve ever seen. Of course, you don’t buy a set of headphones like this for the cables but some more premium ones would have been welcomed. The cables included are not the best or most premium I’ve ever encountered and I was expecting a little bit better considering their price point. The documentation and quick start guide.The BackBeat Pro 2 are what I would consider premium consumer headphones and with them you get. The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 offer all the bells and whistles you may want from a premium set of headphones, but as an overall package do they deliver? In the box
