My iMac for example has a stupid habit of not automatically using a connected Bluetooth headset as a stereo sound device, but that issue is completely gone with the dongle. This kind of versatility allows you to take the BackBeat Pro+ with you and connect it to any computer by just plugging in the adapter without worrying about Bluetooth antennas and finicky connections. The smart sensor just does it for me when I slide them down my neck then put them back on. Plus, since I'm using these at work at my pharmacy, I don't have to worry about pausing and resuming the music each time a customer comes in. I connected the Pro+ to my iMac and my S7 Edge and I didn't face any problem with the music stopping from the iMac when I got a call on my phone. I like having a headset where I don't keep wishing for a missing option. But then again, that was my mistake for not remembering that earcups could push the dangling earrings into my skin.Īnd there's a lot more to enjoy about the BackBeat Pro+, not the least of which is the smorgasbord of features included. My only complaint was when I put the BackBeat Pro+ on while wearing earrings… Searing pain. Sure, the earcups are round and thus shorter than other over-the-ear headsets, but they work fine most times. I'm not dumping my small Sennheiser in-ear earphones anytime soon, but at least I know that over-the-ear headphones can work for me, as opposed to the pressure of on-ear ones. But I'm getting ahead of myself here so let's go back to the beginning of the story.Īs I mentioned at the top of this review, this is the first pair of headphones that I can even tolerate wearing for more than a few minutes, and dare I say I do enjoy that too. That's a big nod of approval for any headset I try. I won't deny that I felt some relief by the time I took it off, but at least I wasn't tempted to rip it as far away as possible from my head in less than 10 minutes. I have listened to more than two hours of music on it, non-stop, without any complaint. Even though the Pro+ weighs 340g to the SENSE's 140g, it is more comfortable for me to wear for longer periods of time because it doesn't exert any physical pressure on my ears. I loved a lot of things about them, but hated the on-ear design, so I kept the brand on my radar until I could get my hands on an over-ear model that should, on paper, be easier for me to manage.Īnd I was right. The Plantronics BackBeat SENSE though, that I reviewed last year, changed my perspective a little. I like small in-ear earphones, the smaller the better, and I hate feeling pressure against my ears or carrying any weight on my head. I am not even accustomed to wearing them for more than an hour and I'm definitely not the kind of person who would go out and seek such a headset.
