Sometimes you really don’t want to be hearing what everyone in the office has to say about the latest news or the who said what to whom. Which is why you need a great pair of headphones to help chill out your day; but what if you’re having to take calls all day as well?
The new Backbeat 216 Bass Boost Headphones and Mic are a fab option – especially if you love a good bass beat with your music tracks.
Designed to work with all smartphones, but particularly with the iPhone, these headphones allow you to take calls while still running your music but without having to fumble around to switch off your music tracks or find the answer button.
The Backbeat 216 headphones come with a widget that allows you to take your calls, reject a call, hold a current call and take another incoming call and even switch to a new call after ending your first call.
It takes a little time to get used to how the various buttons on the widget work but once you get it, it’s really easy.
For music lovers, these stereo headphones are the bomb. You get super clean, super loud bass on them without losing any of the mid or high range parts of a track. Since these are a stereo set-up you don’t feel any imbalance in the sound; on top of this you won’t need to have the volume up quite as loud as you’d think to get perfect sound coverage.
The comfortable earbuds fit neatly into your ears ensuring no movement which means these are a great pair of headphones for active users. Run, jump, dance around; the Backbeat 216 earbuds stay put.
All in all, the Plantronics Backbeat 216 Bass Boost Headphones and Mic are a great pair of headphones for the music-loving, smartphone addicted busy person who loves a bit of loud four-to-the-floor bass.
The Plantronics Backbeat 216 Bass Boost Headphones and Mic come in black and white with earbuds in S, M and L. If you’re not a fan of earbuds, the Backbeat 116 version has differently shaped earphones (pictured above) available in blue, green and white, but with the same smartphone and bass functions.
Plantronics Backbeat 216 Bass Boost Headphones and Mic costs $69; the Backbeat 116 version costs $39. Both versions are available from Apple stores like EpiCentre & Macshop, Challenger, Newstead, Sprint-Cass at Changi Airport T2 & T3, Funan DigitalLife Mall stores AAAs Com, Inforcom, PK Computers & South Asia and Sim Lim Square stores AAAs Com, Million Mobile and Million Tech.
