Intelligent Headphones from Plantronics

Next time you’re on a flight with an obnoxious neighbor or screaming baby, just slap on some headphones and tune them out. The Plantronics Backbeat PRO is a great tool for relaxing to some tunes while also canceling out any annoying noises around you.

The over-the-ear wireless headphones are comparable to both Beats and Bose and include active noise-canceling technology. It’s a little clunky in size, but works well for long trips on a plane or in the car.

You can operate the volume blindly by sliding a ring on the right ear and switch tracks on the left. When you take the earphones off and hang them around your neck, the BackBeat PRO senses this and automatically turns off the music so you won’t miss a beat. It also automatically resumes when you put them back on. Pretty nifty,r ight?

Android users will enjoy the convenience of having NFC tap-to-pair technology that’ll expand the Bluetooth range to 330 feet.

You don’t just have to use it for music, either. The BackBeat PRO comes with a microphone and works as a headset so you can take important phone calls using it, too. You’ll never have to miss a meeting when you travel overseas.

The BackBeat PRO retails online for $249.99
