This site is the first sun-used street weapon: Plantronics Plantronics BackBeat Sense headset bluetooth headset

origin

Let me talk about motives. 712 has just entered BOSE's AE II. It has a perfect sense of wear and sound quality (mainly listening to folk and female voices, Bose's resolving power, wide sound field, no features, and no noise). But the oversized volume (especially the headphone cable that doesn't mess with the mess) didn't carry the impulse of going out at all. The Monster in-ear Bluetooth headset that served for a year sounded more like 10 dollars. So I began to look for small wireless headphones with a size of less than 1,000 yuan that could be out of the street. Originally wanted to enter the bose ON, accidentally saw the price of less than half of the Plantronics, the shape is still bright show, on impulse. Canada's bestbuy, after the tax of about 600 yuan, was also previously expected to be ruthlessly rejected. Come to a link to JD.


One box and appearance

The box is big, bigger than Bose's. The packaging is delicate and gives a sense of luxury. The headphones on the box are obviously better looking and it is the kind of feeling I want. Unfortunately, the reality is very backbone. PS, Bluetooth support aptx can be seen on the box.

The accessory is a data cable with a charging cable and a headphone cable. After opening the box, it was the carrying case. The appearance of the gray hard canvas and the geometric cut made by the opening made the bag fashionable. Both pockets are velvet lining, but the authenticity of the protection of the headset is certainly not as good as Bose's silly big black.

Look at the appearance again. The combination of white body and brown leather (non-leather) is very lively, and the hollow area covered by the brown mesh on the outer ring of the earmuffs is very design. Most of the material on the head beam and earmuffs are white matte plastic, feel good. It is worthwhile to note that the button part is white rubber, and it is difficult to clean the sticky ash; the part of the trademark is glossy plastic, and the reflection in the picture can be seen, which is slightly cheaper. The keys are also hidden. On the right hand side there is a call key, switch, charging interface, earphone cable interface. On the left hand side is the forward, play, back, mute button (which is the red little button), and the volume is added or subtracted (rotate left and right ear cups back and forth Outer ring).


At the details, the bare metal of the headphone beam is matte-iron grey sandblasting. The texture is very good. I think of my first earphone AKG 402, which is also the feeling of this feel and cold technology. The top leather elastic strap provides a good feeling of wearing. In addition, the adjustment of the length of both sides of the head beam has a scale of 1-10. Once the best position is measured, one-touch adjustment is possible.

To sum up, to be honest, the appearance is somewhat disappointing. It is mainly the silver color that is not the official figure, but the milky white and white. In this way, the house of science and technology can't hold it completely, so let's go back.

Second technical features


The publicity page has been made very large, and the parameters are bullish. Pick a few important experiences.

1. Class 1 Bluetooth 4. Most consumer-grade Bluetooth devices are Class2, only about 10 meters away. Therefore, claiming a wireless connection distance of 100 meters, there is no problem in measuring 30 meters in the open corridor (I think this parameter should be 100 feet, Khan). The partition is no different from other Bluetooth devices.

2. Aptx bonus. When the aptx function is turned on, the dynamics and low frequencies are discernible, but the tuning orientation is not changed. (Now understand why some manufacturers do not bother aptx, there is only quantitative change, no qualitative change)

3. Dual-microphone talk noise reduction. Calling the other party completely out of our background. Can support software call noise reduction, but the official software list only Skype and Cisco conference system. Did not test WeChat support.

4. Mute function. Pressing the red mute button while the headset is in use will pause the audio playback and collect the external sound through the noise reduction microphone. The official claim is to monitor the external situation while crossing the street, but I still get used to taking off the headset directly.

5. 18 hours battery life. Measured to play with aptx 2 hours a day, other time does not shut down, can use 5 days. About 12 hours.

Eggs:

Press and hold the mute button + call button for 6 seconds to turn on/off the automatic pause function.

Press and hold the mute button + music play button for 6 seconds to turn on/off the aptx HD voice function.

Three use feelings

Wear feelings. It's more comfortable to press on the ear headphones. Because the earmuff unit can be rotated 180 degrees, it fits well with the ear. Of course, there is no comfortable bose earmuffs, but it must be sacrificed for its size.

Feeling out of the street. The first is the sound insulation effect. Although there is no active noise reduction, the angle of the earmuffs fits well with the ears, passively blocking some of the high-frequency noise, which is in line with the degree of sound insulation worn by the Bose earmuffs. I must mention

The function of automatic pause, the music that the earmuffs leave the ear will be suspended immediately, and will be played automatically after wearing. This is a function that can't be used when it is used. Sensing is very sensitive and even becomes a disadvantage. When you lift an earmuff slightly, the music is suspended. But still can not afford to turn off this feature, because listening to podcasts is too convenient.

Listening experience. Using the S6 Edge Bluetooth connection (aptx on), listen to "Wild heart", "Stay with me" "Painting." Sound field is open, low volume is enough, resolving power OK. What does not like is the low degree of separation of vocal and musical sounds. They are all on the back. Like listening on a layer of cloth, it may be a common problem. After all, there is indeed a layer of pressure on the ear hole. (Bose is preferred to bose AE II, and the vocal is at the front, the intermediate frequency is fine, and the lyrics are easy to move.)


Four advantages and disadvantages

advantage:

Phone noise reduction invincibility

Automatic pauses

Lifetime First Echelon

Disadvantages:

No sound quality

Stethoscope effect when walking (fixed band on top of head)

Designed for Apple (when connecting with win10 and Android at the same time, the signal switching experience is very bad, of course, this is not the headset's fault)


Conclusion

I haven't been drying for a long time, and I don't have products that I particularly like to recommend to everyone. This headset is still very much like hand (mainly appearance), if your demand is: used to call often / look stylish Bluetooth headset, this is still very competent. If you are pursuing a sense of wearing and listening to vocals, you are advised to add money to Bose AE Bluetooth.
