Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 wireless headphones are on sale for $65 off
TL;DR: The audiophile-worthy Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 headphones are on sale for $133.98, saving you $65.02.
Travelers and commuters need headphones that are light enough to slip in a bag, but a tiny pair of earbuds aren’t the most responsible choice. (Guess how many people dropped their AirPods in the subway this past year?)
Plantronics is known for top-performing active noise cancellation, proven by the fact that they show up in almost every “best headphones” list. The Backbeat Pro 2 is a comfy, lightweight, public transportation-ready pair, and Amazon has them on sale for $133.98.
Finding quality, affordable is like finding a rare Pokémon, with your options being paying $350 for Bose or Sony or paying $40 for a random brand on Amazon. (And then paying $40 again in a few months because the old pair stopped working.) The Backbeat Pro 2 ice out ambient noise while offering deep bass, bright highs, and immersive sound — all without going over the $200 price point.
Active noise cancellation can easily be a battery sucker, but the Backbeat Pro 2 manage to get you 24 hours on a single charge — so your busiest back-and-forth days will at least be accompanied by your favorite albums. When you need to hear a train announcement or talk to a coworker, smart sensors will pause your music automatically when you remove your headphones.
Regularly $199.99 (and still $199.99 at Plantronic’s website), you can save $65.02 and get them for $133.98 with Prime shipping.
