These wireless headphones blend comfort, convenience, and good looks
@It*s no secret that I love wireless headphones// They are the type of gadget that can make you feel like you*re living in the very near future, pumping tunes into your ear holes without having to be plugged into anything// There are a ton of wireless headphone options available, ranging from the horrible to the pretty great// This week, Plantronics (you may know them best for the oft mocked Bluetooth headsets every business bro had jammed in their ear five or ten years ago) released the BackBeat Sense, a riff on the wireless headphone that adds some useful smarts to an attractive and comfortable design//℗
@The $179//99 BackBeat Sense is on the more expensive end of on ear headphones, but they have some really nice featured such as well padded memory foam ear cups, actual physical buttons to control playback and volume (as opposed to less reliable touch based controls), an audio pass through option to hear the world around you, and the ability to be connected to two different devices at the same time and switch between them// Plantronics says the Bluetooth radio in the Sense is strong enough to stream music up to 100 feet away, and the internal battery lasts up to 18 hours between charges// The headphones are also very lightweight and comfortable, making it easy to wear them for hours at a time//℗
