Review on BackBeat PRO 5100 - Top-Notch True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Enhanced SEO by Nik Dingaling

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent product, up to expensive

Plus well-assembled case and earphone , Each of the earphones can be used independently. Excellent call quality. Solid battery life. small case. Comfortable fit with stable tips that go nowhere. Cons: Around $100 considering the sound, features etc could do with a little more high end. These true wireless headphones have a lot to offer and are versatile for a wide range of purposes. Cases. I want to start with the quality of the connection. This year I tested about 20 different true wireless headphones including Jabra Elite65T, Sennheiser Momentum, Tranya B530, PSB M4U TW1 and many more. There are 5 models that stand out for their call quality: mpow T5, lypertek Tevi, jabra Elite 65T Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless and Backbeat Pro 5100. call every earbud. This means that the clear audio you often hear when calling other customers of your particular carrier is also compatible with these headphones. This allows you and your group to hear each other with great clarity, in contrast to the muffled tone that is prevalent when making calls with many headsets. Yes, some of these work really well, but I haven't found a set that outperforms the Backbeat Pro at the moment. Even when I left my phone in the room and then walked around corners with concrete walls and was about 50 feet from the phone, callers could hear me with no problem and there was no interruption on my part. Then I turned on a vacuum to see how much of that noise was coming in during a call. Callers said they could hear him when I was standing next to him, but the audio was so muffled they didn't try to understand my part of the conversation. The app can be used with these headphones and has several different preset sound signatures to choose from. In the end, I prefer the default settings for these headphones as the other settings weren't significantly different. Abundant, quality bass is set by default. It could have been thicker, but satisfying and not tiring. The mids are subdued but fairly balanced. The music is by no means clear, but it's not dull or cloudy. There's a kind of balance. It is neither exact nor neutral, but mostly proportional. An exception are the upper mids and highs. To be honest, if they were presented in conjunction with the other features I mentioned earlier, I might have considered keeping them. But for the price, while the sound quality isn't bad, it's not $169. And without throwing Plantronics under the bus here, the Jabra Elite 65T sells for around $150, and despite the EQ options, it doesn't sound on par with the Backbeat Pro 5100. I didn't get a chance to test the 75T still for comparison, but since Jabra still sells the 65T, worth mentioning. The kidneys are at a higher product level in terms of battery life. Depending on the volume and using both headphones at the same time, results may vary, but Plantronics' 6.5-hour quotes reflect my experience. The case contains 2 more charges. Yes, some suitcases hold more, but this suitcase is small and very compact. Not to mention that the case stays closed and only opens when you press a button on the front. The case is charged via micro-USB and immediately goes into deep sleep mode. After charging the case, before pulling out the headphones, press the button for 3-5 seconds. The case and earbuds are well built and the lugs snap in and are so secure I can't think of any activity. Otherwise they will fall off during use. The earbuds come with 3 sizes of eartips, the default size is the medium size. I have the best fit with the smallest tips. Good thing these tips are safe as they appear to be copyrighted. But they are good quality and I believe they can be purchased from Plantronics if needed. All in all, this is a great headset. If it was $99 or even $129 I would seriously consider keeping it to myself. However, if portability and great call quality are top priorities and music is secondary, then this is probably your best bet. And the sound quality isn't far behind at all, it can only be adjusted a little to match the cost of the headphones.
