Backbeat = Bang on.........
As usual a super fast delivery from mobilefun with excellent communications and hustle free checkout.... keep up the good work mobilefun. The headphones are exactly as they are described lightweight, comfortable, durable, brilliant sound quality, and have some fantastic features which work perfectly as long as you have a proper phone (e.g. Nokia), and not an overpriced toy with a compatibility issue list longer than your arm (trust me, I know, I’ve been there). One thing you may consider is, downloading the user guide from Plantronics web site as the one in the box is basic, just a start up guide and the track skip is push forward or back and hold, not push in and forward or back, took me a little time to master that one too. All in all a fantastic bit of kit and would recommend it to anyone with a compatible phone.

Far out!
I've been looking for a set of Bluetooth headphones for some time now, and I eventually went for these. They were ordered on the Sunday and delivered on the Tuesday. After an initial charge, I was able to pair them with my Blackberry Curve 8900 with no problems. They're a bit of a fankle, (Scots word), to put on, but once fitted they are very comfortable and unobtrusive.
All the phone and play functions work well, with the exception of the 'Track Forward/Back', which involves pushing in the 'Volume' slider and moving it to skip - maybe I'm too heavy handed. I'll try it with the headphones off and see if I can crack it. Having said that, it's just as easy to skip on the phone.
I have a wide range of music loaded onto my phone - Allan Holdsworth, Bjork, Charles Mingus, Daft Punk, Frank Zappa, Luther Vandross, Martin Taylor, Scritti Politti, Rush and Yes to name a few, and they all sound fine - no lack of bass response and very crisp.
Having looked at the other two reviews, I felt like I was taking a leap in the dark, but I'm very impressed. I've gone for four stars due to the 'Skip' issue I mentioned, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker. An excellent pair of headphones at a great price.

Description
The BackBeat headphones include Plantronics Dual-Mic AudioIQ technology to separate voice from noise for audio clarity during calls. Similar to its performance in Plantronics’ award-winning lineup of Bluetooth headsets, the inclusion of dual-microphones enables BackBeat to accurately isolate voice signals: one microphone captures voice as the second microphone identifies background noise and removes it. AudioIQ, Plantronics’ proprietary digital signal processing algorithm, intelligently senses the caller’s surroundings to further improve background noise and automatically adjusts the sound for the best possible two-way audio quality.
The headphones integrate Bluetooth v2.1 with EDR and support profiles including Hands-Free, Headset, A2DP and AVRC for wireless call and music control capability. Talk/music playback time is rated up to 7 hours and standby time is up to 8 days. Headset weight is approximately 34 grams.
