          Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 Review

          The Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 improves upon some of the things we didn't like about the previous versions, but it's still not the best out there.

          Don't want to pay big bucks for a 'premium' wireless noise-canceling headphone? The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 may be your best bet.
