Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 new headphones that connect to mobile devices via Bluetooth. If the rumors about the lack of connector minijack in the new iPhone is confirmed, and Apple will not add to the headset with your own wireless headphones, it hit the top of my shopping list.
So far it is not known whether the iPhone 7 actually run out minijack connector, but this is unlikely. It is not difficult to imagine that in the future we will headsets connect to the phone via Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector or wirelessly via Bluetooth.
to do this, you do not need anyway to wait for the new iPhone.
Headphones Lightning connector is already available, and sets of connecting via Bluetooth are available for purchase from years. Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 is the next generation of this product. the gadget tested with great pleasure, because at one time I was very satisfied user of Plantronics BackBeat Go 2.
the new model called the Plantronics BackBeat Go 3, which recently came to sales in Poland immediately to my liking. It’s still minimalist headphones intrathecal about a refreshed appearance, which will prove ideal as a headset for chatting and playing audiobooks.
BackBeat Go 3 now allowing you to enjoy playback of audio without the cable sticking out of his pocket.
The set Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 two handsets intrathecal are connected by a short cable, which can lead behind your neck. When you remove the headphones from your ears do not need them hide your bag or backpack. it is true that you must be careful not to lose the set, so I recommend found in the drawer of a small clip of some old headphones and fix it with a cable to the shirt.
Same headphones inserted into the ears are a bit greater than normal wired headphones. They are equipped with rubber bands that provide extra stability. In the previous model, they were removed, but the Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 are an integral part of the structure. Rubber bands inserted directly into the ear, which can be found in a box, are available in three different sizes.
Wielkość headphone is connected with recessed no battery and charging connectors.
The battery is tiny, but assured me the opportunity to average intensive use of headphones for two days. The manufacturer promises about 6.5 hours non-stop audio playback and these promises are covered in reality. Just for a moment, however, hook the handset to the charger or POWERBANK in the optional carrying case. It is enough to charge two handsets.
The case of powerbankiem is not a new idea, but it included an option for Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 is nicer than the previous one. This allows the addition not only to charge the handset, but also check the charge status POWERBANK and headphones while charging at the same time. This is a very useful accessory, but the handset from the case, unfortunately, costing up to 130 zł more.
what do you listen to Plantronics BackBeat Go 3?
Manufacturer admittedly argues that the quality of sound from the headphones connected via Bluetooth does not differ from regular wired headphones, but unfortunately I can not confirm this. You can clearly hear the difference minus compared to the usual pchełek attached to the iPhone, and even costing less than 100 zł ordinary headphones intrathecal play better.
for many people, it will be disqualified Plantronics BackBeat Go 3. Fortunately, I am able to deal with it and translate the convenience of the sound quality – especially the headphones I use primarily for making calls, listening to audio from the clips on YouTube and playback of audiobooks, but BackBeat Go 3 is not unfortunately gadget for music lovers.
Dobra the message is that the handset can work with several devices at the same time.
Headphones Plantronics BackBeat Go 3, as the previous model, can be paired with multiple mobile devices and easily switch between them. The manufacturer even prepared a mobile application, which from a smartphone or tablet can spend headsets command to connect to another device. He furnished it even in the widget visible in the center of notifications and menu … firmware upgrade from the headphones.
Headphones are advertised as mobile enhancement, but you can also connect to your computer. Here, unfortunately, I came across the same problem as the previous generation. Windows does not want to work – in the system of Microsoft’s Bluetooth support is still in the era of bit chipped and most of the handsets cause problems – and Mac always after waking forces to switch the headphones and makes them lose their connection to the phone.
Mam Unfortunately, as with other wireless headphones, a few comments in relation to how to play through Bluetooth iOS.
Although the icon Bluetooth status bar you can see the battery status and the Control Center allows you to easily change audio output, it is not fully resolved, so I would have wished. IOS can choose only one audio output and does not separate notification from the media.
This means that when you connect and you select Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 as the default audio output are played on them as notifications and sounds from the application. You can manually select the speaker and switch on the headphones, but even accidentally pressing a button on the headphones mutes the phone. It’s terribly annoying.
Sytuację rescues the fact that I receive notifications on Watchu Apple, but if Apple wants to release iPhone 7 without minijack connector should know better refine the audio output.
Right now, fortunately, the Bluetooth headset allows for more than just play music. Using a microphone and buttons on the cable connecting two headphones, you can pause and start playback, answer calls, adjust the volume or activate voice assistant – Siri or Google Now.
the application of the manufacturer does not offer too many functions over switching the audio source, but the manufacturer came up with the idea of how to facilitate the use of the set. headphones transmit voice messages, eg. to start the pairing process, turn off the headphones or the estimated time remaining. do not speak to you but in the Polish language.
Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 are advertised as headphones for athletes, but this accessory is not only for them.
The new headphones are resistant to moisture and sweat. With the cover P2i prove themselves during exercise and not scary to them is rain. there is nothing but the way to wear it around your neck all the time. It’s really interesting gadget for people who do not need a crystal-clear sound and deep bass.
On the plus side I include that very well they stick in your ear and do not cause discomfort, even after listening to non-stop. Headphones are available in two color versions. One of them is black cobalt, and I have tested, in turn, a variant called gray copper.
Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 look much more attractive than the black and white sets in the previous generation, there are also a bit more minimalist. Sorry, the gadget has a huge minus, by which I do not run to the store and I order your copy now.
Cena Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 is unfortunately up to 440 zł, a variant of the bag costs 570 zł and is much more than the cost of previous generation handsets.
