Distinctive color and splashproof coating enhance the company’s new, critically-acclaimed
BackBeat SENSE wireless headphones; available now on Amazon
Santa Cruz, Calif. – October 21, 2015 – In its first months on the market, Plantronics BackBeat SENSE has been widely praised by reviewers and customers alike, and today Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) has released BackBeat SENSE SE, a special edition model available now on Amazon and through other online outlets. BackBeat SENSE SE amps up the style in an exclusive grey/tan color scheme, and lets you take your music anywhere, worry-free, with a splashproof nano-coating technology by P2i. The SE model features the same lightweight build, best-in-class Bluetooth® battery life, intuitive sensors, and signature Plantronics audio that has been earning the original BackBeat SENSE critical acclaim around the world.
“People want 24/7 access to their media, no matter where they are, or what they’re doing—rain or shine,” said Lori Langona, Director of Consumer Marketing, Plantronics. “BackBeat SENSE SE is the perfect on-the-go music companion, combining an outstanding listening experience with practical, splashproof technology for all-day, worry-free listening.”
BackBeat SENSE SE features:
- Splashproof nano-coating technology by P2i protects your headphones from unpredictable weather, and the occasional accidental spill.
- Fresh approach to design ensures all-day comfort with a patent-pending headband designed to fit 99% of head sizes, and which distributes the weight of the headphones evenly to reduce pressure.
- Incredibly lightweight, BackBeat SENSE SE weighs less than five ounces, approximately 50% lighter than most on-ear Bluetooth headphones1. So light that you might forget you’re wearing them.
- Signature Plantronics audio and dynamic drivers create the optimal balance of rich bass, crisp highs, and natural mid-tones to let you fully enjoy your music, and hear every detail in your media.
- Advanced Class 1 Bluetooth lets you control up to two connected smartphones or tablets from up to 330 feet away2—the length of a football field.
- Dual mics enable HD Voice communication for clear calls, or interactions with voice applications such as Siri, Google Now, Cortana and Skype.
- OpenMic technology for those times when you’ll occasionally need to hear the outside world. With OpenMic, you can do so with the touch of a button, and without missing a beat.
- Fold-flat earcups makes BackBeat SENSE SE easy to transport and store, and a durable pouch is included with a handy pocket for charging and audio cables.
