In terms of audio quality, these cans fall more in line with the BackBeat Pro 2 SE than the QC35 II or WH-1000XM3. Plantronics BackBeat Go 810 review: Sound quality In addition, I noticed a crackling noise when enabling both ANC modes, but it was nothing that pulled me away from the music. Silencing the jackhammer noise from a nearby construction site proved to be more difficult, however. I was also impressed by how well it blocked out higher frequencies like those from my home theater system. I managed to silence the chatty couple sitting next to me on the train as well as wind flow from the tunnels. High Mode was most useful when I was outside, although the mics picked up a lot of noise. I spent most of my time testing Low Mode, which provided solitude in my house: Cat meows were silenced and nearby conversations receded into the background. The former is recommended for closed settings like offices or when you're surrounded by lots of chatter, whereas the latter performs better in noisy environments like airplanes and trains. There are two modes for noise cancellation: low and high. The BackBeat Go 810 won't match the active noise-cancelling performance of Bose, Sony or even Microsoft's headphones, but the headset's noise cancellation is decent enough to block out nearby rumblings. Plantronics BackBeat Go 810 review: Active noise cancellation Select PLTB BGO810, and you'll be connected.

You just toggle up the Bluetooth button to enter pairing mode, which instantly brings up the headset on the available devices list. Pairing them to a compatible audio source is quick. Sadly, the headset suffers from control issues oftentimes it paused my music on its own - without my touch on the MF button. All buttons have an accurate tactile response - especially the raised ones on the side.

The right ear cup has a Bluetooth/power button, LED light and EQ button that switches between listening modes, plus mutes the mic during calls. At the bottom, you'll see an audio jack and charging port. On the side are volume rockers, which also cycle through the noise-cancellation modes when held down together for 2 seconds. On the left ear cup, you'll find the control panel with three buttons: forward, skip and multifunctional button, which manages calls and playback. Why Plantronics' signature feature wasn't included remains a mystery, especially since Microsoft and Sony are integrating similar functionality into their headsets. There is no touch panel, nor the company's smart sensor technology to autopause music when you're taking off the headset, however. The control scheme is as standard as they come, with all functionality assigned to physical buttons. Plantronics BackBeat Go 810 review: Controls and setup I sported the headphones for 5 to 6 hours daily in relative comfort. Also, the extenders are lengthy enough to support larger heads, though you'll want to set the proper notch level to avoid slippage.

The oval shape of each cup was spacious, housed my ears safely and prevented chafing. The ear pads felt gentle on my ears and the headband gave enough support to keep them stable without adding any extra pressure to my skull. The headset is slim and cozy, and comes with memory foam padding to accommodate all-day comfort. Plantronics BackBeat Go 810 review: Comfort and fitĪt 7 ounces, the BackBeat Go 810 is lighter than the QC35 II (8.2 ounces) and WH-1000XM3 (9 ounces). The latter is the most attractive option and replicates the sleek presence of the QC35 II. What might draw your attention most are the three colors they come in: Black Graphite, Bone White and Navy Blue. The plastic casing is also vulnerable to blemishes such as dirt and scratches, so you'll want to be careful when you're leaving these around.īundled with the headphones are an auxiliary cable, micro-USB cable, mesh travel pouch and Quick Start instruction card.

While the ear cups swivel to the side for convenient placement around the neck, they don't fold inward, making these cans less portable than the QC35 II and WH-1000XM3.
