Altec Lansing BackBeat Bluetooth headset

Altec Lansing's BackBeat Bluetooth headset offers stereo A2DP Bluetooth audio with AVRC control for compatible music players. The right earpiece offers a play/pause button for music control, while the left earpiece includes a call-answering button. A slim, spring-loaded rocker switch can be found on the underside of the right earpiece, which is used for volume control and track skip.

Overall, the construction feels very solid without being too heavy on the ears. All the components that touch the ear use a soft, comfortable rubber.
