Altec Lansing BackBeat 906 user reviews

Pros I liked the music quality and how light the headset felt.

Cons I used it 3 times and it wouldn't charge or start up again. I returned it and got another one, and the same thing after 1 use it wouldn't start or charge again.

Summary If I hadn't had to return 2 headsets I might have liked the product. It just didn't work for me. It's odd that 2 headsets had defects. Save your money and invest in another brand.

Pros Good sound, not great but okay since it is wireless. Obviously it is wireless which is nice since you don't have to worry about cords.

Cons Hard to put on. Doesn't seal totally so it is not noise cancelling. Only way to get rid of background noise is by turning volume loud which is not good. Only one pair of eartips comes with it and it may or may not fit your ears.

Summary Expensive for the price. I am going to return these. I was expecting them to feel comfortable and to block out noise while studying and on the airplane, but they did not do that, so I am disappointed.

Pros good midrange

Cons highs a little harsh

Summary I've used the Altec 906 with my Blackberry Storm for almost three years and now with my HTC Rezound rather than the Beats that came with the Rezound. I would rather put up with the lack of natural base of the Altec over the hip hop muddy base of the Beats. I can wear the Altecs while driving and still hear car horns or emergency sirens.

Pros Great bass responds when paired with the headphone tips that seal the ear canal. I found a pair and with a little cutting sized it just right.
stays put while joging or working out
charge last a long time

Cons Wearing glasses or shades makes the fit feel weird

Summary Over all I thought this was a great buy for the money. Plantronic (now Altech Lansing) has a reputation for putting out a quality product. I lost the first pair and was so satisfied, Im springing for my secound.
