The good: The Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 stereo Bluetooth headphones provide an open, detailed sound, excellent call quality, and a flexible, lightweight fit. The bad: The thick behind-the-neck cable and ear-hugging design may be uncomfortable to some users and the open nature of the earpiece...

At Mobile World Congress, I managed to get my mitts on some stereo Bluetooth headphones from Altec Lansing/Plantronics: the BackBeat 903s. They work via stereo Bluetooth, but if your phone doesn’t have it, fret not - the 906 model comes with a 3.5mm adapter.

I think it all comes down to what you are expecting and your usage pattern on your device. So hear is my commentary: Context: -My listening breakdown is roughly as follows 85% podcasts - 5%...

Read the full review →I paired this with my iPhone 3G and works great. I can listen to my music collection as well as make phone calls. And it does job very well on both sides. Only down side I can see is the battry life is shorter they claim. Other than this I have no complaint. This is one of the best in the market...
Read the full review →Overall these are good headphones. They are comfortable to wear and don't get in the way at all. My biggest problem with them is the battery life. They only last 6-7 hours. This is a problem for me since I use them at work and they can't make it all day without being charged.
Read the full review →I got the 906 and still use the BT dongle with 3 subsequent stereo BT headsets. I got these before anyone else made "sweatproof" headsets. FYI, the motorola s10 and the Rocketfish are also touted as sweatproof. Maybe I have magic sweat but neither tollerated my workouts.
