Nowadays, almost everybody will have a mp3 player, iPod, iPhone or a smartphone with them. For some music enthusiasts will put tons of music on to their mobile devices. Other than the music dock that you have at home, you will always want to listen when you are on the run. Meanwhile, Bluetooth headsets are getting mor popular because of they are so convenience and without any tangled wire. I believe a Bluetooth headset combined with a stereo headphone output will be convenience for everybody.  Yes, most of the Bluetooth headsets are now equipped with A2DP which enable the stereo connection. But who would like to listen to music with only one ear. Plantronics introduced a bluetooth headphone, the BackBeat 903.  It combines a stereo headphone feature along with a regular phone capability.

Appearance and Design

The Plantronics BackBeat 903 is a very well built headphone. The over the ear design helps you wearing securely. With the special designed ear tips, it helps deliver the music into your ear while wearing it comfortably. The weight of the BackBeat 903 is very minimal. You will not feel any weight on your ears.  The only draw back I am having is the length of the wire connecting the left and right headphone. It just fit me well, however, some big guys may not feel too comfortable with it.  The playback/talk time for the BackBeat 903 is 7 hours along with 8 days standby.

Connectivity and Control

As we discussed, the BackBeat 903 is a Bluetooth stereo headphone.  It connects to your smartphone in 2 modes, the music mode and the headset mode. Typical Bluetooth connection range is about 10 meters or 3 feet.  On the left side of the headphone, you can find the Phone answer button, power button and the microUSB port for charging.  On the right side, you can find the play/pause button along with a multifunction jog dial which controls the volume as well as the rewind/skip function. ** the volume control is a standalone volume control which is not linked to the bluetooth volume control on the smartphone.  Very simply control which needs minimal instruction.

Sound quality (as stereo headphone)

As a stereo headphone, the sound quality is awesome. It gives out a better bass than those iPhone/iPod OEM headphones. With the special designed tips the earbud, it gives a very interesting 3D sound effect.  It is using a patented technology by Altec Lansing with a 14mm speakers on both sides.

Sound quality (as headset)

As a regular Bluetooth headset, you will need to take some time to get use to. It is because you will hear the other party on both of your ear.  It sounds like the other person is around you everywhere.  For the microphone, Plantronics used AudioIQ dual microphone technology for the noise canceling function.   However, it is not getting what I am expected.   With my testing, the other party will have a slight problem on hearing me in a crowd area. At same time, you may confuse on where the microphone is actually located because there is no boom mic design.  (the mic is on the left speaker) I tried to direct my voice to the microphone with my hand, but it turns out I can hear my own voice through the speakers.

Pricing and availability

The MSRP for this BackBeat 903 is $99.99, but you can find it around $69 over the internet.

Conclusion

This BackBeat 903 is a stunning headphone with the sound quality and design. It is the best Bluetooth stereo headphone/headset on the market. With the market price, you will not be able to get anything close.  However, if you are looking for some kind of extreme sound quality, a better wired headphones are highly recommended.

As we’ve been waiting, the Droid 2 is finally release. If you own a Droid, the Droid 2 is going to be your next upgrade. First, the OEM cradles like the desktop cradle and the car holder are compatible for both Droid and Droid 2. Second, the built quality for Droid 2 is as solid as the Droid.  I think some of you may think the same thing as me that Droid X’s built quality is a little too filmsy.  Third, it comes with Android 2.2 Froyo!!  Now, there are only Nexus One, EVO 4G and Droid 2 which have the Froyo.

Do you have an old Android phone laying around after upgrading to a newer Android phone?  Are you stucked on the activation screen after restoring the phone?  Here is the trick.  At the first screen where you see the big green Android, press the four corners in the sequence of “top left”, “Top right”, “Bottom right” and “Bottom left”.  This will actually bring you to a backup utility screen.  You can skip this and you will see the home screen.  All functions will work just fine.  This had been tested on Droid, Droid X and Droid 2.

BlackBerry has just announced their new smartphone, the new Torch 9800.  This 9800 is the first slider phone from BlackBerry.  The lucky carrier that is going to carry this Torch is AT&T.  This Torch 9800 equiped with a touch screen (multi-touch enabled) and a sliding QWERTY keyboard, very similar to the 9700 keyboard.  The chrome design around the phone actually made the phone more elegant.  On the OS, this Torch is equiped with BlackBerry 6 which BlackBerry is claiming this BlackBerry 6 has the best and most innovative web browser.   AT&T will be the first carrier that carries this Torch 9800.  From some internet posting, this will be the last shot for BlackBerry to get back into the smartphone industry.  All the noises are positive so far.  But I think the weakest point for BlackBerry is the App feature.  Actually, this is the same App issue killing Windows Mobile.  Nowadays, all users are looking for free apps or more apps for their device.
