I must say, I had been waiting for the iPhone to support A2DP for a while. When it finally rolled out, I was excited but I didn’t have a set of headphones with which to test it. I just hadn’t made the plunge to buy a set. The promise of having stereo audio from my iPhone, all via a Bluetooth connection was stupendous. I was simply tired of untangling my traditional headphones each and every time I took them out of my pocket. And, the ability to just have no cords whatsoever, was great.
The folks at Altec Lansing‘s PR firm really came to my rescue by sending me a pair of BackBeat 903s which, via Bluetooth, handle both my iPhone’s music playback but also phone calls as well, all packaged in a ruggedly designed headset. Below is a quick video review of the BackBeats after which you can see the rest of my review:
If you are looking for a Bluetooth headset and you have ensured that your phone handles A2DP (which stands for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and AVRCP (to control the playback with your headphones – Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), then you probably should put the BackBeats on the list of headsets to test out. They are relatively light weight, very functional, produce good balanced sound and are reasonably priced.
