Plantronics, an audio and wearable technology provider, has unveiled the BackBeat 100 Series,
the first hybrid neckband wireless headphones for calls and music in
the BackBeat stereo product family.
With an ultra-light
design for easy all-day wear, BackBeat 100 and BackBeat 105 delivers
full-range sound with solid bass for listening to music and watching
videos on the go. With a built-in microphone, clear, hands-free calls can be conducted at the touch of a button.
"For many people a great pair of headphones is a constant companion,
whether they're at work, school or on the move," said Lori Langona,
Director of consumer marketing at Plantronics. "The BackBeat 100 Series
is designed for high-quality audio and quick access to phone calls when
you need it, with a discreet wearing style that fades into the
background when you don't."
Weighing less than 30g, BackBeat 100 Series has a flexible neckband design that conforms to the

tangled wires a thing of the past.
