Good deal – The Plantronics BackBeat Go 810 Black “4 stars” nomadic headset at €99.98 (-24%)

The BackBeat Go 810 is Plantronics’ third wireless active noise canceling headset and sits just above the BackBeat Go 600 in the Go range. worthy heir to the BackBeat Pro 2?

The Backbeat Go 810 is a good choice if you’re looking for a wireless listening companion with active noise reduction under the $150 mark…especially if you plan to use it primarily that way. Indeed, the sound reproduction is really interesting only in this use. Apart from that, it remains a complete and pleasant model to use. If you are unsure, take a look at the equally interesting HD 4.50 BTNC, or simply the Backbeat Pro 2 since it is now close in terms of price.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

Well designed, very pleasant to use, particularly durable and equipped with an effective hands-free kit, the Elite 45h masters its subject in terms of ergonomics. For better sound performance, you may prefer the Live 500BT, for example (or its version with noise reduction, the 650BTNC), which is more melodious, but less feature-rich — even with a mini-jack input!
