When shopping for headphones, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of brands available, but quality head-fi is no longer only within reach of audiophiles: Regular users are demanding more from their headphones today, and are willing to pay a bit more for it. This growing competition also means that you no longer have to spend a small fortune for a good set of noise-canceling cans like the Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2, and this solid midrange wireless pair is now on sale from Amazon for $64 off.
Plantronics is a well-established electronics brand but is lesser known than some others like Bose, Audio-Technica, or Sennheiser (at least when it comes to headphones). There’s a good chance, then, that you may not have heard of the Plantronics BackBeat series.

This, when paired with the soft leatherette cups that fully envelop your ears, blocks ambient noises around you so you can enjoy your entertainment in privacy. When synced with your phone, you can also use the two built-in mics to take and make calls, and the

The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 have a more reasonable sticker price of $199; right now, though, Amazon has them marked down to just $135 ahead of Prime Day, saving you $65. If you’re hunting for a new set of headphones and don’t have a Prime membership needed for Prime Day deals, the BackBeat Pro 2 offer a lot of value.
