According to our headphones expert
The Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 is a pair of over-ear headphones you can use to wirelessly listen to music. Thanks to the aptX Bluetooth profile, you can stream high-quality audio. The headphones have a wireless range of 100 meters. That means you can walk through your whole house wearing the headphones without losing the music. You can listen to music for up to 24 hours on a single charge. The noise canceling slightly muffles disturbing ambient noise. After use, you can store the headphones in the pouch.

This headset is an excellent choice if the Bose QC35 is just too expensive for you.
Active Noise Cancellation prevents most of the outside noise from disappearing. It is a lot quieter in the car (don't drive yourself with ANC!), at work you won't be bothered by the loud air conditioning unit or the radio that plays wrong music. If you have the ANC on without playing music, you can still hear the people around you a bit, but they sound fairly muffled. As soon as you turn on the music, you hardly hear them. I will be traveling to New Zealand soon and will be very happy with ANC.
The sound quality is fine for music lovers. The bass has a good deep bass but is not too strong and gives the mids and highs a chance. Mids and highs are solid and sound natural.
The headset has handy buttons on the left earcup that let you pause, play, skip and go back the music. Volume can also be controlled. Pressing the right ear on the side picks up a phone call or hangs up a call. If you take the headset off, the music will pause and resume when you put the headset back on.
At the bottom of the right earcup you have a 3.5mm plug and a micro-USB port. You connect to the headset via bluetooth or via a 3.5mm cable, if you plug in the cable, the bluetooth is switched off. ANC works via bluetooth and the cable.
The left earcup offers a switch for ANC, ANC off and Openmic listening. With Openmic you can hear everything around you through the microphone in the headset.
Bluetooth connection of the headset reaches 100 meters if there are no walls between them.
The battery of the headset certainly lasts 24 hours with ANC and the volume at about 70% (set on the headset). You will hear messages from the headset such as "Bluetooth on, phone 1 connected, battery high" (you can pair two phones to the headset at the same time).
I think the design of the headset is well done. The earpads fit well and don't get too hot. The headband also fits well and has a breathing mesh design.

Fat sound, nice bass, good midtones and crispy highs. Great wearing comfort, 24 hours of listening pleasure per charge. Pair with two devices at the same time. Intercom function. Works perfectly with Apple TV 4th gen, Iphone, Ipad, Apple watch 2. A big 9/10 for me. It is a pity that the drive under W10 is a bit meager compared to the rest of the devices.

I've owned a number of headphones (Beats by Dre, Beats Pro, Sennheiser, B&O), but for sound quality, wearing comfort and functionality (and less than Eur250!) there are none better.
Easy to set up, very logical control, a choice of noise canceling or not, and also super clear on a call (no cable needed!), so I am totally impressed and can recommend Backbeats Pro 2 to everyone 100% recommend.
Although they are wireless, the sound quality is incredibly high. I have used them many times to stream and listen to Spotify, iTunes, YouTube etc and there is no loss of sound quality at all and no unexpected background noise either.
If I have to find a negative, the carrying case is only suitable for keeping the headphones clean, but offers no protection against bumps or accidental drops. Beats, for example, has a slightly sturdier carrying case.
