BackBeat 500 Wireless Headphones

Plantronics BackBeat 500 wireless headphones provide up to 18 hours of listening on a single charge. A lightweight frame with memory foam earcups supports all-day comfort. A 3.5 mm backup jack allows continued use when the battery is empty. On-ear controls handle playback, volume and calls with one touch.

18-Hour Battery and DeepSleep

Up to 18 hours of wireless playback covers a full day of commuting, classes or work sessions. DeepSleep mode conserves power automatically when the headphones are not in use. The 3.5 mm backup jack provides a wired fallback so listening continues without recharge downtime. Battery life is measured for sustained daily use rather than short bursts.

Upgrade From Wired or Shorter-Life Models

This model replaces wired headphones that restrict movement or wireless pairs that need daily charging. The jump is worth it when you need multi-day battery between charges and a lightweight design for extended wear. Buyers who need active noise cancellation or longer wireless range should consider other options.
