Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), a pioneer in wearable technology, today introduced the BackBeat GO 2, the next generation of the company's best-selling wireless stereo earbuds for today's always-connected consumer.
The BackBeat GO 2, which allows users to easily switch between listening to music, watching videos and taking phone calls, delivers the ultimate in versatility and connectivity, for the music and media enthusiast and mobile professional. Connecting to smartphones, tablets and music players with Bluetooth, the BackBeat GO 2 is an ideal solution for users in any environment, whether they are immersed in their media, commuting to work or living an active lifestyle.
The new BackBeat GO 2 features high-quality audio with rich bass, crisp highs and natural mid tones, providing premium acoustics in a compact, lightweight design. Plantronics has also improved the overall power management on this release with extended listen and talk times and the introduction of DeepSleep hibernation mode to preserve battery life. The BackBeat Go 2 also offers the option of a sleek, durable and compact charging and storage case that increases listening and talking time by two full charges (approximately 10 hours).

It's the indispensable companion for the always-on, connected professional and media enthusiast."
