Photos: Altec Lansing Backbeat Bluetooth headset
Get a hands-on look at Altec Lansing's BackBeat 906 and 903 stereo Bluetooth headphones, announced at CES 2009.photo 2 of 7
The BackBeat Bluetooth headset comes in two flavors: the BackBeat 906 ($129) and BackBeat 903 ($99). The difference between the two models is the inclusion of the Bluetooth transmitter (shown here with the iPhone), which is only offered with the BackBeat 906. The Altec Lansing Bluetooth transmitter uses a 3.5mm audio cable and recharges over a mini USB connection.
The transmitter isn't exceptionally pretty or small, but few standalone Bluetooth transmitters are. When used with the iPhone, you can stream stereo audio from the headphone jack, as well as answer incoming calls using the headset's microphone. Phone call conversations are heard in both ears in dual mono.
