The right pair of noise cancelling headphones can be satisfying to behold, but such delights rarely come cheap.

The short version here is that the BackBeat Go 810 are super comfortable to wear, surprisingly-cheap and they sound pretty good.

Couple months back we tackled Plantronics first entry into truly wireless earbuds and a pair of around the neck headphones. This time we will be looking at the BackBeat Go 810. This isn't Plantronics first time at over the ear musical cans, but it is at this price point and this design.

Along with the three BackBeat Fit models that I reviewed a few days ago, Plantronics announced on Monday two new Go headsets: the in-ear Go 410 and the over-ear Go 810. The governing idea behind the two units is to bring wireless noise cancelation to the masses at a more affordable price.

Plantronics has been putting out a steady stream of pretty affordable headphones that deliver good performance for the money, and the BackBeat Go 810 fits right in with them.

This new over-ear headphone performs well and is half the price of Bose and Sony premium noise-canceling headphones.
