Altec Lansing Backbeat Classic
$20.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Noise isolation is excellent, blocks out surrounding sounds effectively. Can get a snug fit on any size ears, comfortable cushions. Cord is the perfect length, not cumbersome during a workout.
The Cons:If clothing brushes against the cord there tends to be quite a bit of cord noise. Some dead zones are noticeable, some muffling, not for audiophiles.

Every pair aims to provide a good value for the money with every step up. While the differences between the pairs aren’t enormous, they are significant enough to warrant careful consideration. The Classic 106s have a frequency response of 40 Hz-17 kHz compared with 30 Hz-18.5 kHz for the 206s. The 306s have a broader frequency response of 10 Hz-20kHz. Design wise, the Classic 106s are a step down, with a cheaper build quality when it comes to the buds. The cord measures 46” long and is mesh covered, opposed to being rubberized. The plug features a straight design that will fit into recessed headphone jacks. Also included is a set of 3 silicon tips, which gives users a choice when it comes to finding a comfortable fit.
