backbeat Altec Lansings BackBeat headphones make it easier to chat

If you’re tired of having to pull your earbuds out when someone starts talking to you, then Altec Lansing has the perfect solution for you. The BackBeat 906 and 903 earbuds come with two mics built-in. When you pause the music on one earbud a second microphone is activated allowing you to hear what they’re saying without actually taking the earbud out of your ear. Both models are Bluetooth stereo 2.0 capable with the 906 coming with a 3.5mm Bluetooth stereo dongle for use with non-Bluetooth devices such as your television or iPod. Look for the earbuds to hit store shelves in March. [via DVICE]
