Altec Lansing BackBeat 903

Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked best.

Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 Bluetooth headset

Editors' rating: 4

The good: The Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 stereo Bluetooth headphones provide an open, detailed sound, excellent call quality, and a flexible, lightweight fit.

The bad: The thick behind-the-neck cable and ear-hugging design may be uncomfortable to some users and the open nature of the earpiece sacrifices some sonic range compared with a sealed design.

The bottom line: The Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 is a ruggedly-constructed, thoughtfully conceived, and sonically impressive stereo Bluetooth headset, but the one-size-fits-all design may disappoint some users.
