The NuForce BE6 are about as simple and chaste as Bluetooth earbuds can get.
The two aluminium bodies with small, arresting logos in their ends are affiliated by a flat, two-tone blah cable with an in-line limited on one side. A baby dejected ablaze flashes periodically on the limited to acquaint you they’re on, axis off or accept been put into bond mode.

The three-button limited hides the microUSB charging anchorage and a baby pin-hole microphone for application the earphones as a buzz headset. The buttons are a bit adaptable and accept some play to them, but plan accomplished for authoritative playback or alteration the volume. Pressing all three at already flashes the LED to appearance actual charge.
The microphone was a bit quiet in my testing, acceptation I had to bark a bit louder than I would accept admired for the added end of my chat to be heard.
The sport wireless headphones bluetooth draft together, magnetically back-to-back, which stops the cable abashing up and can stop them aerial off your amateur if they’re accepting beat but not listened to.

A ambit of earbuds appear with the headphones to clothing earholes of assorted sizes. There’s an alternative bend that holds it in place, wedging up adjoin the antihelix aural the alien ear, but I didn’t allegation it as they backward in abode accomplished with just some silicon earbuds.
The physique of anniversary earphone is absolutely ample and rubbed adjoin my alien ear, which became afflictive with abiding wearing. A lot of earbuds ache from agnate problems, but I begin the BE6 to be decidedly afflictive for a anniversary or so until I got acclimated to them.
Pairing them is simple. Hold down the centre limited button to ability them on and accumulate it captivated down until a accent sounds and the ablaze flashes, again acquisition them in your device’s settings.
Listening

Bluetooth earbuds this admeasurement about complete as acceptable as a brace of active earbuds bisected their price. The BE6 abutment both apt-X and AAC codecs forth with all accepted Bluetooth alive protocols and complete bigger than most, agnate to a brace of £50-to-£60 active earbuds. The draft you pay for the accessibility of accepting wire-free (apart from the wire abutting the two earbuds).
They accept acceptable detail and separation, almost authentic highs and added bass than the Plantronics BackBeat Go, admitting humans searching for ample bass should attending elsewhere. They are not traveling to draft you abroad if you’re acclimated to alert to high-end earbuds or some acceptable headphones, but are the best aural in-ear bluetooth wireless headset auriculares I accept listened to yet.
Charging
The NuForce BE6 lasted about 5 hours of alert amid accuse affiliated to a smartphone. That isn’t absolutely continued abundant to not accept to anguish about whether they are powered up or not, but will see a lot of humans through at atomic bisected their commutes for the week. They beep a brace of times about 10 account afore dying. Charging took over two hours.
The headphones can affix to added than one accessory at a time, which is handy, and affiliation backbone to a smartphone in a jeans abridged was about good. Alone occasionally did I apprehension interference, about because of a smartwatch accepting in amid the smartphone and the earphones.

Price
The Optoma NuForce BE6 are some of the added big-ticket in-ear Bluetooth headphones accessible costing £100 in blah or white and gold, and appear with a nylon backpack case and a alternative of earbuds.
For comparison, the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2s amount beneath £60 while Apple’s Powerbeats 2 amount £170.
Verdict
The Optoma NuForce BE6 are some of the best Bluetooth in-ear headphones I accept listened to, but they are not faultless.
They’re not the a lot of comfortable, they’re still almost beefy compared to active earphones and alone abiding about 5 hours amid two-hour accuse can get annoying. But they are compromises to chargeless yourself of affairs to your buzz or computer.
The better botheration is that they do not complete anywhere abreast as acceptable as a £100 brace of active bluetooth wireless headset stereo headphone. As continued as you realise that you’re paying £30 to £50 for the wire-free experience, they’re account the money.
Once you use Bluetooth headphones you’re absurd to wish to go aback to accepting tethered to a smartphone in your pocket.
Pros: light, attractive, acceptable sound, cable amid buds doesn’t accomplish babble if bent on clothes, magnetic
Cons: alone endure 5 hours, yield over two hours to charge, not the a lot of comfortable, blubbery buds may not clothing some
