Comfortable, Stable, Great Sound and Connection
Pros: * Solid connection between earbuds and phone. * Comfortable and stable fit. * Great battery life both in the buds and the charging case. * Good, clear sound. * Ability to hear surroundings without taking buds out or pushing buttons. * On-bud controls for basics like volume and track selection. Cons: * Volume doesn’t get really loud. * Slightly awkward touch controls for left bud. * Slightly annoying left/right positional swap in charging case. I have used many true wireless earbuds and its a given that they all have compromises in design or features. These buds, however; are the most balanced in those terms for me. The built-in ear hooks make them look a tad larger than some other models, but the hooks work great to keep the buds firmly in/on your ears so they don’t fall out during a run or workout without the need for replacement tips with different sizes of stabilizing pieces. On the right bud is a clicky button to do the usual; play/pause, track up/down, invoke voice assistance, etc.. On the left bud, however; is a clicky button that also has a touch-sensitive surface. While the right bud’s button is actually clicked, the left button is mostly just touched quickly (volume up) or touched briefly (volume down) as the click doesn’t do anything by default. You can customize that behavior in the app, though but doing so eliminates the ability to change the volume from the buds. One of the main advertising features of these buds is that they allow situational awareness by not intentionally sealing in your ears and blocking all outside sound. This is great for being able to know what’s going on around you, but the side effect is that these buds just don’t have the “oomph” or bass of other models. Sound quality is quite clear and good given the limitation of not having powerful bass. For my tastes, the volume doesn’t quite get loud enough- I usually have them set for almost the max volume and they sound “normal” for my workouts. Of course, your mileage may vary, but don’t expect these buds to drown your ears in loud music or deep bass. The battery life is really good for true wireless buds at about 5 hours before needing to put them back in the nice charging/carrying case. The case is better than most in that the buds securely snap in and the case has a zipper to keep it closed and the buds situated while charging. Some competing models sometimes pop open during transport allowing the buds to discharge so they are drained when you get where you’re going. My slight complaint about the case, though, is that the left bud stores on the right side and the right on the left side. Normally you take the buds out with one in each hand but in this case, the buds are in the swapped hands for wearing. Not major, but something to notice. In 10 hours of use at my local gym, the left bud lost connectivity with the right one just once and almost instantly resumed connection. The right bud never lost connection to the phone (iPhone XS). Overall, these are great earbuds for working out! They’ve got the goods where it counts; connectivity, battery life, secure fit and a really nice charging case. The sound isn’t the best I’ve heard but it’s no slouch, either. I’d highly recommend these buds for anyone who values their soundtrack while working out.

Excellent Workout/Running Headphones
The BackBeat Fit 3100 are the true workout/running headphones. They are light and feel very comfortable in the ear, and the best part they stay put. There are two things in my opinion that make this headphones standout, one of them is the ear loops, they feel soft and are very flexible to maneuver them around your ear, that what makes them stay put. The second one is that Always Aware feature which let you hear your surrounding with the headphone on. I though that was a gimmick but it does work, that was one of the main reasons I did not like to wear headphones during cardio workout, because I could not hear my surroundings, but these headphones they took care of that problem A+. These are also good for the gym, especially when lying flat on the bench, they just feel normal without the needs to adjust them like some other workout headphones. On the audio side for their size they sound great, music sounds very well balance between base, mids, and treble. Battery life manufacture suggest 5hrs, mines lasted around 5 and half, maybe because they are new, either way 5 hours is long time for continuous play. The charging case store additional 10 hours of charge for total of 15 hours without having to be plug to wall, charging the earbuds took little over hour to be fully charged. The case is small to be portable but not comfortable enough to have it in the pocket compare to others like Apple airpods. The charging cable provided to charge the Case is also very small and it does not have its own power brick, so either plug directly to your PC, a USB socket if you have one, or use your phone power brick and a micro USB cable. The BackBeat Fit 3100 also has some cool features under it hood, each earbud has its own function. The right earbud controls the play/pause, rewind/forward, and also summons Google Assistant, or Siri that’s pretty cool. The left earbud you use it to adjust the volume via touch sensitive function. You definitely have to practice to get use to the features it can get little confusing since both of them can be use. On the negative side the earbuds do not have noise cancelling I assume because of the Always Aware feature, and that could be a tradeoff for some. Paring them with your phone is a breeze, just need to go under your Bluetooth setting and pair them just like any other Bluetooth device or use the Backbeat dedicated phone app with also has some cools feature to be use with these headsets. Overall these are excellent workout/running headphone I have ever used, and that’s because the Always Aware feature, the sound, battery life, and they just stay put very comfortable. In the box it comes with the Charging case, pair of earbuds, USB cable, and manual. Pros: Always Aware feature Secure Fit Built Quality Water/Sweat Proof Battery Life Quality Sound 10 hrs. Charging Case Cons: Small Charging Cable Bulky Charging Case No Noise Canceling

Very nice earbud headphones
At first glance the packaging design and look of these earbuds is very sleek and well thought out. Pairing them with my phone was a breeze. They are designed mainly for outdoor use it seems, seeing as they're water/sweat resistant, and they let you still hear your surroundings, which obviously is perfect for running outside. They are super comfy to wear, which for me is important because I have picky, sensitive ears. The sound quality is very good, could be slightly better, but that's probably because I'm not used to the Always Aware feature just yet. I love that the case is also a charger for the earbuds, though the cable is SUPER short, which works for it to fit in the case but not so great for charging. There are touch sensitive controls on the left ear for volume and such, the right earpiece is where you power off, pause, and skip to the next/previous song. I didn't time it but the earbuds needed charging somewhere between 4-5 hours of use, so pretty accurate to description. They stayed in place flawlessly, even with bending over and in different directions, they didn't budge. All in all I would say these are very nice earbuds.
