Plantronics - BackBeat FIT Wireless Behind-the-Neck Headphones - Blue/Black

Worth every penny!! These headphones feel incredibly comfortable! The battery life is insanely long, and they never fall out!! I am a live body painter and I needed these for work...a painting can take hours, these help me work more efficiently. The Bluetooth connection is superb and long range, and there's a voice that notifies you your battery life. Easy to understand functions for me That's Not computer savvy. Comes with usb cord and an awesome carry case that flips into a wrist band! I love my back beats!!!

After numerous issues with Motorola S9, S9-HD and S10-HD's... I finally gave up on the brand. Where the Motorola claimed to be "sweatproof", the Plantronics - BackBeat FIT come through. I have had zero issues with the BackBeats to date. They are comfortable to wear, don't bounce around or come loose during exercise and they sound great. I wish they were offered in other colors as I'm not terribly fond of the blue or green, but their design and sound make up for it and I can't take away a rating star for that.

I've used a lot of headphones, I mean a lot and so far these have been the best I have ever had. They are comfortable and easy to use.

These are by far some of the best bluetooth headphones I've owned and I've owned quite a few from the LG Tone Pro, the Plantronics Backbeat 805, and the Motorola Rokr S305 to name a few. These headphones top them all! Comfort: They're light, come with a few different size ear pieces which allow for the removal of the ear loops if you prefer. They're flexible and do not impede your laying on a bench nor do they come out of place. They don't move around a lot and pretty much feel like you're not even wearing anything at all. Durability: They are completely flexible and can be tossed around, twisted or scrunched up and put in your pocket and they just spring back to form once released/removed. They're waterproof so no amount of sweat, or rain are going to damage them. They come with an included carrying pouch (which also doubles as an arm band and can hold phones up to the size of an iphone 5S, but sadly does nothing for my Galaxy Note 4) Features: These are by far the simplest headphones to use. There is a charging port which uses a microUSB connector which is pretty standard. There are 4 buttons two on the left ear two on the right. Press and hold the right ear function button (the smaller one) to turn the headset on and off. When turned on, answer/end by tapping, or reject a call by holding the primary right ear button if held while receiving a call. You can also press the left ear primary (play/pause) button while on a call to mute and unmute. When not on a call, the left ear primary button plays and pauses music, and when the smaller function button is pressed and held the volume increases steadily with an audible notification of reaching max volume, while tapping that button decreases the volume in small increments. Tapping the right function/power button while the headset is on will also give an audible battery level notification indicating low/medium/high battery levels. Battery Life: In terms of battery life I can wear these for about 8 hrs of straight music play. After using these all week during my gym workouts I usually end up having to charge them by the weeks end. The Plantronics backbeat 805 put up slightly better numbers but at the expense of weight and comfort, and considering the unobtrusive nature of the Backbeat Fit their battery life is excellent.

Initially the headset worked fine, then it stopped suddenly and would not take a charge. Nothing. There are several similar stories on Internet. Do NOT buy this expensive headset. Price does not match quality/durability.

I bought my BackBeat FIT after extensive research online (I was up until 3 a.m.). I was torn between these and the LG Tone Ultra, LG Tone Infinitim, and the SOL Shadow. In the end, the over-the-ear design and water repellency (plus the neat chartreuse color) helped me make my choice. I am very pleased with the headphones. They do everything I wanted them to do, which is simply to connect wirelessly with my iPod Nano, so I can listen to music when I take my daily two-mile walk, unencumbered by wires. The sound quality is what I would expect from an open design, which is fine, because it's that design that prevents me from being hit by a car. The buttons work pretty easily, once you have gotten used to them, but I wouldn't mind just a teensie, weensie, bit more volume. But, considering the low price, I can't complain. I hesitated to rate them 5 stars, but ONLY because of Plantronics' poor website support and tiny instruction booklet (I guess they're copying Apple). SUMMARY: If you're looking for an inexpensive, comfortable, water repellent, wireless headset to use for walking or jogging, these are perfect. Although I haven't tried them at my gym yet, I'm guessing they'll be okay there, too.

This is an initial product review and not a long term review so I plan to come back and update this once I use these headphones more. After opening the package, I was pleasantly surprised to feel the quality of these headphones. I was expecting a fairly rigid wraparound frame to then place in your ears but these ended up being rubbery with lots of movement and reminded me of the same qualilty that Apple puts out. The materials seem very durable to me and are VERY lightweight. I just completed my first run with them (5 miles at an intense pace) and despite all my sweat, I never had an issue of these falling out or slippage of any kind. They stayed planted around my ears the whole time. These were easy to pair up with my phone (iPhone 5C) and included a (very) short micro USB charging cable. The arm band/case that is also included is fairly nice however a little misleading. I ordered the green pair of headphones so my case is green. It's reversible and as a 'case' it is black. However to use it as a proper armband, you have to reverse it and now the entire case is green and it's more of a yellowish green than a neon green (which I personally don't like but I'm picky). The package also includes two small earbuds (though they don't look that much smaller) should you have smaller ears. Overall I'm very pleased with this. It was nice not having to worry about a cord when I was running. Again, I haven't used them much yet so I cannot yet speak to battery life or durability but I have high hopes with no reason to believe otherwise. If you do get these, one quick tip that would have saved me about 5 minutes is that tapping the volume button increases the volume and holding the button down lowers the volume.

Style, comfort, battery life, and fit are great. The question to ask yourself before purchasing these is how much importance do you put on audio quality versus situational awareness. These do sound really good and are undoubtably acceptable, but due to the nature of non-in-ear headphones there is a sacrifice on sound quality. When you put a little pressure on these, thus pushing them further into your ear, you can hear the improvement in bass and dynamic range, but when you release is when you will realize the sacrifice made in order to allow sounds around you to come in. I often find myself bumping up against the max volume tone when I'm in a place with other noises around me, but do not necessarily need to hear those outside sounds. If you want to block out the world with these headphones, look else where, but if you want to have awareness of sounds around you or be able to comfortably have a conversation with someone while these sit in your ears then they are the probably the best option for sport bluetooth headphones. Also, the included armband with mine fits an iPhone 6 with a thin-ish case and was very useful, thus saving me from having to purchase one separately.
