The best headphones you can get!
||Posted .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!!!

Good and I know how to make them BETTER!
Posted .I like this pair for many reasons. That said, there is an easy fix for those who want to make them louder!!! I have some Earhoox that I bought for my iPhone earphones. By luck, they fit these Earpods perfectly. They were invented to keep your earphones from slipping out. What I found is they actually bring the earphones deeper into your ear and thus making the volume much better!!! The website I used to find these is http://earhoox.com/?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=sas I would HIGHLY recommend looking into it, since I was almost ready to return this pair due to needing more volume. Another thing to consider, is your music source. If you are relying on iTunes, the volume output is weak. If you are streaming your music on Spotify, you'll have a Louder output and better BASS and clarity overall. Plus on Spotify, you can easily tweak the built in Equalizer to get all the Bass or Treble (and everything in between) you like. *With the Earhoox installed, it's just enough volume to keep me happy. Without.. well... not so much. I like that they are light and flexible. Quick charge. Was worried about the look at first, since I prefer and all Black (less is more) look, but I have to say, the Black and Blue look really good on.

Best Bluetooth Headphones for Exercise Enthusiasts
||Posted .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.

PERFORMED AS EXPECTED!
Posted .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.

Do NOT purchase this headset!
||Posted .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.

Better than expected
||Posted .These are the first and only bluetooth headphones I've tried... With that being said, I love them! I was a bit skeptical at first, but after long hours on YouTube watching reviews for these as well as the competition, I can honestly say I made the right decision. They feel good in the ear with little to no movement when doing extensive exercises. Yes, they do let in some outside noise. But, it doesn't bother me. For the 1-2hrs I spend in the gym, these headphones do exactly what I need them to do. Whether it's pull-ups, running, boxing, lifting weights... You'll never have to worry about these headphones getting in the way.

Many Failed! ...but I was surprised how well...
||Posted .Lets see I tried: Monsters BT Buds; Beats PowerBeats2; and Jaybirds. Only one that came close were the Beats, but when I ran outside (btw I'm training for half marathon) when it got warmer out they always fell out. Maybe too heavy or fittings were compliant w/ my ear design (LOL) - even after month of struggling w/ them I had to return them. The other two never stayed in my ears. Now these Plantronics are the best!! They stay in my ears (even on my hottest of runs), BT very reliable, and sound is very good ( i would argue better then any of the others). I get sound and fit is personal thing - but like me I ignored this brand for no tangible reason. The price and how well these work versus much more advertised and "image" centric brands - these should be your first stop. Sound great, BT stable, and don't FALL out! Been using them for 30days 6 days a week. No issues!! Great find! Hints: I have iphone 5s then 6 and kept in them in my flip belt or my pocket - I felt keeping BT device on my RIGHT side stabilized BT interference (better then other brands too). If you need on left and hear interference try moving to the right. Might be specific to where the BT is in the headphones (not sure). Also - battery life is very good. Works as advertised 6-8hrs before additional charge. When you turn them on it tells you battery life. Also, works w/out any issues w/ my apple watch (which also uses BT). Only negative is that need to be careful not to over turn the swivel ear piece. It may pop off. Don't worry snaps back in. Swivel allows for better fit adjusts 20-30 degrees (I think).

Q: QuestionDo these come with different size ear bud tips?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer No. They are not ear buds. They don't seal into your ear like earbuds do and therefore don't require different sizes. They rest in your ear but don't seal. That said, they stay in place really well. They are ideal for being able to still hear what is going on around you while you're exercising

Q: QuestionCan I use this headset with my Galaxy phone and my laptop?I'm looking for a good wireless headset that I can use for laptop meetings, Skype and also with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I see the armband accessory accompanying this headset ONLY accommodates an iPhone, so my concern is that the headphones are somehow specific to iPhone use.

- A:Answer You can use this with all devices that have bluetooth . I use them with my Samsung Galaxy S5. Unfortunately not with my laptop because they dont have an option for bluetooth. Hope that helped. Enjoy!
