Plantronics GO 2 Wireless Earbud Headphones

Q: battery length

A: I believe the "14.5 hours" comes in to play when you consider the charging ability of the carrying case. The headphones should last around 4.5 hours, plus you get 2 charges out of the carrying case.... so rounding up (a couple of numbers) gets you to that 14.5 overall.

Q: Can calls be answered by controls on the headphones?

A: Yes. The headphones have 3 buttons that control many functions, including pairing, volume, start/stop music and answering and hanging up calls. The center button (which answers and hangs up calls) can also initiate a redial and triggers the voice command functions, which allow you to call someone in your address book (or recite a number to dial) hands-free.

Q: Is this compataiable with Android phones ? Like the LG3

A: Yes it is. I use it with the LG3 and my HTC.

Q: windows phone

A: These headphones connect wirelessly to any bluetooth enabled device.

Q: I have small ear canals. Will they fit me?

A: Those ear buds are our smallest. I would recommend checking the return policy of the store before purchasing the headset. To make sure you can return it, if it doesn't fit.

Q: How is the mic quality while making calls?

A: Background noise will come through, as the Go2 doesn't have a noise canceling mic. We do have a number of headsets that will have a noise canceling mic. Like the Legend, Edge, Focus, etc.

Q: What size drivers do these have? Impedance?

A: Honest truth? don't buy these. I bought them awhile back and hate them. I don't know the answer to your specific question but I can help you by telling you not to get them. The earbuds themselves are so heavy with no support they are constantly falling out. Also, you're lucky if you get more than an hour of use per charge. If you're looking 'wireless' , go with something with either support built in to the earbud or the style that rests on your shoulders.

Q: Does the BackBeat GO 2 Bluetooth Earbud Headphones work with Apple iWatch?

A: I don't why it wouldnt

Good set for the outdoors or active life style
I bought these headphones exclusively for mountain biking, the flat wire allowed me to route them through the inside of my bike helmet comfortably. They are lightweight and fit securely in the ears. So far the ear buds have hold in place to the bouncing and active use. The signal is constant, the sound is good and noise cancellation is good too. These have a very nice, soft and durable rubber finish which is forgiving to dirt, dust, as well as moisture. I find very easy to wipe them clean after every use. The downside of these is the battery life. These are advertised to offer up to 14-1/2 hours of listening time when fully charged however, somehow they never last me more than 4 hours of continuous use. I do not bike all day so it does not bother me that much but still feel mislead. If you are looking for a rugged, durable and comfortable headset these may be for you however, make sure to get the charging case too because you will need it. If you need a Bluetooth headphone that rock all day then get the LG - Tone+ Bluetooth Headset, those suckers don’t die.

Paid something like $89
I've since seen them on sale for much less but I'm not angry. Battery Life is as advertised. I really like to supplemental charger / carry case. Sound is good overall but like most in ear head phones there is thumping during exercise, but I probably do have a harsh stride. No excess thumping on an elliptical. When I purchased - I did not understand how these things stay in your ears, but I like the method. Not quite as comfortable as my Bose in ear but they do stay in and are gloriously cordless! I've uploaded a picture to help you see how these things stay in your ears. A little tricky to pair to multiple devices. Basically you need to repair each time you switch devices. An extra step for sure but easy to manage from the head phones just start with the head phones off and hold down power button until they enter pairing mode.

Works great and connects to my phone instantly
Fast connection (Nexus 5 Phone), Sounds are crystal clear, bass is clean and high, but not as much bass as previous generation. Bought this to replace my first gen back beat Go's, as they had, after 2 years of heavy abuse, finally stopped working properly, only one ear piece only works now. These Back Beat Go 2's are big step up on volume, much louder then pervious gen, and sound is really clean. The first gen had much more bass, in my opinion, but the volume on these make up for it and it still has great bass. My job requires air plugs, and these act the exact same for me as the ear plugs, blocking sounds that are harmful, such as plane engine noises. This is a great plus since I can use it for both that, and listening to music, or answering calls. The sweat proof coating helps with not sliding out of ears when I sweat, 1st gen used to occasionally slide out, losing ear protection and sound quality when I was sweaty. Don't bother with the ear tips that are already on, just go straight for the smaller ones inside the box, it was the same with 1st gen, and the same with these. Only then you can appreciate and hear the nice bass and clean sound. The only reason not to give this a 5 star rating, would be battery life. While for my needs its great, the competitions battery life blows these out the water. But I'd choose these over any other, any day, the small form factor is much better, they're literally just like small ear plugs. Battery lasts 4.5 hours of continuous use, however they last me a full 8 hour work day listening to music on and off, and a TV show here and there. I do however turn them off, for every time I take them out of my ears, which I believe helps make them last long. The good news is, the case it comes with, acts as an extra battery charger. If you do drain the battery, you just have to plug it into the case and you will get a full charge within 20 mins. You can do this twice with the case, so you could actually get a good 14 hours of play with these headsets if you use the case for a brief 15-20 mins. I do wish the case itself was a little better in fully protecting them, but it does the job decently. One complaint I have, is each one may come with an AC adapter or not, some boxes come with it and some come with a USB adapter instead. The USB apdater can be plugged into a computer and has an additional USB port, in order to still be able to use USB with something else while charging. Every package should actually just have an AC adapter instead, but that's what Plantronics chose to do in some boxes. These adapters aren't to be confused with the single USB cable that comes in the box, you are supposed to get the adapter along with the cable. Which leads me up to another complaint, my box didn't have either adapter, and was missing. I didn't bother take it back as there was only 2 left, and there where brought from "the back" of the store, plus I have my ac cable from the 1 gen. So make sure you're getting everything in your box if you decide to purchase one of these bad boys. You will know which one you're supposed to get, as there's a picture underneath the instruction manuals of which you should have, AC adapter or USB adapter, plus cable. The range is also good, I can walk away from my phone almost a good 60ft and still be connected. Controls are simple, Power button, vol up and vol down. Power button Acts as pause and play for music, also use to answer and hang up calls. One slight long press will launch Google now, and a double tap will do a redial. Holding a vol button will skip forward or backwards (+ or -) to next track or previous track, or replay current song. There's also voice alerts, unlike previous gen which was just different beeps, these ones have a woman's voice, notifying you of battery strength and when connected or not. Also vol up and down. Hoping these will last me a good 2 years, just like the 1st gen lasted me.
