If you prefer over the ear headphones for exercise, these are great! They fit pretty snuggly and sound amazing! I've had nothing but great experience with almost all Plantronics products

I really like these headphones. The battery life is great and good sound quality. The only reason a 4 and not a 5 is because they didn’t charge. I have to take them back and get a new pair. I’m planning on getting the same pair, because I think mine was just defective.

Good build. Been using them while washing the cars and doing work around the house. No connection issues while 20 feet away. No pressure on ears even tho the drivers are small after 1 hour of use. Good battery life. Sound is good. Base is ok.

Needed to get away from earbuds and wanted to try out on the ear headphones. I find them a little on small size but adjusted to it. Sound is fine with a good balance between base and treble. I would recommend these to a friend.

Bought for my daughter. She likes that it tells her the level of the battery when she turns it on and if she hits a button on the side. Sound quality is good. Likes the adjustable headband and it is comfortable. Appreciates that you can skip and pause songs or videos.
All around great purchase.

I had to switch to over the ear headphones mainly because my buds were hurting my ears. These wireless headphones are perfect for work, no wire to get in way of keyboard and mouse. Battery life is good, sound quality is better than Apple ear buds. Also, if the phone is ringing or if someone is yelling at me I can still hear them.

Plantronics BackBeat FIT 505 headphones.
My first impressions while unboxing was, they looked good and fit my ears very well. The overall look and feel seems well built. Here’s another product that for some reason does not come with a charger. It comes with a worthless charging cable that, I kid you not, is 12” long. That’s right, a 1 foot charging cable. How on earth would you be able to use a 1 foot cable? No outlet in the world would be close enough to a table or the floor to be able to plug this cable into charger (they don’t supply) and not have the headphones dangle by the wire while there charging. The instructions are on one double sided sheet of paper and in 27 languages, maybe more, I couldn’t count them all. I don’t object to this in any way, but the font is so small you can’t read it without a magnifying glass. Under charging instruction they state to “only use the charger supplied by Plantronics”. They supplied no charger. They go one to say if you’re going to use your cell phone charger, make sure it’s the right voltage. There are no voltage marking I could find on the headphones or in the paperwork supplied. End of first impressions.
The good. While the volume of the headphones is lacking a little for my taste, they produce more sound than my wife can handle. So, volume is a personal judgment, not high enough for me, plenty high enough for my wife. The bass is lacking slightly in Bluetooth mode, but not in cable mode. When plugged directly into a good stereo source they are some of the best sounding headphones I have ever used. When using Bluetooth from that same stereo the bass drops off a little. I know that Bluetooth sound can be different between transmitters and receivers so this is to be expected. Since my stereo is old I am betting the bass loss is in it’s transmitter. The overall sound is on par with headphones that cost twice as much. They pair with more than one source, at the same time. They have buttons for skip forward, skip back, pause/play, volume up/down, power/Bluetooth pairing button, source/answer, and a standard 3mm (1/8”) audio jack, as well as a standard micro USB charging port. When using the 3mm audio jack they become normal headphones. There is no need to turn them on, they just work. This will be a huge benefit to people still using a corded set of headphones. These headphones will allow this group of people to still use their cord while slowly exploring the Bluetooth options. In full on Bluetooth mode you can listen to your stereo from one source and when the phone rings they pause the music, yes pause it, not mute it, and the phone rings in your ears. Touch the select button and it answers the call. They now act at a headset with a microphone. When the call is over they automatically switch back to your audio source and play is selected again. You’ve missed nothing. The 3mm audio cable supplied is 5’ in length. This should be long enough for most situations. The headphones successfully reproduce bass down to 30Hz, the specs say 50Hz but they worked well at 30Hz. Below that they work, but are just making noise, not true sound. I did not test the high end. Since I can no longer hear the high end, my comments on what they reproduce would not be valid. I can tell that they are producing highs well above my ability to hear. They produce highs as well as my B&W tower speakers, and I know they are well above my hearing range. I tested the Bluetooth range out to 46’ with no dropouts. This is well beyond the 33’ they advertise. At 47’ the sound began dropping out. This was with normal wood frame household walls between the stereo and the headphones. Solid exterior walls could reduce the distance. At this point I’ve been using them for about 5 hours and the battery still states high charge. When you first turn them on you get a nice soft female voice in your ears that says, “Power on, battery high, phone 1 connected, phone 2 connected. They call everything a phone as far as connection goes.
My bottom line is they are well worth the money. I would recommend them to my friends.

This is my first set of wireless headphones, and so far I’ve been mostly impressed. I use it to listen to music from my iPhone, and the microphone works well enough to take calls. The over the ear style works well with my glasses, and the padding on the ear is very comfortable. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that the Siri integration doesn’t always work well and after a few months of use there’s a piece of plastic rattling around in the one earpiece (haven’t noticed any issues with sound or functionality so it’s a minor annoyance).

My son loves these and hasn't even mentioned the more popular brand by the music artist. They seem to be durable as I can see him drop them many times being a 13 year old. Still working great and sound clear when we call him.

I replaced my expensive and broken beats wireless with these and I could not be happier. They fit better and feel more sturdy while still offering great sound quality. Wish I had known about these before I spent all that money on something that broke in 6 months

There ok but for gym use they wasn't for me as they would get heavy and I could see them falling off once they get stretched out so I returned them to store . Sound wise was good enough for me but just to bulky as im use to my fit440 series I think it is which is light weight but store didn't have any and needed a new set as old set was messing up. Might need to order my set from plantronic

By far my favorite bluetooth headset it's old school looking no ear plug coming loose. The batter last a long time and it has great spind quality. Very easy to connect it has no issues at all after a month of hard use.

May take a little bit for your neck muscles to adjust, but lighter than most other cans. Easy to operate and good sound.
