My wife and I have been looking for some headphones that we could use at the gym and at home, watching Netflix on the iPad. She'd been looking at some Beats headphones, but there was a serious amount of sticker shock that goes there. I have a pair of Plantronics Backbeat 305's that I love using for the gym or for a run. So when I saw that they made a 505 version, I picked them up!
I was pleased that the 505's do a great job producing great sound. I was able to identify treble, mids and bass notes while listening to music and they did a great job streaming movies and TV shows on our iPad. I also connected them to our Apple TV, so now my wife can watch her shows on the TV in the bedroom and I can play Doom on my Switch - everyone wins!
The 505's state that they can run for unto 18 hours of wireless audio at moderate levels. We've used them several nights in a row and they still report a high battery. Alternatively, when we're watching TV on the iPad, we sometimes use the wired connection to save battery life.
I also used them at the gym. They stayed pretty still during my workout, but there were some times they shifted. I ended up taking them off and going back to my 305's since they have a clip that connects them to my shirt. I also took the 505's for a run and was pleased that they offered decent sound and sweat resistant. Which is nice, because I sweat a lot when I run.
Although they don't last as long as Beats do on a charge, I found the 505's to be a great set of wireless headphones. I was impressed by Plantronics' work on the 305 and am more impressed now with the 505's. If you're looking for a solid wireless headset that doesn't break the bank (or have the Apple tax) then you should check out the 505's.
They have a great, sturdy feel and I also like that they came with their own carrying pouch and the earphones rotate so they can lay flat which makes packing them in a suticase or backpack a breeze.

I brought this head phone for my grandson. He didn't tell me that it works with his Chromebook but not his tablet. My grandson says the sound is nice and clear but he wanted it for his tablet. I got them for a really good price at Best Buy. Since I'm not sure if I purchased the wrong product I gave it 3 stars.

Great alternative to expensive in-ear headphones. Good battery life. Good Bluetooth reception. Easy to pair. Connects quickly to Bluetooth devices. I use with my Galaxy Note 8, IPAD Air 2, IPAD. Pro, and MacBook.

In s arch of a great set of head phones but you don’t/can’t afford the other big name brands price...we’ll go no further! These are great noise canceling earphones that work well with all sports even long runs.

Bought these to replace some wireless earbud buds that would sometimes fallout at the gym. Much better than the more expensive over the ear version, much louder. Buy with confidence.

Very good headphones. I use for outdoor lawn work and they do a great job of playing the music rather than than the lawnmower sounds.

Wow, not sure what kind of futuristic technology this is but it can connect to my phone with out wires. I have also noticed that these will double as a phone, if I’m wearing them and my phone rings I hear it in the head phones and can talk to who ever calls so these are kinda like two products for the price of one.
