Review: Plantronics BackBeat Fit headphones - techAU

Plantronics are back with another set of headphones and this time they’re aimed squarely and fairly at the fitness market. The BlackBeat FIT headphones are lightweight, waterproof and have pretty great battery life. After spending a few weeks living with them, here’s the review. Design and Comfort The BackBeat FIT is made up of 2 in-ear earbuds that are connected by a plastic neckband meaning you’ll never loose them. When you’re wearing them, the band doesn’t hang on your neck, instead the semi-rigid rubber has enough strength to hold its shape to hover over your neck, achieved with the behind the ear fitting. When you first put on the FIT, they’re not immediately comfortable and I’ll admit, they were harder to make stick […]

The old 3.5mm headphone jack isn’t as widely used as it once was, at least for plugging in headphones, thanks to ever improving technology in the Bluetooth headphone market.

Plantronics BackBeat FIT Review – Listening to music has now been a part of our daily lives. We listen to it while we work, sleep, or even during an exercise. The problem is that listening to music while you jog or lift weights with a regular, wired headset does not offer the most enjoyable experience. […]
