Unless you’re an absolute bass fiend, or prefer an in-ear fit, it’s a fantastic headset at a very good price. It took a while to work out why my music had suddenly stopped.Īside from that minor confusion, the BackBeat FIT was a joy to use, setting standards that I wish were met by far pricier Bluetooth headphones. The headset kept turning on in a rucksack and connecting to my phone, overriding the headphones I was wearing. When we reviewed the BackBeat Fit 3100 earphones from Plantronics last year, we found one major thing lacking: Bass. Whenever I tried to pair the BackBeat FITs with a device I had no problems connecting quickly – in fact, they turned out to be a little too good at this. It probably won’t be the difference between life and death when running at night, but every little helps. A wide variety of colours are available and the headset also has some reflective detailing. ![]() The band is flexible and the whole caboodle is waterproof, which bodes well for its durability. The pouch offers an extra 16 hours of playback, so you can fully charge the headphones twice. The headset has controls for play and pause, as well as taking calls, although the latter will reduce the battery life by a couple of hours. Plantronics has also broken new ground with the new Boost edition (£139.99) of the BackBeat FIT, which comes with a travel pouch that doubles as a portable battery. ![]() As someone who mostly listens to podcasts and embarrassing pop music when running, I value a comfortable fit far more than thundering bass, but for some it might not suffice. ![]() Given the ambient fit and modest price, it’s perhaps not surprising the sound quality doesn’t quite match top-end models like the BEOPLAY H5, especially when it comes to bass. ![]()
