This powerful audio allows one to hear music with exceptional clarity levels and exhibits a safety-oriented design which facilitates hearing of surrounding sounds and makes the wearer to be noticed. The armband is reversible and secures the smartphone as one moves, storing the headphones when unused. The powerful custom codec and speakers employed provide heart-pumping bass together with crisp high notes, only pausing to allow for making of calls. As well, the device possesses superb rugged water-resistance and P2i-coated sweat-proof design. It utilizes safety-oriented design for ear-tip and reflective finishes which enable one to hear the surrounding and get spotted at night.

The entire headset has been molded from Neoprene, a flexible and rubbery material. It is quite durable and accentuated in nice manner, exhibits a reflective blue that aids visibility when exercising in the dark. It is tricky putting on the Backbeats, since the ear supports snug somewhat, but this might not be a problem for every user. The headset does remain intact while in use however, whichever the kind of activity is done. As well, individual earpieces feature small rubber wire used for fastening the speaker onto auditory canal. This is not sealed as the earphones yet keeps close the speaker. Look forward to freely listen to music, as no support cord bounces around loosely on this pair of headphones.

Highs and extreme lows get boosted in rather aggressive form on Plantronics BackBeat FIT. This functions quite well, however, unless earpiece sits too close to canal, at which point the overly explosive bass and harsh treble could be troubling. The mid-range and upper bass sound a bit flat as they get overshadowed by the low bass and treble. It is pleasing that this pair of headphones remains in place tightly at all times. The device measures 24 by 0.5 by 1.2 inches and weighs 0.8 ounces.

Telephone functions work in very satisfactory manner as the Backbeat FIT utilizes a microphone of good quality. The controls are slightly tricky, with music and calls working with ease. Some improvements could be done on the skip, power and volume buttons, however. ‘Ledges’ of much smaller size are utilized atop the round central calling buttons, with the right upper one getting tilted/pressed down for powering on and off operations. Control of volume is achieved by clicking the left ‘ledge’ once and holding down for louder and quieter operations, respectively.

Plantronics BackBeat FIT pair of headphones is superb to use, especially when performing exercises as they hardly come off, while remaining crystal-clear. Majority of individuals should find them comfortable to wear. The device as well includes reflective arm band case suitable for use with Smartphone devices, which doubles up as storage case for your headphones.
