Plantronics BackBeat FIT

Advantages: tired of depending on the wires, keep the phone on hand all the time, repair torn headphones or buy new ones? there is a solution.

Disadvantages: The bezel clings to the collar of a shirt, jacket and other clothes with a high, protruding collar (but this model is not intended for such clothes). the interlocutor rarely complains about the quality of communication. no significant drawbacks found

Comment: I bought a few months ago for 5 000 rub. at first they seemed to be inconvenient, constraining movement, with a significant minus in the form of a rather weak sound insulation. the next day, the cat regaled the new device, having bitten the casing of the wire in several places. In general, the money spent was a pity. however, one day later I got used to how the headphones sit (they don’t clutter your ears, don’t think), appreciated all the advantages of hands free and wireless, I realized that the sound insulation provided was a plus (especially for cyclists). ruthless attack of the animal suffered stoically, as if nothing had happened. You need to soberly assess the capabilities of the battery, but it completely suits me. Well, for long hikes it is better to take an external battery somewhere (or use wires). the reception range allows you to put the phone on the windowsill in the gym and conduct training without returning to it. I am not an audiophile and I have no complaints about the sound. management is convenient. look stylish even when playing basketball from the head did not fly.
For the first time in my life I am writing a review. I highly recommend it) I used to change my in-ear headphones every 2-3 months, now there are no problems.

Advantages: Works :). The sound is not 4.5 out of 5. It does not fall out of the ears when walking and running.

Disadvantages: 30 percent bass is not enough.

Comment: Sit enjoying. Qualitatively made product. If for sports, then buy.

Advantages: Great sound for sports headphones
sit comfortably
The main thing for sports headphones, do not fall off
long play time for such a weight

Disadvantages: on the official website it is written about easy switching between connected devices. In fact, you need to: turn off the headphones, turn off the device to which the headphones are connected. Then turn on the bluetooth on the new device and turn on the headphones.
There is no easy button switching.

Comment: Stunning headphones, bought when tired already in the simulator to run with the wired and that on the treadmill constantly need to "tuck."
At first I strained an unfamiliar brand, I thought that the next Chinese "Dzhun Pun" from the Shanghai basement, but then, after learning information from the Internet, I learned that this legendary American company with work in the production of headsets turns out to be more than 60 years old for the aviation and space industries.
Another reason for the purchase was the birth of a child and when everyone fit in at 21.00, then lie down with an ipad on the belly, watch TV shows without disturbing anyone with sound.That is, in addition to the "sports" requirements, the condition was added that with the headphones it was comfortable to lie on the pillow, that is, nothing interfered with the neck.
I ordered three different wireless models to bring the two back-Sony sports, with a sweet back (very hard, not a soft stick out of the back), Klipsch Image One (the sound of "porridge", very much pressure on the ears, such as passive noise reduction) and Plantronics .
As a result, left Plantronics:
Great time, for a “piece of wire” -8 hours without recharging, they sit very comfortably. First, to make the cord a bit shorter, I tied a regular knot (forgive me Plantronics), and secondly headphones, despite the “piece of rope” look , in the area of ​​the temples, you can gently bend, so that they fit more closely to the ears or vice versa. In the third there are special rubber loops on the "speakers", with which the "speakers" rest, cling inside the ear. Therefore, sometimes sitting at the table I don’t even wear ear hooks, these loops are enough.
I would also add that Plantronics, of the three models, had the loudest sound. All that is needed is “hiccupping”, “thumping”, in general, the sound is open, transparent, clear, and a pleasure.
I got used to controlling four buttons in a day, it’s convenient to pause, switch tracks, you can not only music on your smartphone, but also movies on your computer or ipad.
In general, I recommend everyone to these wonderful headphones. It’s definitely 5 stars. If they break, I will buy again.

Advantages: Very light, good sound, flexible handle (you can crumple and put in your pocket), charging from microUSB, protection from moisture and sweat.

Disadvantages: The set volume level does not affect the volume of the sound alert, non-informative indication of the charge level, not enough buttons.

Comment: The best sports headset I've ever heard. Despite the low weight and small size - it holds the charge for a long time (6-8 hours) and the sound is quite good, including the bass. I like the flexible design very much: you can easily put it in your pocket or bag without fear of damaging the bow.
Despite the fact that it is positioned as a headset for running, running with it in urban environments is problematic: almost every car passing by muffles the sound of the headset, even at full volume. Although the park volume is enough. Another of the shortcomings: sound alerts (signals and messages such as "Power on", "Headphones connected", etc.) are always reproduced at a minimum volume level, therefore, in the presence of noise sources, they simply cannot be heard. The level of remaining charge in the application on the phone is displayed in hours and minutes (with reference to the talk mode), and it has only 5 values: 8 hours, 7 hours 30 minutes, 5 hours 45 minutes, 3 hours 15 minutes and 1 hour, which is approximately Corresponds to the levels "full", "high", "medium", and "low". That is, you can see "3 hours and 15 minutes left", and a minute later - "1 hour left" and after that the headset will work for another two hours in the talk mode. It can be confusing at first. Also everywhere (including on the manufacturer’s website and on the box) it says “Memory for 8 devices” and “simultaneous work with two devices” - in fact, there is neither one nor the other. Inconveniently done volume reduction: you need to hold the volume up button for half a second. The underexposed - the volume, on the contrary, increased. Overexposed - decreased by several steps at once. Especially annoying at sudden drops in volume in audio recordings, when you need to quickly turn down the volume (otherwise you will go deaf), but quickly it does not work. The same problem with the transition to the next / previous track.
Despite all of these shortcomings, you quickly get used to them, but in terms of ergonomics, this headset is much better than all the others, so you are very pleased with the purchase.

Advantages: If you really fit your ears, then sit perfectly; sound for these sizes is NOT bad; battery life; moisture protection.

Disadvantages: volume and sound insulation for transport is not suitable, even on the bus you can already hear it so-so, but still it’s sports headphones, and on foot or by bicycle the volume is enough with interest and even with a margin. Not with all devices perfectly keeps in touch.

Comment: I wanted to write that they were sitting perfectly, but after reading the comments I would still say that it is better to check for yourself. I was lucky, I bought without fitting and it came very well, at various times there were several headphones with earhook and these were the only ones I didn’t have to get used to, the ears do not hurt even if I wear it all day, but this is an individual matter.

About the connection - it's not clear. On nexus 5, you can listen to music for hours without problems, despite the fact that in addition to headphones, I have a speed sensor and a smart watch connected. But on nexus 7 it is already impossible to listen - it often stutters. I do not know what exactly is the case, but keep in mind.

Management at first glance, tricky, but easy to get used to. Only be careful if you have large and coarse fingers, not sure that it will be convenient to press small buttons (one of them is responsible for the volume).

Total: you should see for yourself, but if you are looking for sports headphones or just compact wireless ones, then make it a must!

Advantages: The main plus is very comfortable in terms of wearing and operation. Although each concept of comfort individually. Management in a few clicks. As for the sound, there are no complaints at all: the frequencies are balanced, pleasant and comfortable. I tried to find where there is treshak with artifacts, well, there is no zhezh it. Maybe the phone case (on some models, problems with Bluetooth sometimes arise), but this is not a headset problem. Alas, but it is treated by changing the phone. Noise reduction is less, but not jamming everything.

Disadvantages: Cost of

Comment: I use paired with Lenovo and found no hell of hell, although after a number of reviews I was very critical of the headset and tormented the seller for a long time.

Advantages: Convenient management. Fixation. Lungs. Buttons are comfortable. The sound in terms of playing music is quite decent. Chip with light reflectors - not appreciated, it may come in handy.

Disadvantages: I note a small margin in volume. Although rarely put on a maximum - sorry for the membrane.

Comment: Excellent and easy to use thing. Picked up a long and meticulously. Some are not comfortable, others fall out, others are more headsets than headphones, and while running, I just want to run, not work. I tested BackBeat FIT in a rather noisy gymnasium and during jogging, although street classes are not a priority. Everything is almost perfect - mounting, fixing, dimensions. Even the sound is not particularly carp. I agree with previous authors that the cover on the forearm is not designed for all sizes of phones and biceps :). On the other hand, he did not take it for the sake of a cover. And so everything is great - you run, nothing falls out, you cannot beat yourself with a wire.

Advantages: Ergonomics, design, functionality, build quality, autonomy

Disadvantages: Landing sound

Comment: A good product designed for a specific purpose: to diversify the sports activities of your favorite music or audiobook.
The design is very simple, convenient and inspires reliability, light - only 24 grams - it is completely incomprehensible where the battery and microphone are hidden, however, both of them work great. All necessary functions are available: volume control, tracks, reception and reset of a call. There is support for BT 3.0, which is claimed as
Nobody presented complaints about voice quality, although there were such concerns. You should not expect any special sound, but again this goal was not set, for example, I was preparing for the worst and was pleasantly surprised.
Landing in the ears is specific because of the size of the speakers and the material of the ear cushions (lost sight of before ordering), it took a lot of time to get used to and achieve a more or less dense junction. The case for a smartphone is too small, of course, the dimensions ~ 135x75, SGS34 fit without problems, HTC One M8 - no longer, although, of course, you can’t please everyone, it is possible that a larger size would fit the hand, and that "golden mean".
On the Play market there are several applications from the manufacturer, until I checked only the firmware update, again, despite the reviews and concerns, everything works quickly and reliably.
The price could probably be less (now we have 4-4.5k, $ 129 over the hill), but we couldn’t find obvious competitors in either this or the adjacent price ranges. Hesitated between Denon, Sony and Plantronics, in the end, I do not regret the choice.
Verdict: I strongly recommend to purchase.

Advantages: Used in conjunction with the HTC One M7 + Poweramp player. Appointment - music and conversations during sports activities on the street. In general, the key factors of any headset, in my opinion, are two. Convenience (as the possibility of long wearing without discomfort) and, in the case of a stereo headset, sound quality. The convenience of the headset and the earplugs are very subjective. I had a lot of in-ear headphones and, unfortunately, many of them didn’t fit me, including such great “ears” as the IE8 Sunnhaser. I have narrow ear canals, and the headphones inevitably fall out from there, neither the foam on the “plugs”, nor the dozens of different tried-and-tested types of ampsur help. But FIT is definitely the most convenient for me stereo headset used.
Exceptional comfort, after 3 hours of intense roller skating, the headset did not deliver the slightest discomfort, plus for all three hours it did not have to be corrected once (for those who have narrow ear canals, this is an eternal problem; otherwise, the sound quality deteriorates, and sometimes the “plug” generally falls out all the time, especially if it is wet through).
Sound quality. Much depends on the source. The headset is not for gold ear audiophiles, which is already there. The appointment is not that. My One works with the Beats off. Poweramp includes low compensation and a little twisted up low-high. Equalizer is disabled. In this scenario, FIT produces excellent (for the sport headset) bass and generally plays in my opinion absolutely acceptable. But this is taking into account the player Poweramp. For iOS players of a similar level, judging by my attempts to pick up something for Apple tablets, in principle, no. So as I will play on iPhone, I find it difficult to say, I think, you will not wait for a normal bass. The microphone works without problems, if there is no strong wind in the face, even at speed they hear me well.

Disadvantages: The headset itself is almost flawless. But accessories pumped up. Very uncomfortable shoulder case for the phone. My HTC One 4.7 inches squeaks in, 5-inch smarts never fit. But it's not so bad. The cover is two-sided, and the metal zipper lock is not protected on both sides. The manufacturer assumed that the phone retracts into a special protective pocket inside the case, but only a 4-inch iPhone will climb there. Accordingly, the zipper scratches the edge of the smartphone inevitably when opening and closing the cover.
Plus a short mounting tape on the shoulder. Men with normal biceps or full citizens may not approach, my not very swinging arm is worn at the limit, and even then I fasten over the biceps, almost at the delta.

Comment: Additional merits of FIT:
1. Water resistant (well, rather, moisture protection, I would not risk swimming with them). The manufacturer does not give characteristics anywhere in terms of moisture protection according to the IP standard; it is protected from the rain and sweat, but not immersed in water.
2. It is very important for street sports - in contrast to the "liners" there is no isolating effect. With music turned off or at a quiet volume, I calmly talk with friends and hear everything that is happening around me.
3. There are light reflectors.
four.Soft buttons on the "ears" - clicking on the buttons is not accompanied by pain, as in some other headsets.
5. All adjustments (volume, pause, voice dialing) - all on four very convenient buttons on the headset.
6. Excellent voice alerts (residual battery level, connection to the phone). In English, but very clear and understandable.
