I like the headset. Bluetooth is a breeze - on Android for me. The build and sound quality is good, range response is even and not overly bass or treble loaded. You can easily hear what's going on around you too which is especially useful if you're riding, running, walking etc but in the gym you...

The BackBeat FIT 305 promises gym-goers a lot but it falls short in the most important set

Great build; 7+ hour battery

Weak bass; Big control module

Plantronics are renowned for quality and this product let's the brand down. Soud quality is good both receiving and broad casting, however the braided cable is uncomfortable, it's stiff and for some reason kinks.

So I bought this one 6 months ago as a replacement for another almost two hundred euros headphone, which broke immediately after I bought it because of a little contact with rain. Hoping that the FIT 500 would live up to its claim of being sweat-proof (also rainproof I hoped). And it did!

I spent quite a long time researching wireless headphones online as I was looking for a quality, light pair for running. I specifically wanted a wireless pair so the cord wouldnu2019t get in the way, and one that would fit my ears (Iu2019m a female in late 20s) and wouldnu2019t have issues with them...

The Plantronics BackBeat Fit Boost Edition offers steady bass and ergonomics but not much else to warrant its high expense.

Flexible; sturdy design; Improved bass response; Good call quality; Portable and waterproof charging pouch

Mids and highs are weak; Inconvenient control setup; No additional ear tips; Too expensive

When it comes to fitness orientated Bluetooth headsets, there's always a bit of sacrifice to be made when it comes to sound quality. Many devices I've tested in the past suffered from this, and while you're out on the road or in the gym, you do get distracted enough not to worry about it.

Awesome sound; sweatproof design; good battery life

Clunky control box that messes with the fit

Love these headphones - these are my second pair. First pair gave me almost three years of solid use both at the gym and on many runs - the longest a pair of sports headphones has ever lasted me. Never fell out, easy to use and a good sound.

Great headphones for running and working out. Sound quality is good and controls are easy to figure out. I lost my previous headphones and immediately re-ordered the same ones.

Great
