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!

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.

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...

unfortunately the on off button fell out on the first day and has not gone back in properly. How do i go about getting this fixed Everything else about the product is excellent.

Very impressed with the service from Mighty Ape. Fast delivery and the best price in NZ. Very impressed with the headset. Comfortable fit, great sound quality and great ergonomics with the controls. Really happy with it.

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

Continuing my long search for practical exercise-appropriate Bluetooth headphones, I'm having a look this week at the Plantronics BackBeat FIT earphones.

Good sound; comfortable fit; good wearing; reasonable Bluetooth connection

Limited bass; limited noise isolation

The Plantronics BackBeat Fit is an excellent, gym-friendly Bluetooth headphone pair that comes with a handy armband that can hold your phone while you run. It lacks a bit of low-end, but it doesn't distort, and lets just enough sound bleed through to maintain situational awareness.

Rugged, sweat-proof design; Good audio performance; Secure fit doesn't block out external sounds; Includes an armband smartphone case

Uncomfortable after prolonged use; Weak bass
