They're not high-end audio headphones, but the BackBeat Fit still provide a very solid, lightweight option for athletic types who want music while they work out. If they can handle the sweat that pours off my skull every time I go out for a run, they can...

Using the Plantronics BackBeat Fit was a love/hate relationship. Battery wise and comfort wise they are great, volume wise, not so much. Due to injury, I'm restricted to the Gym at the moment, I can't do that much jogging which the BackBeat Fit is more su...
Well built; Very flexible; Light; Great sound; Comfy to wear; They don't fall out, which is always a good thing for runners; Reflector paint built into the band; Comes with a small arm band for your smartphone;

While the controls can be a bit of a pain sometimes, the audio is really what interests us, and in that category Plantronics has done a fantastic job, providing stellar sound amidst reasonably solid comfort.If anything, these might get us running more. Re...

I'm not a gym junkie, in case that wasn't apparent already, so I'm not exactly the target market for the Backbeat Fit. Still, there's a good offering to be had here, with solid if not exceptional audio quality, decent battery life and an armband thrown in...
