Comfortable. Lightweight. Excellent voice quality and noise suppression in both directions. Tangle-free cord really works. Clear midrange and high-end when listening to music.
The editors didn't like
Music playback quality is decent
But not amazing – exhibited highs
But the low end is lacking
Battery life isn't great (4.5 hours)
Buttons on the inline remote are small
And the LED that indicates when the device is on or in pairing mode is tiny.
No carrying case included unless you buy the BackBeat Go 2 + Charging Case ($20 more)
Ultra-soft earbud tips make it difficult to get the right fit. Some cable thump when walking. Thin bass response
Abstract: Going wireless usually involves some level of compromise and with Bluetooth earphones like anything else, it's a question of whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Does the convenience of cutting the cord trump the potential downside of a Blueto...

Abstract: Pairing the device with an iPhone, iPad, and even a computer was fairly easy. After activating pairing on the headset and turning on the iPhone's Bluetooth, simply selecting the device paired the two. The connection remained solid even with the phone in a...
Abstract: What we’ve got here today is a pair of earbuds that do not plug into your smartphone – they connect entirely with Bluetooth. This unit is the BackBeat GO from Plantronics, a pair of earbuds which act wirelessly in every way, containing their own rechar...

Abstract: Bluetooth headphones have a whole bunch of advantages – mostly that there's no headphone cable to tie itself in Gordian-beating knots — but one thing they sure aren't is cheap. That's why we've corralled together the best budget Bluetooth headphones going...

Excellent antenna performance with few drop-outs; Very small and convenient;
Battery life could be better; Buds pop out of the ear quite frequently;
This isn’t the first stereo headset attempt by Plantronics, and we remember the previous BackBeat earphones fondly. However, in this instance, the company has almost nailed the formula, providing decent audio quality, a tiny size, and a fairly competi...
Convenient wireless design. Easy to use. Audio is fine for calls
Sound over Bluetooth is too flat for multimedia
The BackBeat Go headphone set is fine for use as a hands-free accessory, but we can't recommend it for music playback over cheaper, wired alternatives....
