Plantronics Backbeat Fit 500 Wireless On-Ear Sport Headphones

We tested the wireless Backbeat Fit 500 sports headphones by Plantronics and found that they offer a great Bluetooth range, an amazing battery life and two layers of water resistance making them a great choice for working out, and all for under $100 – we simply had to put them on our list.

The Backbeat Fit 500 sports headphones come equipped with a P2i coating that handles any rainy run with no problems, when you take into consideration that they also have an IPX2 sweat resistance rating it makes them a perfect partner for indoor and outdoor workouts.

When it comes to connectivity – they come with Bluetooth 4.1 and provide a range of up to 10 meters without dropout or latency issues while playing music this is excellent for a headset at this price. They also pair quickly and are easy to control with logical onset buttons.

With a battery life of 16 – 18 hours on a full charge that takes approximately an hour and a half using a micro-USB cable, these earbuds really are the envy of the competition.

Workout readiness – when we tested Plantronics on-ear wireless Backbeat Fit 500 Headphones we were pleasantly surprised with the level of water resistance. However if your out running in the rain or sweating a lot in the gym they can get a little uncomfortable after an hour or two. But, we feel these earbuds provide all you need for a comfortable workout from quality sound to good passive noise isolation and excellent battery life and connectivity and all at a very reasonable price.
