Review on Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 Bluetooth Earbuds - White - Retail Packaging for Enhanced Wireless Stereo Experience by Brent Saake

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Heavily distorted sound, not suitable for my ears.

I got BackBeat GO 2 bluetooth headphones after trying Beats Powerbeats 2 (they sounded great but kept dropping out - update: I tried another pair of Powerbeats 2 and they work great) ). They were easy to load. I was only expecting a USB charging cable, but the included power adapter was a pleasant surprise. The red light on the headphones turned white (I think) when the battery was charged. Connecting BackBeat GO 2 to my iPhone 6 was easy. I saw the earbuds on my iPhone and selected them to pair. Then I tried them on and that was the end of the party. They were just uncomfortable - too big for my ears. I didn't like the sound either. At about half volume, the sound was severely distorted. I didn't expect great sound, but for me it wasn't even in the acceptable range. These were the last pair of Bluetooth in-ear headphones on my list that I tried. I'll stick with my authentic and reliable Etymotic wired in-ear headphones. They won't be as portable, but hopefully won't fail and sound good! Maybe the new Parrot Zik 2.0?
