Review on 🎧 Black Plantronics BackBeat FIT 500 Wireless On-Ear Sport Headphones with P2i's Sweat-Resistant Nano-Coating Technology by Timothy Barnes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really good wireless headphones with headband issues

For the price (I paid Β£80 for it at the time) these are very good wireless headphones. The physical controls are intuitive and easily accessible (a big plus). Feels very light - I've used them mostly in the gym but occasionally at home with chores. The sound quality is good and the microphone quality is also surprisingly good, at least I didn't have any complaints during the call. A major downside is the design of the headband. Mine broke after 6 months of normal use. At one point I put the headphones on as usual, but when I stretched them on my head I heard a small crackle. I didn't think anything of it until I noticed it was becoming very loose and slipping on my head. I don't think I have a big head and my other wireless headphones have never had this issue so it's hard to say what caused it. Plantronics helped me with the warranty process and sent me a brand new pair but it's a little smaller than it is now and the headband broke again. This time I probably won't do another warranty cycle and throw it in the donation box. TLDR: Very good wireless earphones, especially for the gym and outdoor activities. Doesn't cancel out too much sound, so keep that in mind. If you think you have a big head, it's possible the bandage will deteriorate and tear over time.

Pros
