Review on ๐ŸŽง Black Plantronics BackBeat FIT 350 Wireless Headphones - Stable, Ultra-Light, Sweatproof Earbuds for Workouts by Rick Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprisingly good quality and durability

I bought these to use for indoor erg rowing. We needed something wireless, affordable and with decent sound. Not for stooping, but I used the Shure SE425 set when paddling as the soundproofing and quality is perfect for learning. However, the cable has always bothered me and there hasn't been a reliable bluetooth accessory that iem could use to go wireless. So I bought Plantronics based on the good reviews from Revain. They connect to my Galaxy S8 with no problems. A short cord wraps around the neck and can be secured with a strong clip if desired. The controls behind the right edge are fairly easy to access, and the button shape makes it easy to use while paddling. In terms of dynamics, I can't disagree with the sound quality for the price. It honestly surprised me so no complaints as it's pretty good. IEM inserts are ok. They do feel a little loose at times since they don't have the expanding foam feel you get with Shure or other items, but that's not bad. The rubber slightly seals the ear canal and those little rubber loops keep them in place most of the time. Once in place, I don't usually have to fiddle with them. In terms of charging, I think they can last around 4-5 hours with constant use. I row 3-4 times a week for 30-60 minutes per workout and need to charge them every 5-6 rows or 7-10 days. Paying is not a problem. Finally, I bought another pair for our daughter who rides regularly (dressage). If there's anyone who knows about this type of gear, it's her. Riding is tough and sweaty and I was surprised at how much she liked them and how well she said they work in her helmet and while riding. The charge in her suitcase is sometimes short as she has to charge them every 3-4 days as she drives once a day but other than that these are the only headphones she took care of. She connects to them via an Apple iPhone.
