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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

one of the best

I have a drawer full of different Bluetooth headsets, for me it's something like a shoe closet. I found it to be one of the best and a definite improvement over its predecessor. After a secure fit, they sound very good, if not quite as good as Jaybird's Bluebuds x or Freedom Sprints. Like everyone else, it comes down to getting such a good fit. The Freedom Sprints are the model that has given me the most consistent and secure fit during training, and while the bludbud x sounds better, the design change has had a negative impact on my fit. Plantronics is in between on the fit scale, I have one side of my head I just can't hold them on when I start sweating, but I like the weight so I go to them quite often. Since they don't have an extra strap clip like the bluebud x, this becomes a problem and can also interfere with training. In the end the Bluebud X is a great set but for me the fit was terrible during workouts so the half price Plantronics were the best buy for me. Battery life was great and it was a consideration not to go back to freedom sprints. I wish the charging case was available separately on Amazon, I bought mine before the combo was offered. But in general they fit me well, the lightness is excellent and the sound is impressive for a training device. Fit is so subjective from person to person that it's impossible to recommend one. What suits me well will suit you terribly. Finally, find a good return policy, start experimenting, and have a good time with the different attachment methods of each set. designed for it.
