My initial music playback experience was not good. Check out our Holiday Gift Guide for the Active Person on your list HERE While I was able to be heard, apparently the static was enough for the other person to ask me not to speak with them for long periods of time if I was going to use the earbuds. In addition, I got lots of complaints of “static noise” when making phone calls and was told it sounded like I was on a walkie-talkie. It was enough where I was concerned upon stepping out in the NYC streets that I couldn’t fully hear any potential hazards. Anyone that was talking to me I had to ask to speak up repeatedly. Though these models mention that “The unique ear-tip design doesn’t fully block the ear canal, letting in ambient sound…”, I experienced a significant muffle of sounds from the outside world. The earbuds remained secure on my runs and while riding a scooter around town. To increase stability they wrap around your ears versus just being plugged into your ear canal which was a huge plus. I’m happy to say that the earbuds are lightweight, sturdy, and are incredibly comfortable. It’s also a nice touch that every time you power on the earbuds you’re greeted with a voice that provides a status of the current battery level. Thankfully, the earbuds were fully charged and the case itself had about 75% charge, so I was able to use them straight away.
BACKBEAT FIT WATERPROOF SERIES
Inside the center of the case is a power button that, when pressed, triggers a series of lights that indicate the battery level. That said, the case does zipper shut to add more security and has a tiny internal pocket for that tiny microUSB cord. While it felt good in hand, the case is a bit too big to fit comfortably in the average pocket without it looking silly. The case is covered in a smooth matte black material with a shiny ”PLT” stamped on the front. Right out of the box, you get the Backbeat Fit 3150 earbuds, which are housed in a somewhat bulky, yet functional charging case and a short, 1.5-inch micro-USB charging cable.
The BackBeat FIT 3150, released Fall 2019, retails for $149.99 and is billed as true wireless sport earbuds. The Plantronics BackBeat FIT 3150 boasts 24 hours of power, durable, and can withstand rain and sweat for an active lifestyle.
