Plantronics BackBeat Fit

Sponsored Review

As a self-proclaimed runner at the age of 42, running doesn’t come as easy as 1-2-3. To help in the motivation factor to run, I realized that music plays a big part. I used to think that running with music is not something I would like. How can I hear the traffic? What if someone calls out to me? Can I hear??

In comes the BackBeat Fit wireless earphones.

First thing first, why wireless? This is a no-brainer for me. I cannot imagine running with tangling wires all over the place. With wireless earphones, the problem is solved and running is more pleasant.

Unpacking the earphones, and I have the red version. It comes in blue and neon green colors too.

 

The earphones come in a sleek pouch that holds the charging cable.

 

Turn the pouch inside-out and you get the double use as a reflective running armband.

Battery life is 2.5 hours charge for 7 hours use. I realized for a 10km run, typically I can use the earphones for about 6 runs, pretty close to the estimated given battery life.

Download the BackBeat Fit App and follow through the easy steps to register your earphones and even set up the link to find your earphones when you misplaced it.

  

 

Putting on the earphones was simple and easy, no difficulty. Tried calling out to my wife with siri and the earphones worked perfectly. We can hear each other clearly and no disturbance. I’m a happy man if my wife can hear me.

 

One of the best feature of the earphone and I have successfully recommended to at least 4 of my friends so far, is the contoured eartips which allows the wearer to hear your surroundings. This is extremely crucial for me as I prefers to run at night and with my old earphones, I usually cannot hear the surrounding traffic or even the bicycle just behind me. This usually resulted in me hooking on only one side of my previous earphones.

But with BackBeat Fit, the safety aspect is well taken care of.

 

With at least 4-5 runs with the new earphones around my neighborhood, I took the earphones for a real test in the recent 10km race I have signed up for. This is the first time I am listening to music on a long run.

The earphones are nicely tugged in my ears and you can hardly see it from the front view. My before and after look with the earphones.

 

Points noted:

#1 the earphones didn’t move much at all, I did not have to adjust or was afraid that it will fall out.

#2 as you can see after the run, I was sweating crazy but there was no issues with the sound quality.

#3 I was totally aware of my environment when running, I could hear the heavy steps of the runner that was about to overtake me, and allowed me to keep to my side and not bang into him.

#4 related to the point above, I was still able to enjoy my music without having to adjust the volume.

Now, the earphones are the first thing I look out for in the morning when I leave the house for work or at night when I go for a run. Totally loving it!

Product Review

When we first received the BackBeat GO 2 earbuds, the product manager did mention that he is not looking for tech reviews. Plantronics is more interested to know how will the earbuds change or enhance our lifestyle.

In my previous review (http://jbabiesdad.blogspot.sg/2013/11/on-go.html), I mentioned about how the wireless earbuds have changed some of my living styles, so in this post I would then talk about how the earbuds have brought much fun and bonding for me and my daughters.

Joey loves to read. But I hardly have the chance to read together with her. So with a single cable ‘tying’ us together, we have to sit together, each reading our own book and at the same time listen to our favourite music. The length of the cable is just nice for both of us, not having to worry we may pull out each other’s earbud or too much excess cable to distract our movements.

Have to say, this is such a great idea! Firstly, I managed to have some quiet and peace at home. Secondly, I was able to catch up on my own reading for the longest time. Looking at this photo, I can finally understand why so many people say Joey looks like me =)

With Jayne, since she can’t really read yet, the best thing to do with her was accompanying her to watch her favourite YouTube clips. Recently, I introduce her some SNSD music videos and she really like Gee and My Oh My. Like father like daughter =p

With the flat cable design, it enables us to enjoy our videos and move along with the music without worrying getting tangle.

Product Review

Alright, this is the first review post I am writing on the latest wireless earbuds, Plantronics BackBeat GO 2. So far I have been using it for about a month. Bringing it along to everywhere I went. My life has never been the same ever since I had this amazing gadget. Listening to music is no longer a hassle in places I would never have thought possible. Here is my list.

Gym Workout
Finally I can listen to my favourite music while doing my training. Without the troublesome cables in front, I can feel totally safe to concentrate on the weights and not about accidentally pulling off my earphones. And with the wireless feature, I am not worried that I would accidentally pull the cords and pull the phone out from my pocket. Perfect!

 

In the pool
Had a chance to bring the family out to Legoland Water Park just a few weeks back and it was an excellent opportunity to test out the Sweat Proof / Water-resistant feature. Worked like a true beauty! Especially when we were just floating along the lazy-river, it was indeed a lazy-afternoon enjoying both the sun and the music. No problem with the splashing water around me too.

 

On the way to work
One thing I realised while wearing the BackBeat GO 2 on my way to work, I am no longer bothered by the tangling cable in front of me when I have my bag on my lap. This is extremely convenient especially when I carry a bigger laptop backpack and with BackBeat GO 2, I can comfortably enjoy my ride and also my music. Excellent!

As you can see, I am really a person who moves quite a lot. Hence, the wireless feature BackBeat GO 2 is offering is definitely my number one reason for recommending it. And along with the active lifestyle, the Sweat Proof feature was also tested and proven. I even took the challenge given by the Product Manager and rinse my earbuds under running water to get rid of the sweat after one of my running night. Hey, it is still working well!

Another feature that stood the test was the Tangle-Free feature. With its flat cable design, the coiling up and keeping in the pouch was done without much hassle. And one of the coolest thing about this product is the pouch, because it is not just an ordinary earbuds pouch, but it is a charging pouch.

With the 4.5 hours non-stop playtime on the BackBeat GO 2, it is usually more than enough for daily usage if you are just using it during your commuting from home to work and back. However, if you decide to use it in between like during a gym session (approx. 1.5 hours), then the charging pouch comes in handy. Charging becomes so much easier without having to constantly find a wall plug. Blessing!

Plantronics BackBeat GO 2

Teaser

Are you a on-the-go person? Do you love music? I ticked both boxes. So I was more than thrilled when the chance was presented for me to try out the latest Plantronics wireless earbuds, BackBeat GO 2.

It was even more appealing since the previous earphone I had was a normal wired one. I can only start to imagine the convenience in having a wireless earbuds that fits my rather active lifestyle.

In the coming one month, I will be putting the earbuds to the test. Will it enhance the quality of my life as it so promotes? Are the claims true? Is it really Sweat Proof? Tangle Free? Is the audio up to the mark? All these and many more queries will hopefully be answered along the way.

I hope you will join me in this journey to unbox the Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 wireless earbuds. Check out the official hashtag for this product review: #sgBackBeatGO2
