About this deal

Her love story with Android started in 2009 and has been going stronger with every update, device, tip, app, and game. It handles jogging, bench and machine reps, and sweat fine — though I'm not too much of a gym rat to test extreme exercises and circumstances. Pull this down and you can latch it, tightening the bands’ fit to help keep the headphones in place during your sets – and conversely, undo it to loosen the clamping feeling to make things more comfortable for everyday use.

Plantronics BackBeat FIT 6100 review - SoundGuys

The new over-ear headphone set is among one of four new wireless audio peripherals released by Plantronics, alongside the BackBeat FIT 3200, 3150, as well as the RIG 700HD. While geared towards workouts, Project Rock is pretty competent as an all around set of headphones for commutes and the gym. On the interior side of the headband is a hexagonal quilted pattern; this helps the headphones grip to the head without relying on hair-pulling rubberized material.Available in black, camo, or gray models, the headphones feature comfortable memory foam earcups that passively block out surrounding noise. They are designed for the workout, but they are not going to let you down or look out of place on the daily commute. When you pull it out and extend it to the max, it tightens the band around your head to avoid it bobbing around while you run, jump, or squat. Outside noise can really get in the way of a good listening experience because of auditory masking, which is the natural way that your brain perceives sound. But then last week they failed to power on, despite the battery being 100% full (blue LED after charging for a couple hours).

However, its inherent lack of a carrying case or pouch may put you off, especially if you’re carrying it with other items on your person. These bone-conduction headphones feature an IP67 rating, which means they are not only sweat-resistant but also highly resistant to dust and water. My temp fix is to lightly tap the left earbud against something hard in the hopes that this action will dislodge it. As is the case with almost every pair of headphones, a good fit is essential for keeping the bad sounds out and the good sounds in. The inclusion of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) enhances audio quality, optimizing sound reproduction.

During the bridge (2:02), the drummer’s cymbal hits are hard to discern over the kick drum and even Stone’s melodic whistling.

Backbeat Fit 6100 User Guide - Poly

A hexagonal pattern adorns its underside, for stability, and the entirety of the cushion is perforated for breathability. Plantronics lists a 24-hour battery life for the BackBeat FIT 6100; our testing yielded great results: 26 hours, 49 minutes of playtime on a single charge. I'd even say that lows are a little boosted for my liking, but if you prefer much more thumping in your music to uplift you while exercising, you can switch to the Bass mode and enjoy that. Also on the right earcup, there's a power/Bluetooth switch, and a physical button for the ambient mic feature, which allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the headphones. The BackBeat FIT 6100 comes with an IPX5 rating, which means it can withstand sweat and is suitable for workouts.And from what we’d gleaned from our month-long use of it, the 6100’s mic is honestly nothing to be impressed about. Whether for sports activities or everyday use, the BackBeat FIT 6100 offers convenience and versatility. For orchestral tracks, like the opening scene from John Adams' The Gospel According to the Other Mary, the lows sound a bit too booted in Balanced mode, so you can imagine how they sound in Bass mode.
