They aren't the best sounding, but the Plantronics Backbeat Go 2 are one of the best options for inexpensive wireless earbuds.

Decent sound considering the price; Optional charging case drastically improves usefulness

Battery life is just plain bad; Bass isn't anything to write home about

When I reviewed the original Plantronics BackBeat Go stereo Bluetooth headset back in 2012, I said it was easy to see how the product could be improved and that the next version of the BackBeat Go would be better and easier to recommend for what it cost ($79.99).

The lightweight; reasonably priced; wireless stereo headset improves upon the Go 1; with better sound quality and a sweatproof design; The step-up; includes a protective case that has a built-in battery for charging on the go

Battery life isn't great (4.5 hours); no carrying case included unless you buy the BackBeat Go 2 + Charging Case ($20 more)

While its short battery life keeps it from true greatness, the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 is a superior wireless Bluetooth in-ear headphone.

Buying an audio product requires balancing your priorities for sound quality and price. If you can spend a lot on a pair of headphones , they're probably going to sound great (with certain distinctions between the models).

Useful design touches; Inexpensive, even with optional battery charging pouch; Solid midrange and high-end response

Weak bass; Microphone picks up street noise

I suspect that anyone that gave these headphones a good rating must have been using a different product. First, the sound quality is thin and shrill, especially on calls. If you are looking for volume to drown out conversation or street noise, move on.

Thin; shrill sound and useless for calls out in public

I ordered these headphones to use at my work, and let me tell you they work great. On a full charge they will last for a little over 4 hours with no pause. I was spending over $40 a month on the cord earbuds. The dang wires would get twisted and the right ear would go out.

I've owned a few BT headsets in the past and these are by far the best ones so far. Overall sound is enjoyable, and the bass is never wholly lost - even in windy environments. They won't trump wired sets like the aforementioned Ety's, but what do you expect for ￡67!

Fast pairing process; Light; Great noisecancellation; Great sound output

Earpiece isn't the best design; Vibrations heard when the wire is hit/tapped against

ordered believing they are new, received today and both are refurbished. misleading item description. Already emailed seller : TechWrold to start a return. will update.

Improved audio quality; Inline controls provide much better tactility; Charging case is a nice extra
