Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 stereo Bluetooth headset review: Improved sound -- and now water-resistant

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).

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

The lightweight; reasonably priced Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 wireless stereo headset improves upon the Go 1; with better sound quality and a sweatproof design; The step-up BackBeat Go 2 + Charging Case 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).

However, you can get a pair of comfortable in-ear earphones with very good mid- and high-end sound quality. The Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 are the follow-up to last year's Editors' Choice BackBeat Go($95.99 at Amazon), and at $79.99 without a charging pouch or $99.99 with a charging pouch, they offer an even better value and an incremental upgrade over the previous model. DesignThe BackBeat Go 2($28.99 at Amazon) is nearly physically identical to the original Backbeat Go with a few small changes. It's still a pair of earbuds on a short, flat, tangle-free cable with an in-line remote and microph...

The Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 stereo Bluetooth headset is a small but welcome upgrade to the previous BackBeat Go, and offers a great value despite its light bass output.

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

Weak bass; Microphone picks up street noise
