Good but not the best
I’d another version of these. The flexible over ears one. A better product I feel. Best feature is the clip on the wire you can attach to your collar, shirt and so on. Battery life not so great. Wire is also quite stiff. The controller ( attached to the right ear ) isn’t where I’d like it, as it’s a small rectangular box with volume up at the top, down at the bottom and just above the down is the small answer button ( square ), mute button. Just faces the wrong way for me. I’d like it at the back so when I put my hand up it’s at my thumb, but if faces forward usually so I’m pulling it around. Still not a bad headphone set. Been using this a while now. Down point. I'm using this in work, the workshop. It's handy being able to put the headsets around your neck, out of your ears. PROBLEM. It mutes your phone, so, unless they're in your ears notification for messages are missed. A phone call can still be heard from the earphones simply because they're near enough to hear and the tone prolonged enough. Not so with a message. My other Backbeat ones didn't do this.

Disappointing
I bought these to replace an old pair of Soundcore bluetooth earphones.One plus is that you can pair to 2 devices at once and the sound is picked up from the device that's active.Sadly they don't have magnets and you HAVE to use a clip to keep them in place, but that's my fault for not checking.However, the battery life has always been lacklustre, and certainly no better than the earphones I was replacing.But a month after I bought them, the rubber cover over the volume up/down/answer buttons started peeling off because it has swollen through use. These haven't seen hard exercise, just wear around the house.Edit - I forgot that these have a massively annoying “Full Volume” announcement which blasts through whenever they connect to a different app. If you are listening to Youtube and you swap to Facebook - “Full volume”. You switch back - “Full volume”, etc. This is incredibly annoying and just for that behaviour I have docked another star.I really wouldn’t buy another pair of these earphones.

Wireless headphones that are actually worth it
I bought a pair as a present for my wife when she took up running. I spent ages looking through reviews of wireless headphones and there always seemed to be problems with them. These actually had consistently good reviews, and she's been very happy with them. When my own pair of wired headphones died I bought a pair of these for myself and have also been really impressed. My only issue with them is the little plastic broke for me, I think I lay down at the wrong angle and it snapped immediately. She's has hers much longer and not had any problems.

Good sound
Good sound and fit for purpose, just takes a little getting use to with the buds

Great. Especially for the price.
Plantronics have real pedigree in audio and these are excellent. Especially what I paid for them on Amazon. They're not as good as the as the Backbeat Fit 2100 but there isn't much in it. Highly recommended.

Amazing!
Absolutely brilliant! Arrived quickly and precharged so was able to pair and use straight away. Sturdy with an expensive feel and extremely comfortable to wear. I struggle to find comfortable earphones as I have very small ear cannals but these are great and come with different sizes to suit. The sound is lovely and rich. These are definitely worth the money. Couldn't be happier. 😊

Work out earphones
Bought these after much deliberating over what style and brand.Eventually settled on the Plantronics this particular style due to the ear phone bud.I have ran and worked out in these and they are good. They fit, sit well and the sound is good. Would definitely recommend and buy again.
