However, if you wear glasses like I do, there is a downside. I used them during my strength workouts at the gym and my runs outside and I never had a problem. There's no way the earbuds will fall off during any kind of activity. It doesn't feel too tight, the fit is comfortable. The 3200s are lightweight and the earloops are soft and flexible. The process was simple and easy to understand, but I had recurring issues connecting to the app (which will be discussed later on). It also comes with simple instructions to activate the headphones and connect them to your phone. When you receive the product, you get the black zippered charging case, a tiny USB charging table and three different sizes of ear tips. In most cases, we’ve found that we didn’t even need the open mic function, as it doesn’t really do much to help our situational awareness in general.The 3200s arrive in either a black or teal option, with green reflective earbuds.

Its usefulness is middling, to say the least, as it does pick up a good deal of sound when you’re lowering your volume, but is totally drowned out when you’re blasting music. Its design is intended to increase your situational awareness when you’re out and about with the 6100 on. What this does is, when activated, it activates an in-built mic in the headphones, allowing for environmental sound to seep into the audio drivers. There’s a button to toggle it on the right earcup, as well as on the BackBeat app. Speaking of going out in public, the 6100 comes equipped with an open mic function.

However, there seems to be a considerable amount of sound leakage when you put it on, so you might want to exercise some caution when blasting music from it in public. Even at max volume, the sound that comes out of it isn’t anything ear-splitting. What mars the 6100’s performance compared to some of the more distinguished competition out there, however, is its generally low volume. Whether you’re playing EDM, metal or even classical music, the output is generally crisp all around, thanks to its 40mm speaker drivers, which are angled such that you’re getting the most out of your sound. It does help that its BackBeat companion app does allow touch controls to be disabled, but it’s bizarre that you’re only allowed to do so for a set amount of time, and not indefinitely, especially if you don’t want to bother with touch controls at all.Īs for audio output, the BackBeat FIT 6100 is a relatively solid peripheral, with an emphasis on bass-centric audio. Priced at US$180, the 6100 is designed specifically for consumers who prefer a general-use set of wireless headphones with touch controls that can suit virtually any scenario, be it exercise, commute, or even in the work environment. 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. Some of their more recent releases have all been using wireless Bluetooth, and the Plantronics BackBeat FIT 6100 is no exception to that.

The US-based audio company has put out their own slew of superb audio equipment over the years to cater to both consumers and professionals, at relatively affordable prices. Plantronics certainly has been keeping abreast of current tech trends.

Sure, a lot of us still rely on the consistency of wired audio equipment, but with the improvements in Bluetooth technology over the years, the demand for more wireless peripherals has increased exponentially.
