plantronics fit 300 500Today, Plantronics made its latest innovations targeted for the fitness crowd available to all.  Say hello to the BackBeat Fit 300 & BackBeat Fit 500 series as a part of their Active Lifestyle collection to handle any workout or everyday stuff.  

Plantronics BackBeat Fit 300The BackBeat Fit 300 is the lightest Bluetooth earbuds out right now weighing in at only 14 grams.  Along w/ being lightweight & sweatproof, you got a low-friction cloth cable, secure ear tip fit, 6 hours of battery life, and a 33ft Bluetooth range.  We've been using these for about a little bit and they sound as amazing as you would expect from Plantronics.  Good bass for the size of these earbuds and a great balance of mids & highs.  

Plantronics BackBeat Fit 500The Backbeat Fit 500 is more or less a more fitness-focused version of the Backbeat 500 series - which is a great thing.  We already dubbed them 'the best $80 Bluetooth headphones' and now they offer better protection against sweat w/ a sweat-resistant coating& memory foam earcups to better block out the noise.  You got 18 hours of battery life, 40mm drivers, & 33ft Bluetooth range to make this more of a complete package.  

And lastly, they unveiled new add-ons for the original BackBeat Fit earbuds in the form of Boost & Training Editions.  The Training Edition offers unlimited access to 12 PEAR Personal Coaching workouts & 6 months of PEAR+ access.  The Boost Edition offers that too plus an IPX5-water resistant charging pouch that adds an extra 10 hours of juice and a quick-drying sports mesh pouch as well.  

The Fit 300 will cost you $80, the Fit 500 will cost you $100, the Fit Training Edition $130, and the Fit Boost Edition $160.  The Fit 300 series & Fit Boost Editions are available now while the Fit 500 & Training Edition are set to arrive next month.
