In terms of battery life, the Backbeat FIT 505 lasted around 20 hours or 18-hours as stated by Plantronics. Although there is no noise cancellation employed by the headphones, the over the hear ear cups do provide some buffer from the sounds of the real-world.Īdditionally, they are quite comfortable to wear and during my workouts, sweat did not become an issue and they can be easily adjusted to fit your head and ears, not to mention quite lightweight… also my head didn’t get too warm wearing them. Not that you want to listen to your music too loud but the Backbeat FIT 505 can be quite loud if needed with minimal distortion and the bass was good.
