About this deal

They have an interesting extra built-in they call ‘Awareness mode’. These are over-ear headphones and also have a very snug fit. They will, therefore, exclude nearly all ambient noise. They are not, do they try to pretend to be, Noise Canceling, it is just a natural extension of their design. I am having the same issue. I won't hit them or whatnot but this is rediculious and way too costly. I wish I had seen this first. Not a happy camper!!! Plantronics provides an app as many companies do these days. Some offer just very basic control adjustments, but this app goes a little further. Whichever colour you opt for, the textured fabric finish and hexagonal interior lining hint – albeit subtly – that these have been designed with sports in mind, though not so much that you’d ever feel self-conscious wearing them outside the gym. As good as the three EQ modes are, it is also quite bizarre that Plantronics decided to limit users to just three preset modes. It would’ve made listening on the 6100 much more enjoyable had we more audio options available to us.

Headphones designed for the gym are relatively common, and there are quite a few to choose from. However, over-ear headphones for the gym are rather unusual. Especially as the design is quite chunky. They are not the only ones, but they do offer a quality that some others don’t match. What mars the 6100’s performance compared to some of the more distinguished competition out there, however, is its generally low volume. Even at max volume, the sound that comes out of it isn’t anything ear-splitting. 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.

Just about every feature you might want shy of active noise-cancellation is here, and most importantly it all delivers. And while there’s no ANC, the passive noise cancellation is good enough to manage a noisy gym and let you make the most of the impressive audio quality. Unlike other on-ear workout headphones that place a painful vice-grip atop your head, Plantronics’ headphones use a novel headband adjustment mechanism that temporarily tightens the fit when you need it. Once you’re done working out, you can release the tension cord and reattach it to the original position for a more comfortable fit. The heights of high fidelity? No, not quite. But a fine, listenable and enjoyable performance? Absolutely. In the 1960s, airline pilot’s headsets were so big and awkward that many pilots reverted to hand-held systems. Courtney Graham, a United Airlines pilot, got together with his friend Keith Larkin, also a pilot who worked for Japanese company Plane-Aids. They designed a small hearing aid like speaker system attached to a lightweight headband.

Plantronics BackBeat FIT 6100 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

The truly wireless age is in full swing in 2019. 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. Same problem here. I bought mine 10 months ago and they suddenly stopped working, they charge, I get the red light and blue light when charging, but that's it, nothing else seems to work. Plantronics won't help me either.The 6100 seems to alleviate that issue with this cord. When secured, will exert resistance and tighten the headphones around your head when you start moving. It’s a simple but effective mechanic, though concerns may be raised about how long this thin band will last before it wears off and snaps after all that tightening.

Plantronics BackBeat Fit 6100 Review - Tech Advisor

No matter what we use, our headphones for the sound they give us is important. And some phones are set up to suit the environment they are designed for. These deliver on a number of fronts but rather surprisingly in one particular area, as we will go into soon. Cameron you are a life saver. Had the same issue, so kept punching the left knob, now it turns on finally. Mine is out of warranty phew!I have this problem that just the left side stops working, the play/pause and volume controls works fine but the earpiece is dead. Any advice? (6 months use) Was there a solution at all? This has just happened to me too. And I’ve only used it twice. Can’t find the receipt. So frustrating. What a rubbish product!!!! If you are looking for fancy designs and stunning aesthetics, you’d better look elsewhere. They look quite ordinary and actually quite bulky. However, there is something very reassuring and mature about understated designs. When you get some kind of outrageous design, it usually sends the wrong message. Having said that, the quality of calls is very good. Should we be surprised about this? Plantronics is essentially a company that designs headsets. They know a thing or two about it, as Neil Armstrong would have confirmed.
