According to our earbuds expert
With the waterproof Plantronics Backbeat Fit, you can listen to music wirelessly when doing sports. The Bluetooth battery lasts for up to 8 hours. Were you just going to exercise, but the battery is empty? You can recharge your earbuds for 1 hour of use in just 15 minutes. The ear hooks ensure that the earbuds will stay firmly in your ears during your run. The neckband is lightweight and flexible, so you'll barely feel it in your neck. With the buttons on the earbuds, you can control your music and take incoming calls. The reflective finish allows you to exercise safely in the dark when wearing earbuds.

Conclusion Recommended for running, skating, etc., but not for use outside of sports. I use it to run the marathon and for that I want the product to stay in my ears well (without feeling like it is moving or falling out at all) + a good battery is important. The sound is very disappointing. You have to decide for yourself whether you find sound important or comfortable to wear and for what purpose you want to use it (sports or also in the car/on the bike).
Sound quality The sound is disgusting. It can't be loud and you hear the environment very well (this can be nice when a bicycle bell goes off). I use the product for skating/running. With a good wind you even suffer from the wind. You can hear the ambient noise very well. If it's quiet, the sound is fine. In the gym you can hear the music from the gym/others. I find this so disturbing that I no longer use it there (and for that I use another headset that really fits in your ears, but which are less comfortable for running/skating).
wearing comfort It is perfect for skating/running. They stay perfectly in your ears. During fitness it is less comfortable as soon as you move your head more (from left to right) because then the rear edge sometimes wants to stick to the back of your neck. Outside of sports (if you have a jacket / sweater on) it is not good! The back of the product will catch on your jacket, sweater, etc. (and sometimes when you perspire). On the bike I regularly had that when looking to the left/right I pulled the product tight in my ear. The product weighs very little, so you don't realize you're wearing earphones while running. In warm weather you will not be bothered by it (it gets hot around the ears).
Battery The battery lasts for 8 hours and can be charged in 15 minutes. These are pluses. It's annoying when you find out that the battery is empty while you want to go for a run (and 15 minutes of fast charging is doable). 8 hours is also a perfect time, if you are going to run a marathon (and also want music before and after). It is nice that when you put it on you get information about how many hours the battery can last.
Ease of use The service is very pleasant. You can easily go from one song to another (or louder/softer). Putting on the headset just as quickly takes some practice. When I walk to the supermarket, I use another headset that you can put on and take off in a few seconds. I use this headset for running/skating.

I started to annoy myself a bit with the wire hanging against your body while running, so a bluetooth model was the only option. After a long search, this turned out to be one of the few options, because these are one of the few sports earplugs where you can also hear the environment, which I personally find important while running.
I wouldn't buy these earphones especially for the sound quality, it's not bad, but certainly not great either. The bluetooth connection works very well, you can easily be in a different room than your mobile and you can still hear your music just fine. It is also comfortable, it does not fall out while running. A small thing that I do find annoying is that when you land on the floor after taking a step, the earpieces close your ear canal for a while. Which gives you a kind of blinking noise, one seconds you don't hear the car, the other seconds you can. You don't have to expect much from the app, you can do almost nothing with it. You don't even need that app at all.
A few months after the purchase, my left earpiece suddenly started cracking and disturbing. Then I sent it back and got another great support within a week! Now it happened that after a few months I started to have problems again. This time it was the bass that started to crack. But again I got a new one sent home, which I did not expect. So the build quality is not top notch, but if you run into problems, you can just return it. Great support!
Conclusion: The best running earphones, where you can still hear the environment at the moment! However, improvements are still possible.
