The verdict

Proper workout headphones are hard to find: oftentimes they’re too bulky and heavy to wear during vigorous workouts. Plantronics remedies this with its lightweight Backbeat Fit 6100, which are supremely more comfortable than the company’s on-ear workout headset. If you can forgive the microUSB charging input and sporadic static-noise output, these are a surprisingly good buy.
