Plantronics rates battery life to be a solid 18 hours, but your results will vary with your volume levels. Plugging it in puts the headphones in passive mode, which is useful, but you'll need to control all playback and track navigation on your mobile device itself, and there's no mic to field calls in this mode.Īlong with the two cables, you get a gray drawstring protective pouch, which is rather large (and necessary, since the headphones don't fold into themselves for compact storage, though the earcups do swivel to a flat position). The audio cable lacks an inline remote control, which is a bit of a bummer. The mic has a crisp, clear quality, and while there are hints of audio artifacts here and there, it's a mostly clean sound that is far clearer than a typical Bluetooth headphone mic. Using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 6s, we could understand every word we recorded. The built-in mic offers above-average intelligibility. (Opens in a new window) Read Our JBL Reflect Fit Review

Internally, each earcup houses a 40mm driver behind its cloth grilles. An orange cloth logo tag is attached to the headband near the right earcup. Plantronics mixes faux-leather coverings with matte rubber materials and a cool geometric contour on the top of the headband for a modern look. Offered in black, gray, khaki, or navy, the BackBeat Go 600's circumaural (over-the-ear) design is quite comfortable, even over long listening sessions, thanks to generous cushioning in the large memory foam earpads and on the underside of the headband. There's little to complain about, other than the fact that they are slightly upstaged by another Plantronics model, the BackBeat Fit 500, which offer a moisture-resistant, gym-friendly design for the same price. At $99.99, the headphones deliver solid quality across the board, with strong audio performance, a comfortable fit, and exceedingly easy controls. We've long been fans of Plantronics' BackBeat line of Bluetooth headphones, and it has a strong new option in the form of the Backbeat Go 600.
