Overview Plantronics BackBeat FIT 305 - low-cost Bluetooth-headset for sports

Equipment

In addition to the headphones in the box is case with ear pads and charging microUSB, instruction, documentation - nothing special.

Design

The first thing that catches your eye - a fabric braid wires, due to which the cable looks like a lace from shoes or a hood sweatshirt. These headphones look pretty classic, however, in this decision there is a minus - over time the fabric is soiled and clean it can be difficult. The cable also serves as a reflector.

The main part of the cable into the headphones of our gray, but the one between the remote control and the right earphone - salmon-pink. At FIT 305 has four color modification, three of which differ only by a small portion of the cord. Blue headphones - blue completely.

FIT 305 seem pretty rough, though, and securely made. In a pile of plastic elements visible seams, and the remote is not trying to masquerade as an elegant, slightly thickened portion of the cable. This console. Huge and wide buttons.

Such rudeness FIT 305 to face - they do not look cheap or low quality. It's their shtick.

Ergonomics

Let's start with the principal - with the "ears." The package includes ear cups with petals-braces in three sizes.

The last time I had to test something like that in the headphones Jaybird X3And I am willing to say that Plantronics realize this idea much better. Due to the fact that the spacers are made of a material silikonopodobnogo, not coarse rubber, they are less under pressure on the ear and thanks to the annular shape of the petals are sitting in the ears is not worse. However, such nuances difficult to give an objective assessment, physiology - a purely individual thing.

On the ear cups are depicted channel letters, and headphones have a special notch keys, so the installation of nozzle size will not have problems, and put them on the wrong unlikely. No need to understand something - one of the main advantages of FIT 305.

Button on the tight and hard to respond click under strong pressure. Not the most pleasant experience. But below the panel, center of the cable, there is a non-removable clip - handy accessory that allows you to attach headphones to your clothing or shorten excess cable portion.

The presence of water-resistance for sports headphones - is no longer a bonus, as a rule of etiquette. FIT 305 have IPX5 protection class. This means that they can not be washed under running water, but intense exercise and run around in the rain with FIT 305 - easily.

Control

On the panel are three buttons: volume keys, and the primary (on and responses to calls). Duration of clicks and the number of - different functions. Thus, a certain algorithm pressing the center button will start the pairing mode, and double-click on the "+" include the following track.

Here are the indicator and the microphone hole, and on the side of the - charging socket for a plug.

Pairing occurs rapidly - once is enough to synchronize the device with headphones, then FIT 305 will automatically connect to them at power up. It supports simultaneous connection of two gadgets. All the current events, be it a new pairing, low battery, or the maximum volume of the addition, inform the voice assistant. Additional applications for setting is not required.

Sound

For sound responsible 6mm emitters with solid margin volume. AFC claimed talk about the active range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, but the reality is, as usual, is more complicated. Here are the results test a portal Les Numeriques.

According to the schedule shows that the FIT 305 indecent much bass, there are problems in the lower mid and high frequencies all again very loudly. Features specific and fit for listening to music is not in all styles. But fans of hip-hop, Roland TR-808 Trap and bass should be like.

FIT 305 have inherent good in-ear monitor soundproofed: they hear only the loudest sounds outside. But in the opposite direction it does not work if you are listening to music in the silence surrounding also hear it.

FIT 305 with communication coping fine, however, when planting headphones around neck interlocutor still noticeable that the microphone is an unusual way.

autonomy

Claimed battery life - Six hours in active mode, 10 standby time and up to six months in DeepSleep mode. While we experienced only the first indicator, headphones lasted even longer. Fully charge gain from scratch FIT 305 for about two hours.

Verdict

Subjective, but still figure - almost all of the Plantronics headphones, which were tested in the wording Layfhakera, settled in the hands of employees and in the ears. FIT 305 too cute and comfortable to be an exception.

like BackBeat 500, The FIT 305 does not pretend to be high-end devices, upholstered in a cozy niche of high-quality headphone at an affordable price. They are far from being a premium design and maximum sound subjective, but among his headphones price range they are clearly in the lead. Price of Russian stores in the FIT 305 starts at about 5000 rubles.
