Plantronics - BackBeat FIT 2100

My second pair of cans from HeaphoneZone!

Delivery was delayed by a day(estimated vs actual).

The pair which I received from HeadphoneZone had a faulty battery(~2-2.5 hours instead of the advertised 6-7 hours). Back to this later. The sound signature is balanced, and the music which I listen to(instrumental, rock, metal) sounds perfect through these! And the most important upside of these earphones is not the sound isolation, but the lack of it.

I'm an athlete. Road runner, in particular. So the presence of ambient noise while running is definitely a boon. In addition to that, the fit, once you find your adjustment, is perfect. It doesn't move in your ears while running, and the neckband, made of rigid rubber, doesn't move either; irrespective of how slow or fast you run, which wasn't the case with any other earphones I've owned.

Now, back to the battery issue.

I was in a quandary about whether to return these cans or claiming the warranty. I chose the latter. I reached out to Plantronics Service in India over a phone call, explained the issue. The technician, one Mr. Bhupender, listened to my entire issue very patiently, registered the complaint, stated that Warranty can be claimed, and directed me to the nearest service center(Rashi Peripherals).

Submitted my earphones, got new ones issued in 4 working days. No battery issues with the new one. Same audio and other features.
