What you need to know

  • Plantronics has released four new pairs of wireless headphones all for under $200.
  • The BackBeat FIT 3150, BackBeat FIT 3200, and BackBeat PRO 5100 are the three truly wireless models.
  • The BackBeat FIT 6100 is an over-the-ear fitness pair of headphones.

Plantronics has begun making a name for themselves in the headphone arena over the past few years with its BackBeat family of headphones. Now, the company is releasing a new lineup of BackBeat wireless headphones including four different models all coming in at under $200.

First up, we have the new BackBeat FIT models including the BackBeat FIT 3150 and BackBeat FIT 3200. The BackBeat 3150 is the follow up to last year’s 3100 series, and features Always Aware ear tips, which allow ambient noise in for runners looking to stay aware of their surroundings.

The BackBeat 3150 are also sweatproof with an IP57 waterproof rating and boast up to 24 hours of listening time with the included charging case.

The BackBeat 3200 are nearly identical to the 3150s with IP57 waterproofing, similar ear hook design, and 8 hours of listening time with 16 additional hours including the case. The big difference between the two is the BackBeat FIT 3200 feature noise-isolating ear tips, for those times when you just want to block out your surroundings and hear the music.

Both models are available starting today in black or blue and will set you back $150 a piece.

The BackBeat FIT 3200 are truly wireless earbuds that have been designed for people with an active lifestyle.

The 3150 are very similar to the 3200, but they skip out of the noise-isolating ear tips.

The next headphones to join the truly wireless lineup from Plantronics come from the BackBeat PRO family. The BackBeat PRO 5100 earbuds are the lightest and smallest trulu wireless headphones Plantronics has to offer, and some of the best-looking.

They come complete with four noise-canceling mics and WindSmart technology to tune out background noise during calls. The BackBeat PRO 5100 also feature IPX54 splashproof resistance, and provide 6.5 hours of listening time with an additional 13 hours with the charging case. They are available starting today for $170.

Last but not least, we have a pair of over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones from Plantronics, named the BackBeat FIT 6100. These are made for the fitness enthusiast that prefers over-the-ear style and comfort, and come with an IPX5 water-resistance rating.
