So after exhausting the functionality you can make use of with the FIT, it's safe to say that call and music quality ranks pretty high on the list of requirements we would have towards it. Whenever not in use, the headset goes into hibernation mode, and is apparently able to withhold its charge for up to 180 days. Lastly, the BackBeat FIT's tiny battery is rated good for up to 6 hours of talk time, 8 hours of music streaming, and 14 days of stand-by.

In all, it took us a some getting used to before we were able to unleash the full potential of the BackBeat FIT in the gym, but there's nothing non-standard or complex in the way the FIT works. While in calls, you can also mute your microphone by tapping on the left button, which usually controls the music player. Calls function somewhat similarly – a single tap of the large button to accept a call, and a long-press to reject one. The same applies for volume control – clicking the small, pointy button the left will shoot the volume up, but you'll have to long-press in order to have the headset quiet down. For example, playing/pausing is done by pressing the left circular button, but skipping to the next song takes two taps, and playing the previous track again requires you to long-press until you hear a spoken confirmation. Sounds simple enough, but there's actually a short learning curve until you memorize the different combinations that allow you to actually exert that control. Both these key functions are carried out with the use of a the four convenient buttons (two on each side) that control the music player on your smartphone (through the two buttons on the left), and answer and reject calls (via the large, circular button on the right).

The process is equally simplistic if you ever have to switch the host device – you basically have to first power off the headset completely, and then hold the power button for about 5 seconds to enter a pairing mode.Īs for the type of functionality the BackBeat FIT offers, don't hold your breath – you're getting the typical slew of options, just like with any other Bluetooth headset – you can listen to music and also receive and reject calls. Pairing the BackBeat FIT with your smartphone via Bluetooth for the first time is a straightforward process – the headphones enter a pairing mode automatically as soon as you power on the headset.
