Internally, each earpiece employs a 13.5mm driver delivering a frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz. Your results will vary with your volume levels. Plantronics estimates battery life for the BackBeat Fit 3200 to be roughly 8 hours, with 16 additional hours stored in the charging case. The app is also essential for downloading firmware updates. You can also switch Awareness mode on or off in the app-it allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the earpieces, and dims the music volume levels during playback. It's a bummer there are no user-adjustable EQs, only presets. The app has three EQ modes to choose between-Balanced, Bass Boost, and Bright-which we'll discuss in the next section. The Plantronics BackBeat app allows you to customize some controls on the BackBeat Fit 3200, assigning a variety of tasks (like enabling a stopwatch or playing a Spotify playlist) to one or two taps, but enabling these functions disables the volume controls on the left ear. There's also a Power On button that prevents the case from turning on and wasting battery. Inside, there's a small pocket for the charging cable, and of course, the charging docks for the earpieces. What might be the shortest charging cable we've ever seen connects to the micro USB port on the back of the case. The charging case resembles more of a carrying pouch than a case, with its zip-shut lid. The earpieces automatically power up when taken out of the charging case, and they can be powered up and down manually by clicking and holding both outer panel buttons for two seconds (to power up) or four seconds (to power down). We haven't seen controls divided up like this before, and the approach to volume seems a bit counterintuitive. The left earpiece only controls volume-one quick tap raises the volume, while tapping and holding lowers it. One click of the right earpiece controls playback, a double click skips forward a track, three clicks moves backward a track, and clicking and holding summons your phone's voice assistant.
The outer panels of the earpieces are metallic green clickable surfaces, with controls divided between the left and right ears. The charging case, however is not waterproof, so you shouldn't place wet earphones inside of it. The earpieces have an IP57 rating, meaning they can be submerged up to a meter and washed off under a faucet without issue. There are three included pairs of eartips in all two of the pairs have earfin pieces attached to them for extra fit security, and one pair has a protruding section that is smaller and less fin-like, but still adds stability. DesignĪvailable in black or teal models, the BackBeat Fit 3200's earpieces have built-in ear hooks that make them ideal for exercise-they will stay in place even during rigorous workouts.
The earphones join a crowded field of exercise-focused true wireless options, and are one of the better models in this price range for deep bass lovers who need a waterproof build. For the same $149.99, they again feature a stable fit and a waterproof design ideal for working out, but the bass has been pumped up considerably.
PLANTRONICS BACKBEAT FIT 3200 UPDATE
That certainly isn't the case with the BackBeat Fit 3200, an update to last year's model. When we reviewed the BackBeat Fit 3100 earphones from Plantronics last year, we found one major thing lacking: Bass.
