The BackBeat GO 2 Headset is Now Available at Certified Resellers

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), a pioneer in wearable technology, today announced that PCMag.com recognized the innovative BackBeat® GO 2 wireless earbuds with an Editors’ Choice award for best budget stereo Bluetooth headset. This award is given to reviewed products that meet the qualifications and standards of PCMag.com’s editorial staff.

PCMag.com graded the BackBeat GO 2 with an editor’s rating of “excellent” and a rank of four out of five stars. The review notes that the “BackBeat GO 2 is a solid upgrade to the original BackBeat GO, with good sound quality and a slightly improved design…” He also calls out the new standard P2i nano-coating as positive enhancement.

The review also praises the budget-conscious price point of $79.99 noting that, “[f]or less than $100… you can get a pair of comfortable in-ear earphones with very good mid- and high-end sound quality.” The reviewer also highlights the headset’s optional portable charging case, “Plantronics claims the case will add an additional 10 hours to the BackBeat Go 2's 4.5 hours of listening or 5 hours of talk time.”
