The memory foam comfort is nice and helps to keep sound both in and out. Not only is the sound super smooth, but the noise reducing feature worked almost too well. Of course, I immediately brought these to work to test out, but because of the cordless nature I also brought them along to the gym to see how they would fare in my workout routine. Pairing the device is simple as is charging, and the pivot feature of each ear cup makes storage a breeze in a drawer, suitcase, or the provided drawstring bag. A clear “R” and “L” are labeled inside each ear cup for proper placement, and a smooth play/pause and forward/backward skip button on the outer left speaker allows for easy navigation on the move without having to fumble for your device. I’ve already touched on the aesthetics, but it’s the subtleties that make me a fan of this one. Simplicity carries over into the design of the headphones as well. I was a little taken aback by how little there was in the box, as essentially you get a drawstring storage bag, the headphones themselves, and two cords one for USB charging and one headphone jack to plug directly into an audio source if desired. Needlessly to say, right out of the box I was instantly on board. My review unit was the khaki color, which I, the nerd that I am, noticed look awfully similar to the off-white/light grey color of a vintage computer.

Color-wise, the BackBeat GO 600 series comes in four distinct color options: black, navy, grey, and khaki. It has smooth curves and a few distinct lines to appeal aesthetically to almost any individual and the soft memory foam earcups are pleasant to the touch and fit perfectly over the ear with a snug fit. When I unboxed my headphones, I immediately noticed that these would look the part of any athlete walking off the team jet or stepping off the bus on the way to the stadium with these on their ears or around their neck.

While I’m not a fashionable fellow, I recognize that sleek audio headphones double as both functional listening device and as a fashion accessory. However, just because I’m practical and set in a routine doesn’t mean I’m not willing to try new things, so I jumped at the opportunity to review the new Plantronics BackBeat GO 600 series headphones and see where the experience takes me. When I work out, I’m usually the odd man out who doesn’t listen to any music other than what the gym pumps through the overhead speakers. I like practicality, so my KOSS headphones have served me well in my office cubicle to allow me to listen to music and internet audio for years without disturbing my coworkers. My audio needs are usually utility over luxury, which is why I’ve used the same corded over-the-ear headphones for eight years. And the second one is kind of big: I can't get it to connect to my iMac or my MacBook most of the time :( I've had no problem with my Motorola RAZR or my dad's iPhone 4, but the Macs just won't let it connect.All in all, it was a great gift, but if I had payed for them I might be a little disappointed.Although I recognize good audio quality when I hear it, I’m not an audiophile. Although, it's not that bad since you're protected from outside noises. The first one is that the highest volume isn't high at all and I like to listen to music quite loudly. You can even use them as earplugs as they do a great job alienating you from surrounding noises.I find two things a little frustrating. From then on it's great because they're extremely light and they don't get in your way like every other headphone. It takes a little time getting used to the fit, maybe a couple of days. 4.5hrs is great if you use them for running, but they certainly can't replace your plug in headphones. The headphones are beautiful and light and I wouldn't tell anyone not to buy them, but I do have to warn that battery life is a little less than desirable.
