Together, the headset and case package retails for the same as the original BackBeat Go did at launch without a case, at $99.99. Plantronics claims the case can add an additional 10 hours to the BackBeat Go 2's 4.5 hours of listening or 5 hours of talk time, making the extra $20 for the carrying case a very good deal. A small button and two LEDs indicate the pouch's charging level and if it's charging the headset. A micro USB port in the bottom of the pouch keeps it charged and can directly charge the headset before topping off its own battery. A short micro USB cable can plug into the headset while it's in the pouch to charge from the small battery built in. The pouch is a sturdy nylon bag just large enough to hold the earbuds and cable round in a small, loose loop. The headset can come with a battery charger and carrying pouch for an additional $20, a new addition to the BackBeat Go. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions.

The only other real visible difference besides the remote is that it comes with the ear stabilizers already mounted on the earbuds instead of sitting in the box. It still comes with three pairs of rubber tips in different sizes and a pair of looped ear stabilizers that hook just behind the ear tips. It still has a micro USB connection for charging hidden behind a rubber door on the right earbud. It's still available in black and white versions. The in-line remote now has three buttons instead of one, and can adjust volume and change tracks in addition to answering calls. It's still a pair of earbuds on a short, flat, tangle-free cable with an in-line remote and microphone in a small rectangular box near the right ear. The BackBeat Go 2 ($28.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) is nearly physically identical to the original Backbeat Go with a few small changes.

The Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 are the follow-up to last year's Editors' Choice BackBeat Go ($84.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), and at $79.99 without a charging pouch or $99.99 with a charging pouch, they offer an even better value and an incremental upgrade over the previous model. However, you can get a pair of comfortable in-ear earphones with very good mid- and high-end sound quality. For less than $100, you can't expect a Bluetooth headset with powerful bass. If you can't spend a lot, you're going to have to compromise certain aspects of sound quality. If you can spend a lot on a pair of headphones, they're probably going to sound great (with certain distinctions between the models).

I read through some forums and found the following solution (which worked beautifully for me): If I connected it to the charger or such there was no light at all, red or blue. At one point it just died without giving me any voice over about low battery or such.Īfter that even if I tried to plug it back in, nothing would happen.

I then reconnected the headset to my android phone (Nexus 5) and it worked fine for sometime.

I had this issue this morning where I was using my Plantronics Backbeat Go 2 headset with my Macbook Pro Retina and I didn’t disconnect the bluetooth before I shut down the bluetooth on the laptop.
