1More Piston Classic vs Plantronics BackBeat FIT (2014)

The 1More Piston Classic makes for a good, if unremarkable, Earphone for people with a $15 budget.

The Plantronics BackBeat FIT (2014), however, is merely mediocre at its $99 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $15 and $90 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
