Skullcandy Sesh vs Plantronics Backbeat Fit 3200

The Skullcandy Sesh makes for a good, if unremarkable, Earphone for people with a $35 budget.

The Plantronics Backbeat Fit 3200, however, is merely mediocre at its $119 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 $35 and $130 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
