Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 vs Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear

Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 is among the smallest headphones ever made - all functionality is crammed within the control buttons and earbuds themselves.

To get extended use out of your headphones you can use a charging case that can be bought separately or as part of a bundle. You attach the micro usb connector from the charging case to the earbud and let it replenish the battery. A fully charged case can charge the earphones twice.

These headphones are designed to be sweatproof so you can use them in the gym, while running, etc.

The BackBeat Go 2 can pair with up to 8 devices.

If adjusted to sit correctly in your ear, these headphones give a balanced sound performance, and should work well for all genres of music.

To help the earbuds stay comfortably in the ears, there are plastic stabilizers that can be adjusted to better suit your needs.

You can get them in a bunch of different colors at Amazon.com and you can find them for less than $30 US dollars.

The BackBeat Go 2 has a decent microphone for making calls indoors, but it is somewhat lacking for outdoor use.

The Momentum In-Ear's build features metal on the part of the earpiece that goes into the ear, while the rest is made out of quality plastic. This combination makes the headphones quite durable yet still lightweight.

The in-line remote can adjust volume levels, play or pause tracks as well as answer or end calls.

You do not have to pull out your phone and remove these in-ears to take a call thanks to the in-line microphone. Voice quality is very clear, so you should be easily heard by the person on the other line.

It has a V-shaped sound signature so the bass has good rumble and power while the highs have good detail without coming off as harsh. The mids are slightly recessed but still have good presence, so vocals and guitars, though a bit soft sounding, still sound good.

This sound quality works great for a wide range of music, but bass heads especially will love the low-end rumble and punch that these headphones can put out.

They're durable enough to be chucked directly into a pocket but if you want extra protection then the included carrying case can provide it. A cable management tray is also included to keep the cable under control.

The Momentum In-Ears feature a flat cable which has good thickness to it and is quite soft and flexible. It should not break easily, and the integrated strain relief hoop on the earpiece will help prevent the cable from accidentally detaching from the earpiece housing.
