I’ve only used it three times but now the headphones will no longer charge or turn on.
PLT BACKBEAT FIT BLUETOOTH
Complaint posted on Plantronics’ website (August 2018) “I bought this Plantronics Back Beat Fit Bluetooth headset from Best Buy so that I could enjoy music while I workout. Then they show a red light when I replug them in, so they need to be charged again with no usage.”
It appears to be a battery issue as they will charge up to the blue light, then I unplug and they won't turn on. I bought them in midDecember 2017, and probably used them less than 25 times or so. Some of these complaints, which were supposedly posted on retailers’ and the defendant’s own website, can be read below : “Not even a year's worth of use out of them. The seemingly unending parade of consumer complaints highlighted in the lawsuit, however, paints a different picture. An added benefit is that the headphones are supposedly sweat- and waterproof, engineered by Plantronics to be flexible and durable enough to withstand “the rain or a rinse under the tap,” the complaint says. The Bluetooth headphones’ packaging represents that they can be used for up to eight hours on a single two-hour charge. Neither should your headphones.” In fact, the defendant claims its headphones allow consumers to “ower through a week of workouts from a single charge,” according to the case. The company claims its headphones allow wearers to “train harder and longer,” and even advertises the product alongside the following tagline: “You never quit. Plantronics’ BackBeat FIT wireless headphones, which retail for around $100, are designed specifically for athletes and exercisers. The 47-page lawsuit claims that despite Plantronics’ representations that the sport headphones can last up to eight hours on a single charge, inherent defects cause the headphones’ battery life to diminish until they eventually stop recharging entirely, especially after exposure to sweat or water – to which they are supposed to be resistant. Plantronics, Inc.’s BackBeat FIT wireless headphones are the subject of a proposed class action lawsuit filed in California that alleges the supposedly sweatproof and waterproof Bluetooth headphones are not as durable or long-lasting as advertised.
