There are more ear tip sizes to choose from, too, in case you want a tighter or looser seal. This provides a subtle extra bit of stability in fit, and because the earbuds are only about 0.2 ounces like most in the range, that was plenty of grippiness for me. Instead of that grippy, rubbery material actually extends further up the cylindrical housing to coat the part that rests against the outside of your ear. However, I found these earbuds to be mostly secure because the eartip doesnвЂ™t attach only at the edge of the earbudsвЂ™ enclosure. Unlike Bose, thereвЂ™s no secondary point of contact like an ear wing or fin. Instead, their eartips are shaped more like flattened ovals-a shape fans of Bose will recognize. The Backbeat Pros donвЂ™t use standard, perfectly round silicone ear tips. That makes sense because if you donвЂ™t get a good enough seal, you wonвЂ™t get the best sound isolation and you could even risk dropping the earbud down onto the sidewalk. One of the most polarizing categories for a true wireless earbud is the physical fit in oneвЂ™s ear. On looks alone, Plantronics isnвЂ™t trying to make any statements, choosing instead to toe a line between sleek/simple and utilitarian. The case sits somewhere between an Apple dental floss type and the flatter matchbook-style you get with a brand like Jabra. This provides some interesting points for fit, but also gives the earbud a distinct look on the backside.

However, the full construction of the eartips actually snaps physically into the earbud housing further up the back, extending it a little higher on the housing than usual. The eartips themselves look a little different than you might expect, sporting a more Bose-style, flattened oval shape. There is a small plastic grille around the outer edges that peeks out, but this is obviously housing the four-mic array at the center of PlantronicsвЂ™ call quality.

When you put them in your ear, theyвЂ™re essentially just glossy circles with the PLT logo on the outside.

These earbuds donвЂ™t really look all that special. Lifewire / Jason Schneider Design: Unimpressive but unintrusive
