Backbeat go is selling for $70.02 in USD and $65.88 AUD.
Includes USPS shipping, which usually takes 1-4 weeks.
The seller is all4cellular and I think it's a bulk one (not a retail package).

    There is a micro usb socket on the end of one of the earphones. The battery is inside. I just picked one up from JB on Monday. Good thing I had some gift cards to use up!

    The batteries inside the earphone, not too big, so only lasts about 4 hours.
    You can charge this with any micro 5-pin charger that most of the Android phones use

  I have one of these and it's great (with a few issues)

  The good:

  • Small, great for travel
  • Easy to setup … I didn't bother to read the manual, just pressed the likely buttons
  • Good audio quality
  • Nice 'tacky' rubber cover so it won't slip off your shoulders

  The bad:

  • It's small, it has a small battery, so it has a small battery life (4-6) hours. Suits me, but it may not suit you.
  • BIG PAIN - only associates with one bluetooth device. You can't have it connected to your PC and your phone at the same time. Come on Plantronics, this is the 21st century. My $20 yum-cha Chinese headset dos this.

  All in all a great headset, one which I recommend.

  Was thinking of getting it for music during workouts, but reviews suggest otherwise (6.0 score CNET)

  any recommendation for good bluetooth headphones/earphones during workouts ?

    The only con in their review was that the sound was flat.

    That was my first impression when I tried them, but I'm a longtime in-ear monitor user, so I was aware that a poor seal would make it sound flat with no bass.

    I went through all the 3 tip sizes and found one that fit my ears with a good seal. It improved the sound tremendously - I think it sounds great for bluetooth earphones now.

  I ended up with the Ariva Leo. I like them but suffer from the same issues that papafox described above. Big plus is the water resistance.

    Interestingly, the US site states the Backbeat is sweat and moisture-resistant:

    I went with the Plantronics as I intend to use it for walking and cycling, where I only want one ear plugged in. The behind-the-near ones need both ears, and many of the other in-ear ones are large, like the Jaybird Freedom Sprint.

  Where are you getting $65.88 shipped? For 70.02 USD, PayPal's currency converter is giving me:

  69.95 AUD (1 AUD = 1.00105 USD)

    Lol, the ebay conversion said 65.88 for me before.
