Plantronics introduced the Backbeat Go 2 headset in India today. The in-ear bluetooth headset has been available for a while globally and is a pretty cool accessory for fitness enthusiasts or generally anyone living an active lifestyle and wanting some music on the go.

I finally received a Go 2 unit for review last week, and I have been using it ever since. Does it work as advertized? How does it compare to other bluetooth units? And what are its strengths and weaknesses? I’ll explain it all in my review below.
