You can probably get a better music quality with $100-200 corded-earphones but BackBeat GO 2 has so much more to offer. For a cordless Bluetooth headset, the sound quality is much more than expected. The bass is pretty good too, though it tends to get lost once the whole channels kick in. It sounds better compared to the original BackBeat GO sound stands out more and gives a balanced mid-and-high channels. Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 outputs great sound quality for music listening.
