Plantronics BackBeat Go 3

Last and the most interesting among all the devices they launched there for me is the BackBeat Go 3. It's a Bluetooth powered in ear monitors with microphone that's said to be audiophile (HiFi) grade.

It also boast custom drivers that's tuned to deliver vivid and high resolution music that's rare for a Bluetooth powered IEM, microphone with controls, great type of microphone with full controls, and up to 6.5 hours of playback time.
