Product Description
Back Bay Audio has created the perfect earbuds for every athlete.

With incredible sound and a fully waterproof design, the lightweight Runner 60 earbuds are ready for even your sweatiest or rainiest workouts.
Extra-Long Battery Life
The small magnetic charging case can power a total of 80 hours of music on the go! The earbuds can play music for 8 hours before needing to recharge. The magnetic charging pod can power 72 more hours of music! These are the best wireless earbuds for long trips!
Fully Water-Resistant
The Runner 60's can withstand long runs in the rain! Enjoy the freedom of a long jog or bike ride during a storm without worrying about your buds. [[These are NOT Swimming Earbuds. The fit is not designed for swimming]]
Back Bay Signature Sound
Sound quality is our passion at Back Bay. We’ve dialed in the warm, vocal tone of our Signature Sound. The earbuds can reproduce CD-quality sound.
Featuring Bass Boost Mode
If you want to give your workout an extra boost, you can easily turn on deep bass mode by tapping the right earbud. Bass mode will produce thumping bass without ever distorting the sound.
Strong Connection with Bluetooth 5.0
The most important factor of any true wireless (TWS) ear pods is connection strength. With Qualcomm’s wireless technology and the newest Bluetooth 5.0, we’ve created a strong seamless connection.
Hands-Free Phone Calls
Answer calls without ever touching your phone. Runner 60’s feature two microphones so your voice will be loud and clear during hands-free phone calls.

I purchased these Back Bay's because during the summer, I'd rather do without the headband if at all possible (although I do have a summer version), but didn't want to risk having my old earbuds fall out while I'm zipping around at 20 mph. The Back Bay's had a nice wrap around function that didn't appear to pose a discomfort level associated with wearing some sort of ear covering over them, so I gave them a shot.
First off, they are a nice, solid set of ear phones. The case is about the size of credit card (see pics), with a height similar to a PC mouse. It's a nice size case and charging is a breeze... although I will say that unlike most of my other USB rechargeable items, this case has a different connector and is not compatible with the other cords I have... so there's that.
At first it was a little weird not having any actual buttons to depress like my old set of ear buds, but now I'm quite used to it and like the "tap" functionality of all the various settings and options.
The sound is hard to complain about, seriously... they are quite nice. I listen to podcasts mostly, so the few times I've had music on and utilized the Bass Mode was quite the treat. I'm sure there will be many music lovers out there who will explore and enjoy this function more than I have at this point.
As I mentioned earlier, I purchased these for my daily one-hour electric bike commute to work (1/2 hour each way) during the summer. I especially require as good as noise cancellation as I can get, because the wind can be quite the deterrent from a otherwise pleasant experience when your on a bike, in the city, with all the wind and traffic noise. On a scale of 1-10 on my bike, I would say they are about a 7... whereas my old ones are more like a 8-9. I think that's because my older buds can get down more solidly into the ear (not sure that's actually better for you or not in the long term) than these, due to the ear wrap prohibiting that identical sort of insertion depth. If I wasn't on an electric bike terrorizing the public at 20 mph, and say, just jogging or something... this wouldn't be an issue in the least.
That being said, with being exposed like I am, you're never going to get to 100% noise cancellation, nor should you for any number of safety considerations. But I will say this... even at a 7 rating, I find myself not noticing the wind distortion as I meander my way into work, and enjoy my daily podcast murder addiction immensely... so for me that is a definite win!
Bottom Line, here are my grades and recommendations:
1. Sound - Excellent
2. Selection of different sized ear pieces (you'll need to experiment to find your favorite) - Excellent
3. Comfort - Very Good (I wish the wrap arounds were of a slightly softer material, but that's a minor gripe).
4. Functions/Controls - Easy to Understand and Learn
5. Connectivity - No Issues
6. Battery Life - I use for 1 hour every day, it's been a non-issue.
7. USB Charge - Easy, but the connector is not similar/interchangeable to many other USB devices.
One last tip: I found the easiest way to put these on is to rotate them clockwise around your ear, almost like your screwing them in. Start the tip of the ear hook just above your ear and rotate clockwise towards the rear, and then down. Works great for me! :)
