Fitbit Flyer Wireless Earphones

Our Expert review of the Fitbit Flyer Wireless Headphones

What we think of the design:

Not quite true wireless earbuds but a sleek modern design that is fitness focused. They are comfortable to wear and secure enough that they won’t fall out during exercise. This is of course helped with the multitude of tips, wings and fins included in the box that covers most ear shapes and sizes. The cable connecting 1 ear piece to the other allows for inline controls and a mic for calling as well as the obvious ability to take them out of your ears and keep them around your neck rather than having to carry a charging case.

What’s good about it?

We’ve already mentioned that the Fitbit Flyers come with loads of tips to customise the fit so they can be worn easily and comfortably for longer, especially while exercising. The cable is also adjustable to help ensure that comfortable and secure fit. They are also sweat proof with a hydrophobic nano coating. We were able to get almost to the 6 hour mark without having to charge them up as well, so they should be several decent workouts where you can throw them in a bag without having to worry about how much battery they have left.

What’s the sound like?

Fitbit sell them as having 2 different sound settings, Signature and Power Boost. We are happy to say both were noticeable in sound delivery, especially with Power Boost on, they were bassey without pounding your eardrums.

Are there any drawbacks?

We weren’t too surprised with the lack of fitness tracking capabilities; after all this is Fitbits first venture in to the earphone market. Other earphones such as the Samsung Gear IconX or the Jabra Elite Sports earphones do but they are far more expensive.
