Beats by Dr. Dre - Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Earbuds - Sage Gray

I tried out the AirPods Pro when they were first released in 2019 and, while I was impressed by their noise cancellation and sound quality, they didn't fit well in my ears and I've just never been a fan of the "stem" design of AirPods. My go-to earbuds for most of this year have been the Beats Studio Buds since they offer the most AirPods-like experience with instant pairing, "Find My" support, and Spatial Audio support. That is, of course, until the Beats Fit Pro earbuds were introduced. If you've been waiting for a more sportier or more secure-fitting version of AirPods Pro, the Beats Fit Pro could be the answer. PROS: - On iOS devices, the Beats Fit Pro behave much like AirPods. They are recognized by my iPhone as soon as I open the case with a pop-up for instant pairing. You can see the battery percentages of the buds and the case in your notification center and also control the noise cancellation mode through Control Center. The Beats Fit Pro appear in the "Find My" app in case you lose them. You also get Spatial Audio, allowing you to experience the new Dolby Atmos tracks on Apple Music. - The Beats Fit Pro support automatic device switching between Apple devices, something that the Beats Studio Buds do not support. Similarly, the Beats Fit Pro will automatically pause your content when you take them out of your ears -- another feature not supported on the cheaper Studio Buds. - It's clear that Apple and Beats focused on fit and comfort with the Beats Fit Pro. In my ears, these are VERY secure with virtually zero chance of falling out thanks to the excellent earfins. It takes a few tries to learn how to snap in the earfins quickly (it requires just a bit of a turn once you get the buds in your ears), but once you get the hang of it, there's nothing to it. The earfins help maintain a tight in-ear seal since they minimize how much the buds can move in your ear, which is crucial for noise cancellation. Most importantly, the Beats Fit Pro are very comfortable for hours on end. I've worn them in the gym, in the office, and at home for many hours now and I have no complaints. The buds protrude just a bit from my ears, but I still prefer them over the design of AirPods. - The Beats Fit Pro come with three sizes of ear tips. I landed on the large ear tips with the help of the built-in ear tip fit test. On iOS, go to Bluetooth settings, tap the "i" next to Beat Fits Pro, and then access the ear tip fit test. - I like the fact that both buds have physical buttons to control play/pause, skip forward/backward, and noise cancellation/transparency. Both buttons perform the same functions, so there is no need to remember which button to push to perform a certain function. One click plays/pauses your music; two clicks skips one track forward; three clicks to go back one track; and a long press to disable or enable noise cancellation. Even better is that these are actual, physical buttons that you press - not touch controls that might not work with sweaty hands. - Sound quality is great. The buds deliver crisp and detailed sound with very punch bass. Vocals are clear and the soundstage is quite natural and expansive. It's clear that Beats/Apple went out of their way to give the bass an extra "punch," but that could be thanks in part to the strong seal from the ear tips. Regardless, for every day use, sound quality is excellent and the vast majority of users will be very satisfied. - Noise cancellation is also very good. I also own a pair of Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - the Beats Fit Pro unfortunately are not as good as those when it comes to noise cancellation - but I am confident that these would do just fine on an airplane and in busy places like coffee shops. Compared to the Beat Studio Buds, the noise cancellation on the Fit Pro is MUCH better, and that's likely due in part to the better ear tip seal. - The case charges over USB-C, which will be welcome news to iOS and Android users alike trying to minimize the amount of cables they carry around. CONS: - Android users don't get a full-fledged Apple-like experience. Unlike the cheaper Studio Buds, the Beats Fit Pro do not support the new Google Fast Pair standard, so they won't instantly pair with your Android phone. There is a dedicated Beats Android app used to adjust noise cancellation settings, but there is no Spatial Audio support or automatic switching between paired devices. - The case feels a bit flimsy to me -- certainly not as sturdy or premium feeling as a regular AirPods case. The hinge on my case feels a bit loose, so maybe I just got a bad unit. Regardless, the case is fine and is relatively compact. - The case does not support wireless charging. At this price point, I consider this a huge omission. Almost every other major competitor in this premium price range supports this feature, so I was a bit shocked to see that Beats did not include wireless charging in the Fit Pro case. - Microphone performance is good, not great. In noisy environments, people on the other end of my calls reported a lot of background noise. OVERALL: The Beats Fit Pro are an excellent pair of every day earbuds that, in my opinion, are much more practical than AirPods Pro. They offer the best features of AirPods Pro with a much more secure and comfortable design that is perfectly suited for active lifestyles. There are very few trade-offs compared to AirPods Pro: noise cancellation is very good, sound quality is great, and the fit is excellent. The most glaring omission is wireless charging, something that absolutely should have been included. Regardless, the Beats Fit Pro are my new go-to earbuds and the ones that I am going to take with me everywhere going forward. Highly recommended!

I own earbuds and headphones from 10+ different brands and am comparing my Beat Fit Pro experience with the ones I own. Apple released Beats Fit Pro this Nov (2021) and it can compared with Air Pods Pro on price point and on most of the features with exception to revitalizing the much craved Bass levels/range for Bass lovers. The sound quality can be compared to Beats Studio buds but with few improvements that I think is worth the upgrade. Apart from its newest design it comes in four mesmerizing colors and I like the gray color the most! Design: The Fit Pro comes with a new wing tip that is part of the earbud itself. The good part of the new design is that it stays put in the ear and I tested it while biking and had it for hours on my endurance runs. Didn't feel like it was hurting (don't feel the pressure) my ears for all day use and the wing tip definitely secures it in place and you don't have to worry about losing your earbuds or it falling off while working out. Come to the bad part, having the wing tip fixed to the earbud might not give you an option to replace the wing tip if starts to degrade (5+ years of use ?) with sweat or heat/cold temperatures. Am guessing it was tested and built to last or resist sweat (IPX4 - water/sweat resistant but not water proof!) and extreme weather conditions. I used the wrap around the ear design for biking, which causes a little irritation when I start to sweat, but the Beats Fit Pro is definitely a better choice for my sports activity. The battery case has a USB C connector for charging the case and the ear buds. Features: • Touch button controls on both earbuds. I always preferred touch button over the touch feature as it can get annoying when it accidentally activates the controls when sweating or while adjusting the earbuds - good thought to stay away from touch controls! Comes with 2 extra size earbud tips. • App is simple to use, has the option to turn on/off transparency and ANC settings. • It boasts of having six microphones on both the earbuds to help distinguish your voice from the external noise and blocks out the incoming noise. Remember reading an article that talked about redesigned driver for extended bass range with their new H1 chip, which is quite evident when you play music with heavy bass. I definitely feel the uptick on the bass levels and it is comparable to Beats headsets. • Optical sensor automatically pauses the music when you take the earbuds off of your ear. Performance: • Notable spatial audio experience (audio mix enhancements as you move your head from side to side, just like being at a live concert) when watching movies or listening to music on Apple devices. • Great audio quality while making phone calls, no complaints at all on the external noise while walking on streets with cars passing by. • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on par with most of the ear buds I used so far, but still doesn't beat the top two brands that are known for the best ANC in the industry. ANC can activated with the buttons on the ear buds or via the app with ANC on both or single earbud option. Transparency mode setting lets you hear the surrounding noise, nothing fancy on this feature compared to other earbud brands. • Battery lasted for 5+ hrs (with ANC active) on a single charge and the case itself can charge the earbuds 3 times and the buds support fast charging so it can be fully charged in an hr. The case is a flatter than the power beats pro case (doesn't have the magnets to snap the buds to the charger!) and fits easily in my pant pockets. • Apple always boasted about their adaptive equalizer that automatically adjusts the Eq settings based on the music you hear and the surrounding noise, etc. I like having the Eq setting or preset settings on my app, but its individual preference. But the equalizers itself do a good job when watching movies and you can definitely see it dynamically adjust with the movie settings. • In terms of the audio itself, it picks the lows, the mid's, and the high's pretty good. Rich audio and there is a quite bit of improvement on the bass levels itself compared to Beats Studio buds, so base lovers will love the upgrade and its richer sound compared to Air pods pro! Cons: • Wireless charging case would be a good addition for the price you pay. I am sure Apple wanted to keep that option only for the Air pods pro just to differentiate its brand. • Still waiting for Beats to add the equalizer option on their app. • Spatial audio, auto switching between devices, Siri, etc. only on Apple devices and not on android ones.

I read reviews before purchasing and using. Tried them out today and over four different scenarios, I feel like I'm still on the fence. I do like the size, versus my PowerBeats Pros and the pocket sized case was forward thinking. The... cheap feeling case, especially compared to the PBP. The feel of the headphones is solid, connection (Android), especially with the app is stellar. The sound is crisp, but also a bit tinny for Beats. I have a half dozen pairs and my PBP are still my favorites. The wing tips work great and the app settings make it better. Long distance wearing seems like it won't be an issue.. they just don't get as loud as I'd like and at the top of the spectrum, the bass thins out. I just want more, especially for two bills - after $150, expectations change. I feel like for most people, this is a winner. But for me, I'll try on my Samsung Galaxy Buds Live again, which do not have a better long term fit, but are definitely punchier. The sound isolation was great. I was able to block out gas powered leaf blower noise, but still, I feel like you'd need to crank whatever you're listening to in an airplane scenario. I want to love them because there are so many positives and they look great. It's like having your favorite cup of coffee made right... but it's luke warm. They do not deserve a negative review, so I am clicking, YES to the recommendation on the review page, but adding - "Wait for a sale or an open box deal."

I have used several types of Earbuds but so far this has been one of the best. So far it has been one of the best for the simple reason that the bass is very good and it is very clear the design is one of the best I have seen, I have run several times and they have not fallen off my ears that is very important. Another reason is they are resistant to water and sweat. And of course made by Apple if I’m not mistaken. I highly recommend for the fallowing reasons For perfect fit, water and sweat resistant, wonderful sound quality, price, design, I have own AirPods but there is not comparison with h this beats they are amazing I just can stop expressing how good this Earbuds are please give yourself a treat and experience what a quality affordable Beats Earbuds are. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

These are my new EDC earbuds! IMHO, unless an audiophile, you will be challenged to differentiate the Beats Fit from AirPods Pro. In fact, w/Apple’s proprietary H1 Chip baked in, ANC, Transparency, Spatial Audio, & auto-switching between iOS devices are collectively seamless w/these Beats Fit Pro. If there were any cons, it would have to be the less than premium feel and size of the carrying case. Unlike the AirPods Pro, this Beats Fit Pro case is a little bulky, slippery in the hands, and just feels plasticky. In sum, I purchased the Beats Studio Buds and these Beats Fit Pro a few days ago IOT compare. I’m returning the former and giving the latter a ‘Flossy Carter’ endorsement. “…these are a major, major, major GO!” Scotty, beam me up…

I needed earbuds that could block out the noise of a CNC machine while machining carbon fiber. These earbuds to the rescue. While the ANC is great. It's doesn't block out all the noise off that CNC machine. But 80-90% of blocked out noise is better than nothing. Sound quality is superb! Very reminiscing of over the ear cups but on a small format. Battery life is excellent with out ANC. Not really great if using ANC. They struggle to get through one shift at work. They are also really comfortable as long as I don't have to constantly take them in and out of my ears. Ultimately i love these ear buds. I would definitely purchase them again.

These are excellent headphones overall, about what you’d expect for the price. The pros are they sound great overall and fit very comfortably, they also charge very fast, the intuitiveness of the headphones such as Siri reading out your text or pausing your music automatically when you take out one headphone is very nice. The cons are the charging case is very flimsily and could easily break if not careful, also you have to turn the volume up on these headphones to about 85% before you can even begin to clearly hear anything, my only other complaint would be the lack of a charging block in the box, if you don’t have one you’ll have to purchase it separately.

I have had these since Jan 2022. They are fantastic with sound and spacial audio. Once you fit them correctly (youtube is a great source to do this), they stay in place in the ears. The ONLY downside is to be very careful with the ear stoppers. They WILL tear. It would be a very good idea to purchase the AppleCare+ as well. They were also very easy to pair as well as going from one device to another.
