The Beats Fit Pro essentially take everything great about the AirPods Pro and distills it into a sportier, more secure and more affordable package. Their unique wing tip design creates a nice tight seal in your ear without feeling too heavy, while their physical controls make it easy to skip songs and summon Siri. And unlike the AirPods, the Beats Fit Pro come in a range of attractive colors, including black, white, Sage Gray and the gorgeous Stone Purple that I’ve been rocking for a few months.
You get all the same benefits as Apple’s other high-end earbuds, including reliable active noise cancellation for blocking out noise, a Transparency mode for staying aware during runs and Spatial Audio for immersive 360-degree sound. And while they work best with Apple devices, they also work great on Android phones, thanks to a Beats companion app that’s loaded with features.
I fell in love with the Beats Fit Pro when I reviewed them back in November, and while I’ve tested nearly every major competitor that’s come out since, I always find myself coming back to their alluring purple looks and snug, lightweight embrace. The one big trade-off you’ll make compared to the AirPods Pro is that the case doesn’t offer wireless charging, but I’ll take that small drawback in exchange for superior comfort, controls and style.
