Not impressed
I returned a defective Amazon “Renewed”AirPods Pro and instead of getting the same thing, I did a bunch of research and went with the Beats Fit Pro. Most reviews I read said these were as good, if not better than the AirPods Pro, so I was excited to try them out. The things I was most interested in trying were the fit and the sound quality.But before I get into that, I do want to voice a bit of frustration with the purchase. I had originally purchased, then returned the AirPods Pro as an Amazon renewed purchase. They were glitchy, so in going with the Beats Fit Pro, I elected to purchase a brand new pair. When they arrived, the box had been opened, and Bluetooth showed they were named by someone else, “Celest’s Beats Fit Pro.” I am not Celest, and I can bet that’s not a standard setting. Shame on you, Amazon, for advertising these as new.Despite my frustration, I wanted to try them out, so I used them for a few weeks. Here’s my comparison pro/con between the Bests Fit Pro and AirPods Pro.Pros:-Battery life was a bit better than AirPods Pro.-I didn’t have the connectivity issues or other glitches I had with the Amazon renewed AirPods ProsCons:-ANC and transparency mode were noticeably worse. Wind noises were pretty extreme with ANC (almost enhanced). Transparency mode didn’t provide as natural a sound of the environment as the AirPods had. There was something about the quality of the sound that sounded cheaper because of the material the Beats were made out of. I didn’t read reviews of anyone else noticing this, so maybe it’s just me. The only way I can figure for it is that the Beats were made out of a softer plastic, while the AirPods were harder material, and that affected the sound quality with both ANC and transparency.-as noted in many other reviews , the case really does feel cheap-the tiny provided cord was only 3-4” long and USB-C. You almost should just not send a cord if you’re going to send one that small. I liked how I could use my iPhone cord with the AirPods.Neutral:- EQ settings were definitely different than the AirPods Pro, and initially I didn’t like the extra bass. After listening for a while, I got used to it.- Fit. The wingtips do allow the Beats to stay in the ear, but it’s uncomfortable. I don’t know what’s more annoying, AirPods falling out while I’m stretching after a run, or the wingtips gouging into my ear. If I had to put up with one, it would be the wingtips. If you don’t need them secure, you can pull the wingtips out and the earbuds will still stay in the ear. However, a friend swears by a third party pair of tips that keeps the AirPods Pros in his ears when exercising that would be worth trying.In the end, I returned them because I wasn’t initially sent a brand new pair and because I wasn’t impressed with them as a whole. I’ll either end up with the AirPods Pro 2nd generation, or go back to the original AirPods Pro. Actually, it’ll probably be the former and I’ll buy it directly from Apple because I’m trusting Amazon less and less (the initial “renewed” pair was glitchy, and the Beats weren’t new when they were advertised as such).

Good not great
*Long Review*I got these headphones during the Prime Early sale so they were about $75-50 less than normal price for new ones. I’ll list some pros and cons below but my immediate reaction to wearing and using these headphones is that they are really no different than the in ear air pods pro. Only reason I wanted these is because I don’t like working out in the AirPods personally and use it mainly for work. I had the older over ear Powerbeats before I got these.Pros:- Noise cancellation is pretty solid even in a loud gym.- Overall sound and base is also a lot better than I would have expected compared to the older beats.- Stay in the ear pretty nicely during cardio or frequent movements.- Battery appears to be pretty solid with the charging case.- Case is smaller than past models and similar to AirPod size so it’s easy to fit in pockets (con to this coming though).- Connecting to iPhone is simple and takes less than a minute.Cons:- THEY MAKE YOU BUY A LIGHTNING CHARGING BASE!! Will admit, I didn’t look deep into that because I assumed it was the same as the AirPods and older beats. You cannot use the older Apple charging cords and you have to use Apples newer lighting chargers/cords because the older cords won’t fit into the charging case. It does come with the cord at least but without the right base, the cord is pointless!- As other reviews have said, the case is pretty terrible as it comes to durability and feel. It feels so flimsy that you could easily snap it off or if it’s dropped, it would break.- Unlike other brands wing tip in ear headphones (Bose), it doesn’t have different sizing so it may hurt your ears (fits perfectly for me though). The different buds don’t really matter if the wing tip hurts your ear. Big miss by apple/beats to not include that because I could see that being super annoying to others.- To put the buds in, it’s pretty hard not to hit the headphone button that starts/stops music or answer/end a call so that’s kind of annoying.- At full MSRP ~$225, it is pretty pricey for what you get.- Probably not the most comfortable for long periods of time. (Beyond 1.5-2 hours)All in all, I do like the headphones because they fit my ear nicely and I like the noise cancellation/sound of them so I plan to keep them. I will say at full MSRP, I would probably look at other brands for in ear wing tipped and not get these though. (I know I just contradicted myself!) The reason I say that, is because there are probably better or more comfortable headphones for over $200 and I got these on sale for Prime Day at a big discount (~$150). Plus if you have to buy a new charging base, you’re adding another $10-20 to the price tag. I can’t speak for other brands and how they work their charging cases or cords when you buy them but Apple definitely gets you there. Like my title says, these are good headphones but not great and would have expected a bit more from apple. Hope this helps!

Best purchase ever
I love any product from beats. These ear buds are top notch, better than AirPods. The color is smooth and pretty, the sound quality and cancellation is amazing and the design is not to bulky. It’s perfect for people that don’t like thing’s hanging around there ear. I personally love it because it fits smoothly in my ear and doesn’t get tangled up in my hair. Highly recommended. 🤗

Not worth the money
These earbuds are fine…just fine. Honestly they aren’t worth the money. My first “expensive” earbud purchase was a set of 1st generation Echo Buds. I was really surprised how many bad reviews they got. I thought the sound quality and noise cancelling was exceptional. I only went a different direction because the battery life fell off too quickly (for the money). This was my first Beats product purchase, and I had high hopes. The sound quality might be as good, but is definitely not better than the Echo Buds. I get it that these are small earbuds and you are limited by what you can put in them, but I honestly don’t think there was a substantial difference in sound quality from my first ($30, connected to each other by a wire, non-noise cancelling, no-name brand) pair of Bluetooth earbuds. The noise cancellation on these earbuds is NOT great. This may be because I CANNOT get them to fit properly, which I shall discuss now… I bought these for probably the same reason most people do–I exercise regularly and vigorously, and wanted something that was waterproof and would stay in my ears. No matter which size of tips I place on these earbuds, the WILL NOT stay in my ears–and I’m not talking about exercise where I’m bouncing a lot or shaking my head around. Just walking, I feel them starting to shift, and I am constantly pushing them back in. Standing still, where I am doing exercises that result in me tensing my jaw or neck, they will loosen and fall out completely in just a matter of 20 seconds or so. Overall, these earbuds are just okay, and I would NOT recommend them for the money they charge.

I didn’t want to give it four stars but..
As the title says, I love these little wireless headphones. However, they did not have small-eared people in mind when they designed these earbuds. The wingtip will hurt your ears after 1hr of use, be mindful my small-eared people if you plan on buying these. Other than that, they do not fall out while running or working out which is great! The battery life lasts just as advertised and you can download the Beats app for android to name your beats case and also see how much charge the case and buds have, plus other features. Overall, I love them but have to give them four stars because the design hurts my ears after awhile.

Good so far
The noise canceling is great. I really wish that Beats had an app that can control the EQ. :(Let’s hope these will stay in my ear when I start sweating. This is the main reason I got these. Update later?

Get Earbuds – Battery life leads a lot to be desired
I love these ear buds. The noise cancellation and sound reproduction is phenomenal. Best ear buds I have ever owned. The battery life is hellacious – 6 hours at best – Noise cancellation is a power vampire but again, great sound. Just wish the batteries were a little stronger. This will be money well spent.

Much better for working out than AirPods Pro.
I was unhappy with my AirPods always falling out when doing any outdoor activities so I was looking for an alternative. I love the fit with the small wing tip they never move. Sound quality is great and I like the physical button for control. The only negative I have is wind noise. I am surprised by the amount of “whistling” the headphones pick up even in mild wind conditions. That said for what I was looking for I am more than happy with them. I also like the improved battery life of AirPods. Noise cancellation is good but not great.
S. Murphy –
They don’t fall out!
These are the best earbud-type headphones I have ever used. The built-in ‘hooks’ ensure they will not fall out of my ears like Airpods. The noise canceling is excellent for in-ear. They aren’t as good as over the ear for noise canceling, but pretty close.

Got them as a gift for someone now I need a pair myself
Purchased these for my BF for Christmas & he absolutely loved them! They came literally so fast the next day. He says they sound way better than AirPods and they fit perfectly into your ears & don’t accidentally hang up calls

Holds tight during exercise
Let’s start with my background… I have probably used almost every type of headset imaginable… As a singer, I am used to the sound quality of wired studio, covers the whole ear headphones. As a businessman I often use wireless single ear with boom mike headsets to talk with clients… I have a whole drawer full of failed or failing headsets.The good news is, that during running or working out, these headsets hold on… Going upside down or running has no effect on keeping them in… On the other hand, if you do accidently bump them wrong, they will come out. On the other hand, there is, as part of the uploaded app, a [find your missing earpiece] button.Next is sound quality… in a word, FANTASTIC… I am completely impressed with the sound in a quiet environment, it sounds like you are outdoors. In an industrial environment, when a loud sound (like a compressor or chop saw) started, the automatic sound reduction works as well as can be expected for an in the ear device…I really appreciate that the actuator button on each ear is mechanical. I was able to answer the phone with heavy gloves on by simply bumping my ear with the back of my hand… (the front of the hand was all covered with grease)If you are working in a noisy environment and want to hear beautiful music, try wearing standard issue, full ear covering ear muffs over the buds… If the phone rings, I was able to answer using my smart watch but the ear muffs prevented the caller from hearing me!! Now I simply move to a quiet place, remove the earmuffs, and tap an ear with the back of my hand.WISH LISTSince Beats has a phone app loaded, it would be really nice if there was a sing-along mode.. The microphone would come on and optionally record the song on one track with my voice on another.

Hissing in microphone plus charging failure
EXPANDED REVIEWI wrote my original review (3 stars) a few weeks ago and now I’m expanding it due to recent problems and decreasing the star rating to 2 stars.ORIGINAL REVIEWThese are my first noise-canceling (NC) earphones. I’m taking a trip involving very small airplanes so baggage weight is important. I wondered whether these NC earphones could replace my Bose NC headphones. No. I’m sure it’s not a fair comparison but on a scale of 0 to 10 where my headphones merit a 9, these earphones get a 4. I tested in the bathroom with the (loud) fan running. It’s curious that when I turn off NC, the noise is louder than with no earphones in at all! The fan noise is somehow getting amplified through the earphones. But the NC issue is not as bad as the microphone hissing. I recorded myself on Zoom and consider these earphones unusable for that. There is a loud hiss accompanying my voice. I tried turning NC off to see if that had anything to do with it, but the hiss was still there. I sure wouldn’t want to hear that, so I won’t subject my friends to it. I’ll stick with my Powerbeats Pro earphones for use with Zoom. So what are these Beats Fit Pro earphones good for? Listening to music. And with the modicum of NC they do provide, I bet they’ll be good on bike rides. Not too much NC so you can still hear the traffic but they take the noise edge off so you can hear the music well without jacking the volume up. Plus, with my Powerbeats Pro, I’d have to unfasten my helmet strap in order to get them on. With the Beats Fit Pro, I won’t have to do that; I can just stick them in. Also, Duolingo doesn’t mind the microphone hiss, so I can use them for that and the modicum of NC is nice when my housemates are being noisy. (The microphone on my Bose headphones is so bad, it’s unusable.) Overall, I’m ok with this purchase. I’ll still bring the Bose on my trip, but these earphones will be preferred for some things I do.ADDENDUMI’m writing this a few weeks after the original review. A few days ago, I noticed that the right earbud went dead and would not charge. I thought it couldn’t be a seating problem the way there is with Powerbeats earphones because these Beats Fit Pro earphones snap into the case so assertively thanks to the magnets. But I pressed on the right earbud anyway and nope, no place to go. And things got worse. When I opened the case beside my iPad, there was no indication at all, no charge status, nothing, like the iPad wasn’t picking up any Bluetooth signal at all even though the case had been plugged into power all night. So I pressed the button to go into pairing mode. After a few seconds, the iPad detected the case. Right earbud 0% charge. So I plugged the case in yet again, starting to suspect that it was the case that was malfunctioning, not the earbud. A few hours later, the right earbud was up to 100%. Pressing the pairing button had somehow gotten the charging circuitry back on track. I used the earphones a lot, always noting the charge level on both as I put them away in addition to when I open the case to use them. Then yesterday I had a situation where I opened the case near the iPad, the detection dialog appeared showing the case was charged to 100% and the earbuds were charged to 100%. Then I pulled the right earbud out. When you do that, the dialog usually shows the charge status of each earbud. But in this case, it didn’t. It continued to show one earbud icon at 100%, as if there had only ever been the left earbud in the case, as if the right earbud had never been there. With the dialog still showing, I returned the right earbud to the case. It snapped in because of the magnet. No change to the dialog. I then pressed on the earbud and tried to wiggle it a little. I didn’t feel anything move but nevertheless, when I pulled the right earbud out again, the dialog finally showed two earbuds with the left at 100% and the right at 74% which is what I had put it away at the day before. So there’s definitely something wonky about the case. I’m glad I have Applecare but the geek in me wants to continue characterizing the problem. I wonder how widespread this is.

Better than the AirPods Pro? I definitely think so!
First off these are the first airpods I’ve owned, but not my first experience with airpods, and I must say that I made the right choice! I never quite liked the AirPods Pro… they’re not secure for sweaty people like me in workouts and I’m sure those white tips must get discolored with ear wax after a while (gross). Now the top 3 airpods right now are the airpods gen 3, AirPods Pro, and these bad boys (the beats fit pro)… my spouse has the Gen 3 (she got them after I ordered these) and I must say that they are more comfortable to use… you could keep those in all day and barely even feel them, and they’re pretty secure (at least in my ears), I’ve never actually worked out in them before though.The Beats are the most secure airpods you can buy no doubt though… no matter the ear size or shape, these guys aren’t going anywhere once you fix those wing tips. The wing tips though start to poke your ear after a while so you start to feel them after a couple hours. No big deal though… especially since you really don’t really need to use the wing tips unless you’re active. They stay in your ear pretty nicely in normal use without the wing tips… at that point, you can have them in almost all day no problem.The Sound quality tho… oh yea boiiiii!!! I’m no audiophile and I haven’t owned many truly wireless earphones in my life (I’m coming from the first generation Samsung Galaxy buds from my days on Android… new Apple member here)… but these things KICK! I can never really comfortably listen to anything beyond 3/4 volume and I hear everything clearly… mids, highs and lows… and those Lows (drools)… some truly head thumping bass (depending on the genre). I feel the music, especially in bass heavy tunes.This is also the first time I’m experiencing active noise cancelling, and trust me, it works… while it doesn’t block out all noise in the spectrum, it definitely blocks out most… it’s like you’re transported into your own little zone. It’s like I can’t do without it most times when I’m home or in an environment where my attention or awareness isn’t necessary and I can literally just “zone out” to another space.The battery also lasts forever! I pretty much charge them a couple times a week, and that’s with active noise cancelling turned on.To be fair though there are a couple of things to note: there is no wireless charging (I don’t really use that anyway)… it’s bad for the lifespan of your battery due to heat and is way slower than using a cable. The case also definitely feels cheap compared to the AirPods Pro and Gen 3. The cases for those are definitely a cut above… the case for the Beats has this little “creaky” wobble to it that’s unlike the usual tight tolerances and quality I’ve come to appreciate for apple products. The case is also a little bigger than the other AirPods, but it fits in my pockets daily just fine.All in all… it’s a top notch and feature rich pair of earbuds, and for my use where I value sound quality (deep base without sacrificing clarity or much balance), need a secure pair of earbuds for exercising, and the ability to hear my music over the world around me, these were definitely worth it. I can’t go anywhere without them… especially since it is baked into the apple ecosystem so I can seamlessly switch between my phone and iPad without even realizing it… like magic as usual.Trust mi! If you’re an active person… apple or android (most features work for both), get these and done.In closing I would definitely go for the AirPods Gen 3 though if you want something even more comfy, especially since they are cheaper. However, bare in mind that they are less secure in your ears and although they do sound pretty darn good, due to physics (they’re not in ear style earbuds) they won’t give you as great a seal and will not give you the sound quality of the Beats (but due to updated design they do give the AirPods Pro’s a run for their money)… you’ll also not get active noise cancelling and of course they only make sense to get if you have an iPhone.

These are LEGIT!!!
I read the reviews and made the decisions to buy a pair. I have always used Beats before so I knew the quality of sound. My biggest want was for them to fit my ears and be comfortable and also stay in. They do all that. Sound quality is great. I used them on a flight home and had a loud kid behind me. Noise cancellation worked great. They were comfortable and stayed nice and snug in my ears. I used the medium size ear pieces. The android app is easy to use. So I give them 5 stars. I liked them so much I bought my wife a pair. She likes them also. Now I did read a lot of the reviews and I have to say that everyone’s ears are different so if they dont fit right it may not be the product but your ears. If they don’t feel right, try something different. Again, I thing these are legit!

Better than my Previous earbuds but still hoped for better
These earbuds were definitely an upgrade from my previous ear buds However I feel like I was expecting the quality that I received when I 1st got them to last. Initially I felt like the sound was really rich and the base was more intense. I’ve been using them for a few months and feel like These ear buds were definitely an upgrade from my previous ear buds However I feel like I was expecting the quality that I received when I 1st got them to last. Initially I felt like the sound was really rich and the base was more intense. I’ve been using them for a few months And I feel like that has Diminish some. There’s no way to control the base that I have found So the sound is what it is. They’re still great but for the price I would expect to get a little more from beats.

Perfect earbuds for me
Perfect for casual, work, gym, and even driving (with transparency mode on, of course. Don’t use other modes when driving as it may make you unaware of surroundings). Noise cancellation is nice – if you’re working, you can just wear these, with noise cancellation mode on and no audio playing, so you can work free of most background noise. The best thing about these though is that they won’t fall out of your ears, because of the wings. Also, since this is a Beats product, which is owned by Apple, its functionality is likely to work properly for a long time, as Apple is known for making reliable devices that last a while – a major reason that I purchased this, since my former Samsung buds plus started having an issue in the long-term where the audio in one earbud was lower than the other. Hopefully these beats won’t let me down in the long-term like the buds did.There are only three small drawbacks to the beats, but I can live with them -1 – the discomfort caused by the wings after wearing for too long. However this is not huge issue for me as simply changing the angle/placement of the wing in my ear will make the discomfort go away. Also, over time your ears get used to the discomfort so you can withstand it for longer2 – no “spatial audio” on Samsung phone (or any Android device), which basically means you cannot hear stereo audio – any audio you listen to will have same audio in both earbuds. This means you won’t be able to hear left-right audio panning in any songs that have it, or if you’re a fan of ASMR, you won’t be able to hear the directions properly. This is alright for me, since I do have a Mac (spatial audio only works on Apple devices), so I can still listen to spatial audio.3 – when connecting to Samsung phone, sometimes it will take 5-10 seconds for the other earbud to connect. Weird but definitely not huge issue. Also happens on Mac, but much less often

Best Fit Earbuds
Beats Fit Pro, this is a very accurate name for these earbuds. For the last several years I have been searching for and bought many earbud models. Some expensive and some cheap. While most of them had good quality sound and noise cancelling, my number one issue with all of them was they would not stay snug in my ears. I found myself constantly pushing on the earbuds because they felt like they were falling out. Of course, when you press on them to push them back in, it stops the music or whatever you are listening to. I have finally found earbuds that have great noise cancelling, great quality sound (I am a casual listener as far as music, I am not a musician), the case is small compared to the Beats Pro case, the battery life is excellent, but the number one thing I like about these earbuds is they stay in my ears and never feel like they are falling out. I have walked with them on, jogged on my treadmill, rode my bike and not once did I ever have to push them in because I felt like they were falling out.I have seen some reviews from people that said, they cannot wear them for more than an hour or so because the wing tips hurt their ears. I have not found this to be the case. They are very comfortable to me. The longest I have worn these earbuds at one time is four hours. They are so comfortable, that at one point, I forgot I had them in my ears. And the best part beside the fit, I purchased these on a great deal from Amazon.

Great sound, comfortable to wear – not perfect but I like them
To get the best noise cancellation, required me to position the earbuds deeper into the ear which led to more discomfort for me. I found that a slightly firm fit gave about 90% of the noise cancellation that I get with other cheaper noise cancellation headphones. The more extreme fit would give me about 100% noise cancellation of the cheaper noise cancellation headphones. So I would say the noise cancellation does not come close to the performance of my Bose QC 35 (wired) nor the QC 45 (wireless). It makes enough difference to cut out some of the background noise so the music is the dominant sound and I can concentrate on my projects.A great feature is that you can wear either the right or the left individually and the other earbud stored in the case. I use this feature at night as I am a side sleeper. As I change sides, I can put in the required ear piece. One tap on the ear bud multi-button stops play. Another tap starts the play again. But, if you are only using one earbud the volume control and/or noise cancellation/transparent does not work. That might be worded a bit confusing: you have to pick your “long press command” to be either to change the noise cancellation mode or to change the volume. Once that is established with the app, you can only control at the ear buds what you set in the app (volume or noise cancellation). I have set my earbuds for volume control with long press (right increases, left decreases).The comfort is incredible and they are low profile enough to allow you to also wear sound proof ear protection muffs. I work with power tools and mow the lawn with complete comfort and no distortion of the music. My cheap noise cancellation headphones were so distorted with the mower that I could barely differentiate the music from the mower and there seemed to be some electrical interference. But with these Beats ear buds, the music was clear with no distortion. I was listening to Pandora on my phone.Charging is very easy on the fly with the case charging them up to 3 times before requiring the charging adapter plugged into the case.

They’re good
The case is a little large and feels cheap/loose. The earbuds are good but the noice cancellation is mediocre honestly. I came from wearing klipsch headphones that seal your ear and are incredibly noise canceling so that may be why. I also have a small head so these are kind of large on me and stick out and look a little funky. The ear fin stays in well and is great for running and physical activities but for general comfort it can become a little irritating after some time. Overall they’re pretty good and I’m happy with them, but if I could go back I might have opted for AirPods instead

Really do Stay in your ear
Earbuds STAY in my ear. I use these for work so I have hands-free, Earbuds definitely stay, I do alot of moving and physical work. Had other earbuds and all others come right off and these just stay. Sound wise I am gonna say that they are not the best for talking, that’s why the 4 star. Sometimes it’s not a clear sound but more like a digital sound, for music it’s a 5 star for me, the bass you actually feel it and voice is very clear. If only the talking part would be better these would definitely be a 5 star no doubt.

Good range of frequencies, low to high
I like a good bass sound to give my music a solid foundation from which to build on. If I hear a weak bass line, then it seems something is missing. I have the Soundcore ear buds and they deliver a good bass response, but the highs are sacrificed, or at least I didn’t realize this until getting the Beats Pro.I’m an Apple gadget guy, so after giving my wife my Apple AirPods Pro due to them constantly slipping out of my ear, I looked for another pair, with high reviews that had a ‘stem’ to help keep them in my ear. Hence when a sale happened on the Beats Pro ($159), I jumped at the buy.Now the sound is different than the Soundcore in that the frequency range is very distributed throughout. The bass is not as strong as what I’m used to, but I’ve come to appreciate that the highs are very clear, the mid-range is good for hearing voices and there is enough bass produced to give a thump to the tune.They are now my go to set of EarPods and I’ve found them quite comfortable with the stem and they do not fall out of my ears. Battery life is as good as others and the connectivity with my iPhone, iPad is very good. I like being able to control the podcast or music I’m playing simply by asking Siri to make the change. There are easy to press buttons in each piece to do things by it’s easier just asking Siri to do it for me.

High Quality Sound Listening to Music
These Beats ear buds are very good quality. I’ve used them on several plane rides listening to my iTunes Music and the sound quality is equal to or better than Bose buds. Also these Beats buds stay in the ear the first time inserting them and don’t slip out like iPhone buds. The battery life is very good – used them 2-3 hours on a plane and after putting in the case – still over 70% battery life. I’ve been a satisfied Bose customer for 20 years but got to admit these Beats buds are equally excellent. Very satisfied with them.

Great sound quality
I truly love these earbuds, they are so comfy that I have to check my ears to make sure they hadn’t fallen out. In addition, I wear these just about all day long and only have to adjust a cpl times a day … the reason for the 4 stars is the charging case seems to be a little on the cheap side … I just wish they had a longer battery life of continuous play per earbud but on the other hand, they do charge fast. Would buy again… make sure to splurge for the AppleCare+

4/5 Earbuds
Not a bad product. Shipping was fast so didn’t have any issues getting mine. I used to have the Samsung Galaxy earbuds which I gave it to wife since she needed one to use for when we go to the gym. I got these because of the great reviews. I tried them on and noticed the sound was good but not great in my opinion. I had to raise the volume to almost max just to get the sound I prefer to cancel out the noise in the gym. For about an hour or so my ear started to hurt, these aren’t that comfortable. The galaxy earbuds in my opinion were much comfortable than these. The case also felt kind of cheap I wish it matched the quality of the Samsung ones.Overall for the price I wish the noise, comfort, and case were better quality. Will probably consider other options in the future when I get tired of these or when better products hit the market. But I guess for now these will do. It does get the job done, which is play my music when I’m at the gym and stay working as I sweat. The reason why I got these haha.

Great headphones
I had Apple air pods and NEVER used them bc they were always falling out!! These stay in your ear… after several hours my ear can get a little sore but that’s to be expected.Sound quality is great….. wish the volume went a little louder. Starts to distort a little at full volume! I LOVE the ability to answer a call hands free. Switching back and forth between my car and the ear piece with just a tap is great when I’m delivering. I don’t need to miss good songs now I transfer to my ear and deliver the pizza!I love them, they’re $20 less now than when I bought them… GRRRR…… but still worth the money!!! Birthday gift to myself!!

Not bad, but not great
I love the compact charging case, and the magnetic snap into place makes sure its seated correctly. On the down side, it’s a bit awkward, and none of the three sizes fits quiet right. The noise canceling feature is okay, but drains the battery faster, so I usually turn it off, because it can barely make it to lunch without having to put them back on the case to charge. The charging however is pretty quick, so leaving them to charge while I have lunch is enough to get them to last to the rest of the work day. The app tends to crash when switching noise canceling modes, and the eartip fit test doesn’t work due to the app crashing.

Don’t know who Kim Kardashian or Dre are, but these are great earbuds.
Who is Kim Kardashian? Dre? I looked them up and almost didn’t get these because of them – especially Kim. Would have been a mistake. These are great ear buds. They fit well, don’t fall out easily, sound is great, noise cancellation ok (on par with Apple’s, but not as good as Bose (expensive)). Just bought a second pair to keep for computer use.Much better than Apple’s product and cheaper too.

Great for Runs
I have very small ears & finding a pair of earbuds that are snug fit while I’m running is not easy. I absolutely love these! Sound quality is great, noise cancellation modes that you can toggle right from the earbuds while wearing is awesome, love that I can wear just 1 if I want while running with a group so I can keep 1 ear open & still use features is the best, they don’t move around and the charge is super fast in the case for long runs. Also comfortable enough to wear for long days on the beach listening to music or flights & have a great battery life. Highly recommend.

Great for three gym
Snug fit. I am active and can be sweaty in the gym. Thought I could only use pod with a behind the ear hook… I was wrong. These are amazing, very comfortably and snug, even during burpees.Noise cancellation improves sound quality and filters out background noise, or turn it off to hear you gum partner while listening to music at the same time.

Simple, comfortable, minimalist, SOUND GREAT
I’ll save you the time so you don’t have to read countless reviews of all the hundreds of earbuds out there.These are perfect in every way. Worth every penny.1. They sync so easily with iPhone and Mac. I literally take them out of the case, and I’m connected every time.2. The sound is incredible. You can even toggle easily to change the sound and pick up more base right from your earbud.3. The little wing slides right under the crease in your ear, making them fit so comfortably. I even started wearing them around my house rather than using speakers at home because they’re so comfy and sound so good.4. And lastly, it’s super easy to skip songs or go back, or answer a call, just by pressing it. Super simple. Clean comfortable, minimalist.If you’re on the fence, get ‘em— they won’t disappoint.

Perfect balance for Apple and my Samsung phone
I needed earbuds for my computer. Tried a $30 pair and they cut out with both my mac and Samsung phone. Meetings are clear at home and the coffee shop. My coworkers can’t even hear busy mornings. When on walks they stay firmly in place without any soreness. Certainly the most well round earbuds I’ve owned. The case charges quickly and the buds (even with incredibly long life on a charge) also charge quickly.

Love love love these
My ears are small and these are a great comfy fit. AirPods usually fall out my ears so tried these and love them. Sound qualify if great. Noise cancellation is awesome and of course I had to purchase my favorite color. I highly recommend these especially if you have small ears like me.

Best buds for the gym by a mile – better than Airpods Pro
These buds add perfectly to IOS and they even have their own app built in by default. Probably the same guts as the Airpods Pro? The sound is on par with Airpods Pro but the fit is better by virtue of this little flange that fits just underneath one of the outer folds in your ear.It’s been almost impossible for me to find a pair of buds that stay in my head when running or lifting, but these do. Totally worth the $200 when you consider how much utility they provide, day after day. Totally impressed with these. Recommended!

My husband absolutely loves these!
I bought these for my husband, for Christmas and he absolutely loves them! As far as the packaging goes everything looked perfect! He says the noise cancellation is better than his second gen air pods but there is a mode where you can still here people. He seems to be thrilled!

Absolutely the best I’ve had in a long time
I don’t know about any of the negative reviews but these are perfect. I have small ears so finding a fit that isn’t always falling out is a problem. These are perfect with the notch. No ear pain or falling out. Noise canceling is pristine, you hear nothing else and when talking others hear you Crystal clear. The case is sturdy and battery life is excellent. I highly recommend these.

JUST BUY THEM ❤️
I have bought all the air pods on the market and finally decided to try these. OMGEEEE the fit in these are much more secure in your ear and the sound quality is SUPERIOR… if you’re a music junkie you will be amazed by the sound quality !

Noise cancellation wasn’t as good as Bose I had prior
I bought these to sleep with at night but the noise canceling was not adequate for blocking out noises. Otherwise it is a good product and fit my ears well.

Worth the money!
I really love the color. They hold charge well before these I had the AirPods Pro max and they don’t compare to the beats. Better comfort, longer battery life, and easy controls on ear piece.

Would Give 5 Stars *Except*…
Really a 4.5 Star rating – Best sound quality I’ve encountered, love the gentle press to accept and end calls. The only reason that I’m deducting 1/2 a star is because the smallest ear tips are still a little too big which makes the buds fall out of my ears unless I really jam them in…and I don’t have freakishly small ear holes.

Ideal earbuds!
Love these!I have a pair of AirPods Pro, and although they’re great earbuds, I really struggle to keep them in my ears. I thought these Beats Fit Pro earbuds might be a good trade-off, and they really are!The noise cancellation on the Beats Fit Pro feels so much better than with the AirPods, because the wings keep these earbuds secure in my ear for better isolation. The sound quality, itself, is great, albeit perhaps with a bit more bass than the AirPods–because these are Beats, after all. The battery life is long enough that I don’t have to think about it, and the color selections are great.The wings really do lock these into my ears. With the AirPods Pro, I struggled to carry a conversation without my jaw movement causing the earbuds to fall out. With the Beats Fit Pro, I could easily exercise without worry.My only complaint is that I wish the case had wireless charging.

WHAT ARE THOSE!?
Yo! It’s your awkward failing gaming youtuber TalesOfArk, here for another random review!Like seriously, what are theses, and why are they so good?! Growing up my family couldn’t afford defend earphones, so I usually get the ones from the $5 dollar store or the cheap JLabs or the SkullCandy ones, which usually sound barely ok. Fast forward to now, these sound amazing! Like I’m so impressed, these literally open a whole new world for me. Especially when putting them on, everything around me goes silent. Which is crazy considering I have a kid, 2 chihuahua that literally barks at everything, and a fan that’s always on 24/7. I could hear none of it, except for my music. The sound quality is also really great, I guess all those people talk about beats weren’t just deserving. As for the battery life, I can’t say too much, since I usually wear em when I’m driving somewhere, shopping, or walking my dog, which isn’t usually a long period, but they’re great for what I’m using them for! My only complaint is that it seems to struggle connecting to a window pc, it could connect sometimes, but then it would drop connection, while other time it does keep the connection, but the sound coming thru is stuttering, breaking in and out. Other then that, great buy! I love these.

Work great but don’t fall asleep with them in
Work wonderfully. Only draw back is the small seam on the top of the bud. It’s scratches my ear if I put it in at the wrong angle. It actually cut a spot on my ear after I fell asleep with one in. Don’t know if it just me having a weird ear or if others have had an issue with it irritating or cutting the ears as well

Very nice air buds
I initially purchased the Jabra 85 which would not stay in my ears. I then purchased the Jabra 75 elite which had different ear tips. Same problem. I do not have this problem with the Beats Fit Pro, They stay in my ears very nicely, sound quality is equal to Jabra. I do wish they would have included a button for volume control. You can change this in the software, but I believe you lose the noise cancellation button feature in exchange. In the alternative, you can use Siri to turn the volume up and down, but this is inconvenient if on a phone call. Taking one star away for the volume control issue.

Great Replacement for Airpods Pro
I replaced my lost Airpods Pro with these and I’m very happy. I love how much better they fit my ear and the little tab that keeps them from falling out when I move works great.I’ve had them a couple of months and so far the batter lasts way longer than the Airpods batter did.I’m loving them!

Sound great, stay put, but really not for those with small ears
My past pair of airpods pro got totally destroyed in the wash, so I wanted to take a chance and see if there were any earbuds better than them for me. Heard a lot of good things about this pair, several review outlets (including the New York Times) include the beats fit pro (BFP) as essentially the best possible earbuds you can get right now. I honestly can see what they mean, they have a lot going for them, but one fatal flaw (in my case) that made me end up returning them. Even though they are such small earbuds, they are just too big for my ears! I consider myself an audiophile, I have quite small ears, and I use headphones for easily 5-7 hours a day whether that is on calls or listening to music/voice. I’m very picky about the tech I use, so whenever I stick with something it really has to be good.Here’s what I’ve found in general for the things that were important to me, in particular in comparison to the AirPods Pro since that is what I was comparing them against ultimately:- The audio quality is *slightly* better. I found there is more separation in the instruments for both classical and pop-esque/modern music. There is a very appreciated increase in “oomph” and resonance from the bass with these headphones that I often found myself missing with the airpods pro. The BFP have that going for them.- The wing tips and overall design really helps them stay put. Because of my small ears, if I want to/try to I can usually wiggle earbugs out of my ears just by opening my mouth or chewing, but these really stayed put.- Unfortunately, they really are too big for my small ears. I’ve included a picture of the smallest earbud size on the BFP and the airpods pro for comparison, and there really is (to me) a significant difference. The BFP would become uncomfortable after just 10-20 minutes, then I would get used to it, then once I took them out my ears would start hurting again. Seems like they essentially made my ears numb to the pressure, but afterward it was quite uncomfortable.- Just for comparisons sake, the smallest airpods pro tip fits *perfectly* in my ears, and doesn’t put any undue pressure anywhere. I can use them easily for working out, etc. This, along with the apparent higher call quality from the AirPods Pro made me stick with them again. If the beats fit more comfortably, I would have gone with them because I like that they are newer, the auto on-off worked better, longer battery life, and more satisfying audio quality.- a couple other notes: the ANC of the BFP is noticably worse than the airpods pro for me, but the really high quality transparency modes are about the same between the two.Those are my thoughts, returned these and went with AirPods Pro, since they still work *very* well, are very comfortable, and fit my particular needs quite nicely.

Life Changing Headphones
I cannot express how much I love these headphones. I have been searching for cordless noise cancelling headphone for YEARS and have bought so many pairs, these are by far my favorite. I would even say they are life changing for me. I have TMJ issues, so heavy duty headphones that cover the ears are not an option for me. But I really wanted something that worked with Bluetooth so I didn’t feel tethered by needing to plug it in. These are it.I have found other wireless headphones in the past that worked ok, but they would either be too loud, or wouldn’t cancel noise very much. These cancel most noise (not all) but most background noise *i.e. dishwasher, heater blowing, fridge making noises, cars racing by on the street* is drowned out quite a bit. The also have settings to allow the noise to be more transparent if desired.When I remove one headphone it auto-pauses what I’m watching or listening to. They also hurt my ears less than the other brands I’ve bought in the past. The pair easily with any bluetooth enabled device I’ve tried them with – my phone, laptop, and iPads. The fit comfortably in my ear and are easy to clean with a cloth. Best of all, their volume actually goes low enough so that it doesn’t hurt my ears. On some other ones I’ve bought in the past, they are so loud even at the lowest volume that they hurt me to use.They are a little expensive but they are worth every penny.

Just buy them!
I love these! I questioned getting them because I’ve never owned a pair of wireless headphones… but I love them! I would wear these at work where there would be music blaring and I couldn’t hear anything. Not even someone trying to talk to me right next to me. The battery life lasts a long time. I haven’t fully pushed it to it’s limits yet. The case is a little cheap.. but you can always replace it with a better one online. I don’t mind it. I love them and highly suggest these to anyone.

So far so good
I am so much happier with these than the AirPod pros. Sounds is amazing and fit is great. They haven’t fallen out of my ear yet as the AirPods constantly did. My only complaint is the part that helps secure the pods in my ear just get a little tender after a long listening session, but it might just be my ears. Overall very happy with them
Emily Anderson –
Love them
East to use and set up, stay in ears even while doing a run or HIIT with burpees/mountain climbers/etc. Make my ears a bit sore if I wear them for a long time (2 hours). Only think I don’t like is they aren’t set to control volume on buds (you have to change the volume on your phone). Pressing the buds can pause/skip/answer/hang up. Small thing and I would buy again!

They fit, but the wing tips hurt my ears after about 10 minutes
I love so much about these little earbuds. They connect seamlessly to all of my apple devices. The phone calls are very clear both ways, for me and the person I’m calling. The sound quality is incredible. I first tried the Studio Buds, but they would fall out of my ear too easily. If I smiled, laughed, if I ate anything, moved my jaw at all, they would start to slip out of my ears. So, I liked the idea of these Beat Fit Pros because of the wing tips. Seemed like it would be more secure in my ear, and it really is. Now, the problem is that the wing tips really hurt my ear after wearing them for even 10-15 minutes. My ear was literally red from how sore that little piece of rubber/silicone. I went for a pair of the Raycon earbuds with the little wing tips instead, and they fit SO MUCH BETTER. The are the perfect fit and they don’t fall out, but the technology is nothing even close to Beats. I’m so torn, because I want to love my Beats earbuds, but they are extremely uncomfortable to wear for any length of time. Perhaps I should try the buds with the wrap-around-the-ear thing…? I just don’t like how those ones look, and I’m afraid they’ll be much more noticeable wrapping all the way around my ear like that. Or maybe these wing tips will soften up over time…? Conundrum.

Best wireless noise cancelling earbuds I have used so far
I am a long-time user of the Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones. These are my favorite noise cancelling option to use while taking walks. I like to listen to audio books while walking and the QuietComfort 20 are superb for this use. I also like to use a noise cancelling option while listening to audio books and podcasts in the car, especially because my car does not contain road noise well. I decided I would like to have a second QuietComfort 20 reserved for use in my car. An additional advantage to having a second one is if anything happens to the one I walk with, I’ll have a backup. But, unfortunately, Bose discontinued the QuietComfort 20 forcing me to have to find another option for use in the car.I first purchased the wireless Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. But I found much to dislike about them. They feel heavy in the ears; the buds themselves just feel heavier and less comfortable than the QuietComfort 20 Headphones. I also disliked that every time I put the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds into my ears they speak to me telling me they are trying to connect to my device and also reporting battery state. I found this incredibly annoying. Another thing I hugely disliked was that there is an uncomfortable “boom boom” sensation as I walk with them in. I wear Vibram FiveFinger shoes and do not walk with a heavy gait. I do not get this “boom boom” sensation when walking with the QuietComfort 20 headphones. I also disliked how big the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds’ case was. I disliked how the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds sometimes felt like they weren’t secure in my ears and when I would try to adjust their stability I would accidentally change the noise cancellation setting. On two occasions, an uncomfortable high pitched sound emitted from one of the buds; it only lasted for a couple seconds but it was annoying. I tried using the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds for a month and never could bring myself to like them, so I returned them. I now have a strong dislike for Bose, primarily because they discontinued my beloved QuietComfort 20 Headphones. But up until recently, I was a huge Bose fan.I purchased Apple AirPods Pro. I immediately fell in love with the H1 chip operation. But I didn’t like the color white. I also didn’t like the stalk that extends down. But I started using them thinking I had found my noise cancelling option for the car. And although the AirPods Pro delivered some “boom boom” sensation while walking, it was much much better than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. Then I started to become aware of a huge problem with the AirPods Pro. They would not stay in my ears. I would place them in ear, hear the noise cancellation activate and then in time the noise cancellation would turn off because one of the pods had pushed out of my ear enough to cause the noise cancellation function to disengage. I found myself constantly having to push them into my ear in an effort to keep them from pushing out. A couple times they plain fell out of my ears. I consulted instructionals on how to properly insert them into my ears for proper fit. I also did the fit test and passed the test indicating I had good seal. Only the seal wouldn’t last and the pods would eventually push out of my ears. So I had to return the AirPods Pro because they wouldn’t stay in my ears.I purchased some non noise cancelling earbuds thinking that a passive seal would be enough, but I found a number of problems with this option. I didn’t like shoving thing way into my ear. Not only was it a little uncomfortable, but I also wondered about the sanitariness of touching (e.g., foam inserts) prior to shoving them into my ear. Maybe this could lead to ear infection? Also, the amount of sound isolation was too good which diminished my situational awareness while walking and/or driving. So passive noise block earbuds weren’t solving my use need.I was worried there was no option for the car and I would not have a backup to my beloved QuietComfort 20 headphones. I really wish I could buy another pair of QuietComfort 20 headphones just to have a backup for the future. After delaying and delaying, I decided to go to the trouble to try one last option for the car: the Beats Fit Pro. Eureka!The Beats Fit Pro are fantastic! They have the H1 chip, which is awesome. They fit and feel way better than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and are super secure in my ears, unlike the AirPods Pro. The Beats Fit Pro feel so light to wear. I can wear them all day and there is no discomfort. They also have a button to cycle through the noise cancellation options, which I like a lot better than the tapping that was needed on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. I also like the button press on the Beats Fit Pro better than the stalk-squeeze on the AirPods Pro.The one edge that I might say the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have over the others is the noise cancellation. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds arguably provide more intense noise cancellation that results in more of a bass presence and a sense that the content being played is closer to you. However, there is a cost to this that I don’t think is worth it. The biggest cost for me was the “boom boom” sensation while walking. I don’t know exactly what is to blame for this but it completely ruins the earbuds for what I want to use them for. I found the fit and noise cancellation of the Beats Fit Pro to be better suited to my needs.I wrote this to help others in their quest to find the earbuds that work best for them. I strongly recommend giving the Beats Fit Pro a try. I like them a lot. I think many others will too.ADDENDUM (added 2022-NOV): My beloved wired Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones stopped working a few weeks ago. I purchased the wired Bose Headphones many, many years ago and used them a lot, so it was not unexpected. Fortunately, the Beats Fit Pro have been able to replace the wired Headphones for my daily walks. The Beats Fit Pro have minimal “boom boom” sensation while stepping/walking. Although the Beats Fit Pro have more “boom boom” than the wired Bose Headphones, the “boom boom” is minimal and much, much better than offered by the wireless Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. I have been using the Beats Fit Pro in cold weather lately and discovered that the physical side button on the Beats Fit Pro works fantastically when wearing a hat. For example, if I am wearing a thick knit winter hat, I can still activate the side button on the Beats Fit Pro by pushing on the outside of the hat. This can’t be done with a touch-operation “button” like found on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. The AirPods Pro “button” might be more difficult to operate with a hat on too. So if you are intending to use earbuds under a hat or hood, Beats Fit Pro will give you the advantage of still having full, easy use of the side button for play/pause operation from outside the hat.

Good for Apple ecosystem – not fully convinced at price point
Pros: comfy for in-ear buds, especially for physical activity, works really nicely with Apple’s ecosystem including spatial audio, noise cancellation is very good as is transparency mode, sound quality is decent, can use one bud at a time if desired, USB-C charging. Cons: no multipoint connectivity, no wireless charging, water resistance rating lower than many other earbuds, battery life is barely adequate (both buds and charging case), outgoing audio voice quality is also just adequate.These are good earbuds, no question. But there are some maddening features skipped here that appear on much less expensive Bluetooth products. I still don’t understand why Apple’s Bluetooth audio products don’t include multipoint connectivity, even within their own ecosystem. My ancient Plantronics ear piece and my Bose headphones have had multipoint for years, and lack of it is really annoying when using the Beats for work purposes. Lack of wireless charging is less a concern for me, but is annoying at this price point if you’ve invested in the technology. The outgoing voice quality is probably fine for the form factor of the Beats, but it does sound like a telephone call when using Teams or Zoom rather than high quality audio. Biggest bug for me is these won’t make it through a full eight hour day of calls without a recharge, and the case only holds enough charge for 35 hours of use. I have a pair of Anker Life Dot 2s that are 5.5x less expensive with a 100 hour case that isn’t really any bigger. I realize many other buds won’t hit that eight hour mark either, so maybe it’s a complaint about the form factor.The sound quality is fine considering the Bluetooth codec used by Apple (either source or headphone) isn’t high def or even CD quality, despite what Apple might want you to think with the inclusion of spatial audio capability on the Beats. The drivers on the Beats are certainly acceptable for most users and given the mission and price point of the Beats, it’s about as good as anybody should expect. There’s room for improvement, but not much more without moving up in price or a change in codec use by Apple.One thing I did expect was a better water resistance rating. IPX4 is a little weak considering iPhones are at IP67.What I do really like is the noise cancellation (and transparency mode done well) of the Beats. Really works well. The earbuds are very comfortable to wear and get a good seal. The ear wings hold the earbuds in the ear without turning uncomfortable. Love the Apple ecosystem integration – these connect very easily with simple adjustments to iPhone and MacBook Pro alike.If you like the idea of AirPods Pro that fit better and stay in your ear more securely, you’ll probably like these. Again, for the price, these seem to hit most marks for what they are, which is a sort of Jack-of-all-trades Bluetooth earbud. Be sure to shop around if you value one specific element over another, like audio quality or battery life.

Better than you think!!
(no compensation received for this review)I spent some time before I wrote a review because I had a hard time adapting to these over my Bose. Bose has undoubtedly the most comfortable ear tips. These were not initially comfortable and hurt my ears after long use.The fit – if you stick with it and let your ears adapt a bit, you will be fine (few weeks). I can wear these until they die during days with conference calls without a problem. I’ve ran a half marathon, cycled, rowed thousands of meters and never need to adjust them. They just stay.The connection – these just connect to everything without any hassle. I always had problems with my Bose where I was constantly struggling to get them to connect. The beats use the same tech as the Airpods Pro and connect.ANC – the noise cancelling is amazing. They might not be industry leading, but they are amazing IMO. Even on a plane they block out everything and I could watch movies or listen to music without ever hearing announcements.Sound – I think these sound much better than my Bose. The entire sound profile sounds so rich. Capitalizing on Apple’s spatial audio tech, these have the same great sound stage as the Airpods Pros, but remain in place no matter what I’m doing.Battery life – can use these for hours without incident. I use them a lot for conference calls because of the noise cancelling and mic quality and they last for about 5 hours. Calls are the only way I was able to kill them. I popped them back in the case for 15-20 minutes and I was able to keep working without incident. The battery life with regular music is amazing. Recently had an 8 hour travel day and they still had 30% with almost constant use.I recommend these if you want something other than Bose. I can’t compare to Sony, but I suspect they are as good. I bought Airpods Pros and were amazed with the tech but had to return because they constantly fell out. These are the swiss army knife of headphones for me and do everything well. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Very good fitness earbuds
I got these earbuds for three reasons: I wanted something sweat-proof that would stay put on my finicky ears regardless of what kind of fitness training I’m doing, I wanted to have the same functionality as my Airpod pros, and I wanted to have a second pair of earbuds with a long-lasting battery for those end-to-end meetings days, where my Airpods just don’t last long enough.This purchase pretty much fulfills my needs quite nicely: The Beats Fit Pro fit my ears snuggly, and so far I have not been able to shake them off at all; not even make the budge a bit; and yet, they’re amazingly comfortable. They’re very unobtrusive, even when lying down on my side and pressing my arm against my ear.The sound is very good, and while I have not really taxed the battery to the max yet, it does seem to last quite a long time. The specs say that each charge will last 6 hours, and I’m willing to believe it.The charger box is beautifully designed, and the earbuds fall into place with a very satisfying magnetic click, which ensures that the do not move from the box even if the box falls down with the lid open (great news for those who keep losing their earbuds!).The fact that I was able to get these for about $50 less than the Airpods Pro was a definite plus.As far as Apple compatibility is concerned, these work as advertised: instant recognition by all my Apple devices, smoothly switching from MacBook to iPhone to iPad; spatial sound, Find My – it all works.On the score-reduction side, I found it disappointing that the box does not charge wirelessly. Not a big deal, but it’s just one of those little comfort details.The sound, while quite good, is definitely noticeably less crisp than with the Airpods. There seems to be a bit more emphasis on the bass, and a slight muffling of the sharp end that made feel less that thrilled with the output.Probably the most disappointing aspect is the active noise cancellation. It is there, it works, but it is far, far less effective than that provided by the Airpods Pro. I haven’t had the opportunity to test them in something like an airplane yet, but just walking around the house and neighborhood, I can clearly hear a lot of noises that are almost completely drowned by the Airpods. This even after trying the different silicone pad sizes and ensuring that the noise cancellation test indicated a “perfect” seal.I would, therefore, not recommend these for demanding audiophiles, or those seeking a deep isolation experience. But for the purpose I got them, as good, reliable, comfortable fitness earbuds, they’re perfect.

MUST BUY if you need a good mic
I use these earbuds lightly as a mostly listen to music/podcasts in my car but I do use these every day and when I do, I don’t regret it. I have an iphone 14 pro and when I take these out of the case, they connect to my phone INSTANTLY. I don’t use these to exercise but I’m sure if I did they would be very secure in my ears. I usually use these for about 10-30 mins at a time to quickly watch/listen to something privately. There’s an exception to that though: I work remote at a call center 2 days a week, and use these earbuds to talk to and hear customers. I have gotten 0 complaints. In fact, when I tried using one of those trucker headsets, the customer said they could barely hear me then I switched to these and the customer said they could hear me MUCH better. I used to have the original airpod pros and I had to yell for customers to hear me but with these I can hear customers perfectly and I can talk normally with no issues.Noise cancelling: I don’t use it for 2 reasons. 1-I don’t need it. I’m most scenarios, it’s important for me to be able to hear what’s around me so I almost always use transparency. 2-The noise cancelling is horrible. I can easily hear outside sounds, it’s barely different than using no mode at all.TLDR:If you take phone calls a lot with earbuds-buy these, they have a great mic and audio. If you have an iphone, buy these. If you don’t need noise cancelling, buy these.

One of the best in-ear GYM earbuds for a non-iPhone user
I searched for a long time to replace my Powerbeats 3, and these were what I decided on. I l need my music LOUD at the gym but don’t want a bulky set of over-ear headphones, and these do the trick. Compared to my Pixel Buds, these get twice as loud, and compared to my Powerbeats 3, these get louder as well. The sound is the typical bass-forward profile all beats are, but not overwhelming. My gym visits consist mostly of EDM and some rap, but the sound profile listening to country or lofi is still very balanced and enjoyable.I was initially hesitant to commit to a pair that has Apple’s tech inside, but I found that they have released an app on the android play store that allows you 99% of the same configuration that an iPhone user has. I can confirm that the connectivity with my Pixel 6 Pro is flawless.The noise canceling for such a low-profile set of buds is astonishing- especially after daily driving Pixel buds and Powerbeats 3, both of which have zero noise canceling tech in them.The fit is great, again, compared to my Pixel buds that constantly fall out; I rarely have to readjust these. The hook that pushes into the crook of your ear keeps them firmly in place.Once I took a fine-point sharpie to the red lettering, the black-on-black combo matched the low-profile look I strive for.Battery life is also fantastic. The case holds a ton of charges. I can go more than seven workouts, an hour each, without having to plug in.I would be cautious to use these for use on long flights or other leisurely activities as their tight fit isn’t the most comfortable over 3+ hours. A more comfortable over-ear set would be the better move.

I LIKE THEM, but It’s because it’s what I was looking for
A 4 star rating is very fair for these, I wish I could give them a 4.5 though. While searching for new earbuds, I had three things that I was looking for. If you aren’t looking for what I was, which it can be 50/50, then you may be better off going with another option (Like Bose).Grip, Comfortability, and Ease of Use.In terms of Grip, I wanted a pair of earbuds that would stay on my ear. If I were to go for a run, work out, or play basketball I wanted earbuds that would rarely or never fall out. I had recently had a pair of the AirPods Pro, and they DID NOT workout for me, as they would fall out of my ear VERY EASILY. With the Beats Fit Pro, the little wing tip that goes on the inner part of your ear, aside from the actual earbud that goes inside of your ear, actually provides GREAT grip, and I’ve been able to do my workouts without these falling off. I also thing that since these earbuds DO NOT STICK OUT OF YOUR EAR as much as a BOSE or AirPods Pro do, that it adds more grip to stay on your ear.In terms of comfortability, this should be fairly straight forward. I’ve had cheap earbuds were after an hour or so of wearing them, your ear starts to get very sore. So much so, that it even hurt to take them off. So far, the Beat Fit Pro earbuds have been pretty good so far. I played around with the different size earbuds that they provide, and have found the size for me. I did noticed that, you have to play around with how they fit in your ear in order to get that “perfect fit” we are all looking for. When I first put them on, I had to rotation the earbud and play around with where the wing tip would go, before I found the spot that works for me. I just recently went on a 4 hour flight, and throughout the whole trip, my ear did not get sore.Regarding the Ease of Use, it was very simple to connect the Beats, and it is also very simple to change the settings from Noise Canceling, to Transparency, to turning both of those off if you wish. You do not need to download an app or anything, which is amazing for me as I hate the earbuds where you need to download an app and create an account, etc. I give this a 5/5.Now, there are things that are not the best when it comes to the Beats Fit Pro, that I think other earbuds will work better.Sound, and Noise Cancelation.I would give the sound a 3.5/5. It is not the loudest, doesn’t have the best bass, and it’s not the most profound. What I mean by profound, is those headphones in which you can hear every sound that goes into a certain beat. This is where I think, that if an amazing sound is all you care about, then going with a Bose might be better for you. At it’s loudest volume, the Beats Fit Pro are really not that loud. I’ve had headphones were you can’t stay on the loudest volume because it’s simply just to loud. It’s kind of the opposite with the Beats. The loudest they go, is about how I like them when I listen to music.Now, the Noise Cancelation on the Beats Fit Pro DOES WORK. I tried them in my house, and had some of my friends talk to me, and I really could not hear a word they were saying. I like that in the Beats Fit Pro, it is VERY EASY to turn the Noise Canceling feature off. HOWEVER, when in a relatively medium sounding environment, the Beats Fit Pro, won’t fully block out all the sound. Even worse, if you are in a large sounding environment, you will 100% be able to hear everything going on. This most likely has to do with the lack of sound that I was explaining on the previous paragraph. I feel that if the sound was louder and more profound on the Beats, the Noise Cancelation would be much better.If you happen to read my long description, I hope this help!

Compared to 4 other Earbuds…
I bought these earbuds along with 4 other pairs, with the intent of comparing them over a couple weeks and returning all but my favorite. Here were the results:Beats Fit Pro – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JL65GNM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – These buds had some great base, and the wingtip gave them a fit that made them refuse to fall out of my ears. But the best feature? Physical “clicky” buttons on each one of the buds. You press in and hear/feel the click, rather than relying on a touchscreen-like feature. No need to guess if you tapped them once or twice, you will know.Cons – The wingtip gives a very sturdy fit, but not the most comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with smaller ears. The noise canceling was solid, but nothing special. And this may be picky, but I didn’t care for most of the color schemes available. I prefer my earbuds to be hard to notice, and even the black ones have a bright red letter “b” in the middle.Beats Studio Buds – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096SV8SJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Very comfortable with the same great physically “clicky” buttons as the Beats Fit Pro. Noise canceling seemed slightly better than average. Great base. Classic look.Cons – Tested during a workout, a little bit of sweat had these sliding right out of my ear. The case for these earbuds also was the flimsiest of any I had tested, with a very weak hinge that I was scared of breaking off within the 2 weeks of using.Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWZHHKP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – A neat feature that I noticed only in these earbuds was that it had noise amplification as well as noise cancelation. With one swipe in the app, the surrounding sound was actually louder and clearer than it would be without the earbuds in. Great if you are hard of hearing, or just enjoy snooping on conversations out of reach.Cons – Similar to the Beats Studio Buds, these didn’t stay in during a workout. They were usable, but every 10 minutes I found myself pushing them back into my ear. And this is an opinion, but these are the ugliest earbuds out of the bunch. The shiny black gleam made it look like a large beetle was hanging out in my ear. No visible brand placement either, which makes them appear cheap and generic rather than the quality Samsung they are.Samsung Galaxy Buds Live – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TBM1L3S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Cost effective! I added these to the test group because of the unique shape, and for that they are worth giving a try. If you have small ears and do not like the rubber insert that is standard in most other earbuds, these may be perfect for you.Cons – Poor fit for large ears. These were tested the least of all of the buds, because the fit was so bad for my ear shape that they wouldn’t stay in if I turned my head too fast.Bose QuietComfort – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4KWM9T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Bose noise canceling is unmatched. If your primary use for earbuds is to cancel out that background white noise, this is the pair for you. The sound quality is great, not too heavy on the base. The case for the earbuds stood out from the rest as the only one that impressed me. Felt very study, and I had no worries tossing it into a gym bag or cup holder. The only case with a button latch to make sure it doesn’t open accidentally.Cons – This was the most expensive pair of earbuds by a longshot, and there were still some things I felt could be improved. The rubber inserts had more of a “flayed” shape rather than the “rounded” shape that is standard. My guess is that this was by design, because the earbuds were also slightly heavier than others and may need that extra in-ear grip. The flayed shape did make them sturdier, but at the cost of them being uncomfortable in an active situation. They were also the largest earbuds, and stuck out from the side of my head further than I would have liked.My favorite? The beats fit pro! While I wouldn’t recommend this pair for everyone, it was perfect for my routine. My music taste benefits from the boosted base, and the wingtip shape was perfect for any workouts. The feature that really convinced me was the physical buttons, something that I didn’t realize how desperately I needed.

Best sports earbuds.
I was extremely surprised by the sound quality of these earbuds without any help from a EQ from the app, although I have a third party EQ app that is nothing but the truth with the high volume and superior sound quality these earbuds bring I don’t have to use it, I have a android phone so I don’t get all the features the H1 chip provides, I’m good with that mainly because I only care about sound which these sounds a lot better than the new Bose QC , Sony S link, Jabra elite 7, and a whole host of others, JBL and Soundcore is still my favorite earbuds however the Beats fit pro is right there to whole it’s own as far as sound quality, noise cancellation, ambient sound, volume, battery life is solid, they feel very light in my ears and they stay in place without me having to adjust them, the only thing I wish they could do is give you full control of all the features on the earbuds, meaning if you want volume on the ear control, you can’t have noise cancellation and ambient control on the earbuds, it’s either one or the other, I prefer to have the noise cancellation on mine because I can control the volume on my phone, at first I thought my earbuds was defective because the sound was entirely to low, I had to go into the app change the long press settings to volume then hold the right button to reach the max volume then I’d change the settings back to noise cancellation for the long press, because of the physical button’s I will use these earbuds everyday for work and workouts at the gym. For anyone on the fence about these is a solid buy, I promise you will not be disappointed, a lot of earbuds with a much higher price point can’t come close to these earbuds, including with their app support, 2023 is near, and most likely they will probably come out with a upgraded version, you shouldn’t buy just to have what’s current, just wait for the firmware update, it’s free
