Beats Fit Pro 1st Gen - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Active Noise Cancelling - Sweat Resistant

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_details Pros – 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_details Pros – 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_details Pros – 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_details Pros – 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_details Pros – 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. Read more

The Beats Fit Pro earbuds are well liked for their comfort, sound quality, and reliable performance. The earbuds use soft wingtips that keep them secure in the ear, making them comfortable for activities like running or working out without worrying about them falling out. The sound is clear with strong volume and balanced bass, and the physical control buttons make it easy to adjust volume, switch songs, or answer calls without struggling with touch controls. Battery life is solid, lasting several hours of continuous listening, and the charging case can recharge the earbuds multiple times throughout the day. The color options also match what is advertised and give the earbuds a clean, stylish look. Although the case may feel slightly slick and there is no wireless charging, many users still feel the earbuds offer great value for the money because of their comfort, sound quality, and dependable controls.

I have had Airpods, Airpod Pros, Tozo NC2's, and several other sets of Bluetooth wireless headphones. Each one has different features that I really like and some features that are missing. Pros: The Beats Fit Pros really excel in many areas. They absolutely rival the sound of the last set of Airpod Pros I had. I honestly cannot think of one time that I've thought, "These are good, but they aren't Airpod Pros." The sound quality is excellent and the tap button on each ear make for really easy to use controls. I like having a tactile button that you can feel when it is pressed as opposed to some other versions that just use touch. The BEST feature of these, however, is the fit. They are really comfortable. So much so, that there are times that I forget I'm wearing them. And they do not fall out. I use them a lot (that's probably why they look a little dirty in the picture). I keep the case in my pocket all day while I'm at work. I use them to answer phone calls and I've found them to be very natural sounding. I also excercise in them regularly. One other tidbit...the noise cancelling is really good. I coach a volleyball team, and some of the match environments we go to are EXTREMELY loud. I wear these in NC mode, and it quiets everything done. Cons: Battery life. While I don't kill them super fast, if you wanted to leave home and wear them and use them all day...well, that's not going to happen. I've found that I put them in at 100% and go for a 1 hour run listening to podcasts or music and they are at about 80%. Constant use of music/phone calls, you might get a continuous 6 hours. However, the case does charge very quickly. The case. I don't love the feel of the case. It's really slick. It goes in and out of your pants pocket really easily, but it will also slip out of your hands easily as well. It doesn't feel badly, it's just a little slick for me. The other thing I don't love about the case is that I wish you had an idea of how much charge the case has without using your phone. I know the case and Beats Fit Pro vitals are meant to be read on the phone screen, but it would be nice to not have to sometimes. All in all, for $50+ savings on the Airpod Pros (sometimes even more than that) I would definitely buy again. Read more
