Beats Fit Pro (1st Gen) - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Active Noise Cancelling - Sweat Resistant Earphones, Compatible with Apple & Android, Class 1 Bluetooth®- Beats Black

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.

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.

Got it! Here’s the revised version with that change: ⸻ My husband bought these for our anniversary, and overall I’m really happy with them—but the experience started off rocky. • The first pair I received yesterday seemed defective. The left earbud didn’t work, and the security sticker on the bottom of the package didn’t peel the way a brand-new one should, unlike the replacement I got today they peeled off great. • The new pair I received today works perfectly—both earbuds sound amazing and fit better than AirPods. The color is beautiful and they actually stay in my ears. • The only downside is the charger arrived completely dead, so I had to charge it right away. Please make sure packages are properly checked before shipping—receiving what felt like a used or repackaged item first was disappointing. I’ll provide photos as well.

Boa qualidade de audio, Bom sistema de fixação Razoável Sistema de cancelamento de ruído Deveria ter um aplicativo com mais funções

Se escuchan muy bien. Para el precio/ calidad están bien y razonables

J'avais déjà des écouteurs sans-fil avec ANC (les FP9 de LG) et même si je suis très satisfait de ces derniers, j'avais tout de même des critiques à formuler au sujet du système d'annulation active du bruit. Alors, comme l'on entend beaucoup parler des Beats Fit Pro, j'ai eu envie de les essayer... POUR : - Le confort est indéniable, à partir du moment où vous avez le "truc" pour placer les écouteurs. Cela prend un peu de pratique, mais une fois placés, ils ne bougent plus (parfait pour le sport, par exemple, mais pas seulement). Les ailettes sont confortables et permettent de maintenir les écouteurs en place. C'est très souple, donc on ne les sent pas sur l'oreille. - La qualité du son est vraiment très bonne pour la taille des écouteurs. Le son est très équilibré (non, pas trop de basses comme se fût le cas au début avec Beats). - L'ANC est vraiment bluffante ! Je suis impressionné par le système d'annulation du bruit. J'ai fait le test en marchant à côté d'un boulevard, j'ai activé la fonction et le bruit des voitures a disparu (presque totalement). C'est le gros avantage par-rapport à d'autres modèles. - La recharge, par USB-C est très rapide. Pour le moment, rien à redire sur l'autonomie (environ 5-6h sans remettre les écouteurs dans la boîte de recharge, 24h avec). - Le mode transparence est très efficace également, parfait pour rester à l'écoute de votre environnement sans avoir à enlever les écouteurs. - Les contrôles sont simples et fiable : c'est un bouton physique que l'on presse une, deux ou trois fois pour contrôler la musique et une longue pression pour changer le mode d'écoute (ANC ou transparence). Mais vous pouvez les reconfigurer. - L'appairage est assez simple et le passage d'un appareil à un autre est transparent (je suis sur iOS et MacOS). Sitôt que je bouge la souris de mon Mac, par exemple, il me propose de switcher le son dans les écouteurs. C'est vraiment cool ! CONTRE : - En insérant les écouteurs, on est tenté d'appuyer sur le bouton qui déclenche la fonction "play"... il faut insérer les écouteurs par les côtés. Pas très pratique. - La boîte de recharge est (un peu) grosse, puis paraît un peu "cheap". C'est très "plastique"... mais c'est une question de point de vue. Les couleurs sont très réussies (j'ai le modèle en gris). - Le micro est très bon. Seul bémol, c'est qu'il capte beaucoup de bruits ambiants je trouve... un peu plus que les compétiteurs. Peut-être que cela prendra une mise-à-jour du firmware pour corriger un peu cela. En conclusion, ce sont de très bons écouteurs et la réduction de bruit est vraiment efficace. Vous pouvez facilement vous isoler, sans avoir un gros casque encombrant. Pour le moment, ce sont les meilleurs écouteurs dans leur catégorie, selon moi.

My wife tells me these have a great sound quality and they are quite comfortable to wear. These are the only earbuds my wife can fit into her tiny ears that will actually lock in and not fall out during her exercise routine. We've tried half a dozen different earbuds from different brands to no avail. These were the most expensive that we have tried so we had some reservations but it worked out great. If you have small ears, these are the earbuds for you. So it's been a long time since my wife purchased her beats earbuds and I decided to get a pair for myself because she is still praising them. The pass through is excellent and the active noise canceling is excellent. They fit my bigger ears very good and I find them easily controlled by tapping the earbuds. They do have good sound quality and I can see myself enjoying these a lot but I will say the sound quality pales in comparison to the sound core sleep buds that I purchased alongside these. I purchased the beats earbuds for working around the yard to hear music and suppress noise but I purchased the sleep buds because I like to listen to shows and movies when falling to sleep. Side by side, the beats cannot hold a candle to the sound quality of the sound core sleep buds. I keep the sleep bugs and return the beats earbuds but the sound core sleep buds do not have active sound cancellation and are not meant for high activity.

Update: I think my ears have gotten used to these buds and they don't hurt as much after about 2-3 weeks of somewhat daily use. Still, there's some discomfort after a while. So I guess it isn't a big deal and I hope it stays that way even after I stop using the buds for a while. --------------------------------- Original full review: --------------------------------- My Galaxy Buds+ are starting to retire after 2 years of use and they're hard to find for sale new and on a good deal. So might as well buy something new so I tried the Beats Fit Pro. This is a long post. This review is more for me (and Apple if they read this) but I still hope someone can find this helpful. There is a summary below. Sound Quality: -The BASS on this one definitely SLAPS and I love it! There's a night and day difference from my Galaxy Buds+ with these on the bass. Using the song 'We will rock you' by Queen for comparison, you can really hear the thump of the floor/ground come through with the Beats Fit Pro. On the Buds+, it feels more like a sound effect than actual thumping feet. However, the tuning is dark and a bit muffled. I have to turn it a notch up on volume level. Furthermore, some detail is lost because of this and where it is outshined by the Buds+ which isn't surprising because the Beats Fit Pro has a single dynamic drive, and the Buds+ has two (2) drivers, and they may be both balanced armatures (tends to have good detail/texture, but lackluster bass). It may be due to the physical characteristics of the drivers in both of these earbuds/drivers themselves and/or how they are tuned. Because of this the Beats Fit Pro are favored for excited, fun, bassy and beaty songs (e.g. Pop, Hip-hop, Rock, etc.), though it may be fatiguing after a while of listening. You might have to fiddle with the equalizer if you want it to sound the way you want it on other genres, but for average joes such as myself (with an occasional fits of OCD, lol), it's fine as is. Definitely get this for the bass. Build quality: -Can't say much about Apple products since it's still a reputable brand even if I have gripes about them. You may not like the features/design but you can bet they've been thought out (somehow, at least) and quality is good. The earbuds themselves are great quality. Can't say the same for the case as many YouTube reviews have pointed out. It's still well built except the flimsy hinge which gives this cheap feel. On the other hand, the magnets feel secured but the lack of wireless charging is a turn-off (what's next, Apple, it's another $30 option for the 2nd Gen to get wireless charging? Oh please). The case is also a stain magnet. My case is already starting to discolor after a week even with careful use. I keep it in a sunglass cloth bag. I might even buy a case for the case if I decide to keep these. Usability: -I like the multifunction physical buttons but I can't say I love them over touch controls. In my opinion, you can't really compare both but there's definitely a use-case for each. Physical buttons avoids accidental input from a slight touch. This is great for overhead workouts/movements. You can also operate even when wearing gloves that are not touchscreen-capable. On the other hand, you really have to be intentional as it require a bit of finesse of the fingers/hands to operate. To put it another way, it can be harder to operate if not using the fingers/hands for example sometimes I don't want to touch my earbuds because my hands are dirty from touching something gross/dirty. With touch controls, I can use other parts of my arm/shoulder with bare skin to operate it. You can still operate the buttons without using your fingers but you might have to put more pressure than usual just to press the button which may hurt, not to mention the awkwardness. I don't think one should worry of the in-ear pressure when operating the buttons normally by hand because it doesn't take much pressure to press and the buttons are aligned to the wall cavity of the ear rather than the ear canal. -It's hard to set the exact volume level using the multifunction button because the volume change is so fast on the Beats and there's no audio cue, especially if you only want to change it a single notch. So you'll have to be on perfect timing (good luck with that) to get to the level you want. For reference, the Galaxy Buds+ does it buy gradually change the volume one level every second and there's an audible cue as it happens. This allows you to fine tune to the level you want without the fuss of having the perfect timing. As a result, I don't use this feature on the Beats, which is a big let down for me because I tend to use this feature a lot. This would be the second biggest reason to return these if ever. This can be fixed by a firmware update, potentially. But after using the buds after a while, I realized the use case for holding the button is more suited for toggling noise cancelling and transparency mode. Would still be great to have the feature from Samsung to turn on transparency mode when you speak. -One major con is that my right ear hurt after an hour of use. When I put it on straight from the box, I barely felt anything and was very glad as it was a big concern for me as I had the same issue with the AirPods Pro 2 before, and which I had to return for that reason. That's when I used their ear fit test in the app, which suggested I size up on ear tips (biggest). I have to agree with the test result because when I used the Mediums, I can barely tell a difference with and without the noise cancelling. The sound was also a lot better with the Large size. Also, you will get a more secure fit with the wing tips with the right size tips. Maybe I'll get used to it over time and I'm gonna use it as much as possible and if I don't get used to it before my return window closes, I'm gonna have to send it back. I suggest people with this same issue do the same. Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode: -Obviously it's not on par with Sony's or Bose's but I'm happy enough and I think it's actually really good. It does a great job at blocking people's voices, great for office or café settings. And when music is on, you won't hear noise at all. It's more to augment your listening experience than anything. There was even one time I was working inside a van and I left the engine running for a good couple of hours and I forgot about it was running until I was looking for van's keys. Also on my daily walks in the city, the sound of the passing cars is reduced to a negligible hiss. So I imagine this would be great for commuting/flights. -Transparency mode doesn't sound very natural and it can become disorienting at times. It replicates close to if not the actual volume/loudness of external sounds. It's good enough as I don't really see a need for this feature as it's more of a convenience feature so you don't have to take them off. If you want to hear your surroundings then you shouldn't have anything in your ear in the first place. Other (negative) comments: -It seems to toggle between transparency mode and noise cancelling all of a sudden. Happens quite a few times. It happens more commonly when I paused my media, then resume playing after a few moments. On other times I don't even touch anything at all. Also one time when I removed and put back the right earbud, the music resumed playing on it but the button wouldn't work. It worked again when I put both sides back on. So weird. -I have concerns with connectivity with non-Apple devices. Any weird/bad thing that occurs I tend to think of this reason. For example if there's a cut out in connection (not very often, but it happens) even though my phone is in my hand or computer is in front of me, or the case I mentioned above, etc. Also, the automatic connection to paired devices (especially the last one) is erratic, and might I say, device-picky at times (again, I don't have anything Apple). It connects automatically to my PC but not on my Galaxy phone. ====================== Pros and Cons Summary: ====================== Notable Pros: -Physical buttons (also a con, see below) avoid accidental input especially when doing overhead workouts as opposed to capacitive touch on other earbuds. The buttons have a satisfying and reassuring click. -Nicely secured magnetic case. I don't see the buds going anywhere even if you shake it vigorously. You have to be very deliberate for this to come out of the buds. It might be the best one on the market on this aspect. Cons: -Hurts the ears (major, big con). Masochists rejoice! Not me. And this is the only reason I'm still on the fence on keeping these buds. -No way to turn off input/presses on earbuds unlike on Samsung's Galaxy Buds. While the physical buttons avoid accidental input, a press blocker would be beneficial when lying on your side on the bed with a pillow as sometimes the buttons are pressed as the earbuds stick out a bit. I know this is mostly marketed for active people more than for people lying on their beds, but come on. -Physical buttons require a bit of finesse of the fingers/hands themselves to operate. To put it another way, it can be harder to operate if not using the fingers/hands for example sometimes I don't want to touch my earbuds because my hands are dirty from touching chicken meat and I also work in a dirty-ish industry and I use these on the job for calls and music (especially mine are the white ones). -The lack of wireless charging for the price is appalling even when on sale. -No adjustment on transparency mode. -Case doesn't feel very premium because of the flimsy hinge (minor con). In closing: It's sad to think that some features are not available on non-Apple devices. Seriously this petty "exclusivity" is so childish and greedy. I'm not on Apple's ecosystem so if I buy any of their products to use and if there's anything weird or bad going on I tend to suspect this discrepancy in brand. You think it's genius because it may want people to consider buying more of your products to make the most of them, but it's actually not. It's a massive turn off. It's outright silly, divisive, and not very inclusive in technology age we are in now.
