stemmed earbuds, but the Airpods Pro 2 offer better overall sound quality, noise isolation, and are optimized with features like spatial audio and lower latency which are particularly enhanced when paired with Apple devices. They also have a longer battery life, both in the earbuds and the case, and support wireless charging, making them convenient for extended use. However, the Beats Fit Pro have secure-fit wingtips which might be preferable during exercise and provide adaptive sound capabilities. They don't support wireless charging and have a shorter battery life. If you're frequently in noisy environments or want the utmost convenience in charging and battery life, choose the Airpods Pro 2. If you prioritize a secure fit during active use and don't need wireless charging, consider the Beats Fit Pro. Give Feedback

"Apple's upgraded H2 chip begets better active noise canceling (ANC) and battery life, while the case's U1 chip and integrated speaker lets you precisely locate it from the Find My app. If you own an iPhone, the new AirPods Pro is an obvious choice."

"The Beats Fit Pro is just as easy to use with an Android device as it is with an iPhone. It seems Apple-owned Beats is trying to appeal to a wider market, and it works. The Fit Pro fits like a pro with the ear tip fit test and multiple ear tips. Sound quality is sure to please most athletes, but the Fit Pro is just at home in the office as it is in the gym. The main factor holding the Beats Fit Pro back from gold is the price."
