If you're looking for earbuds that have strong performance across various audio content like music, calls, gaming, and TV, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 could serve you well, as they offer very good overall sound quality with additional features like a low latency mode, which is crucial for gaming and watching videos. They also support the LDAC codec for higher quality streaming with compatible devices. However, if you're an Apple user and value earbuds optimized for your devices, the Beats Fit Pro might be better as they are equipped with the H1 chip, providing features such as adaptive sound and improved spatial audio. The Beats also offer a secure wingtip design, which can be beneficial during exercise, and support for virtual surround sound, but only with Apple devices. Keep in mind that the Beats Fit Pro may not perform as well for gaming or TV due to the poorer soundstage. Both options are sweatproof and have active noise cancelling, making them suitable for commuting or air travel. Give Feedback

Billy Steele | January 2024
"There’s plenty to like about the ATH-TWX7. A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day. But a few of those tools could still use some fine-tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in 2024 is a head scratcher. Still, the audio is mostly good, and transparency mode is better than most. Add in the solid call quality and the in-app voice test and the ATH-TWX7 are a worthy consideration, especially at this price. Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment."

"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."
