If you're on a tight budget, the Baseus Bowie MA10 will be kinder to your wallet while still offering very good build quality, microphone quality, and suitability for exercise and travel. However, if superior sound quality, noise isolation, and features like active noise cancelling and virtual surround sound (Apple devices only) are your priority, and you're willing to pay more, then the Beats Fit Pro may be a better choice. Keep in mind, the Beats Fit Pro is optimized for Apple devices, making it a particularly good match if you're in the Apple ecosystem. Give Feedback

"Even if the Bowie MA10 only had some of the features and performance they offer at double the price, they’d be a helluva good value. But given that they far exceed any other earbuds at this price, if you’re looking for an ultra-affordable set of wireless earbuds and you don’t mind their big charging case, you just can’t go wrong."

"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."
