If you prioritize noise isolation and are an Apple user, you might prefer the Beats Fit Pro for its adaptive sound and better spatial audio integration, despite its higher price. However, if you're looking for value and still want very good overall sound quality, the Beats Studiobuds offer excellent book and podcast listening and are significantly less expensive, although they don't feature the same level of noise handling as the Fit Pro. Both are suitable for exercise and have very good portability, but keep in mind the Beats Fit Pro has virtual surround that is exclusive to Apple devices. Give Feedback

Lili Katz | January 2024
"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."

"For less than the price of the AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds delivers a good fit, great sound, and active noise cancellation. This is also the first set of Apple-owned Beats earbuds to feature quick pairing with Android devices, albeit at the expense of some key features for Apple users."
