If you frequently use Apple devices and prioritize a secure fit during exercise, plus the convenience of features like spatial audio and the H1 chip for seamless pairing, Beats Fit Pro would suit you, but they lack an equalizer and you'll sacrifice a bit on soundstage and gaming performance. On the other hand, if you want superior soundstage, customizable sound through an app equalizer, and the latest Bluetooth codec support for higher-quality sound with lower latency, and you don't mind the absence of wireless charging, Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 is a strong option. They're also slightly less expensive. Choose Beats Fit Pro for a more Apple-centric, fitness-friendly experience or Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 for customizable sound and better gaming and audio quality, with versatile Bluetooth codec support.

"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."
"The Creative Aurvana Ace 2 earphones deliver robust, crisp audio thanks to their combination of xMEMS and dynamic drivers. We're fans of their extensive, high-quality codec options and highly customizable EQ."
