If you're an Apple user looking for true wireless earbuds with convenient features like the H1 chip for seamless pairing and spatial audio, and you don't mind spending more, the Beats Fit Pro might be the better choice. Their active noise cancelling and adaptive sound capabilities are great for immersive music experiences, exercise, and air travel, while also providing very good portability and noise isolation. However, if you're on a budget and prefer wired earbuds with a focus on sound quality for activities like gaming and watching TV, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS could be a better fit despite no active noise cancelling or special features for Apple devices.

"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."
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."
