If you prioritize call quality and durability, the Jabra Elite 4 may be the better choice, as they have excellent mic and build quality, and are sweatproof and dustproof certified, making them suitable for exercise. However, if you are an Apple device user and want features like adaptive sound, spatial audio, and lower latency for a seamless multimedia experience, the Beats Fit Pro may justify the higher cost. Both offer good comfort and noise isolation, but only the Beats Fit Pro supports AAC codec and has integrated virtual surround sound, appealing for Apple users. The Jabra Elite 4 has a slightly longer battery life and comes with an app equalizer, allowing more customization of sound preferences. 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."

"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"
