If you frequently use Apple devices and prioritize seamless integration and virtual surround sound, the Beats Fit Pro may be worth the extra cost. They offer good exercise and air travel suitability, with features like adaptive sound and spatial audio. However, if you're looking for earbuds that are more affordable and have excellent build quality, the Jaybird Vista 2 might be the better choice, especially with their higher rating for calls and meetings, and their dust and sweatproof certifications make them ideal for rigorous workouts. Neither option is optimal for gaming or TV watching due to their lower performance scores in those areas. Both provide very good noise isolation and portability, but the Jaybird Vista 2 offers longer battery life for both earbuds and the case, as well as wireless charging, which the Beats lack.

"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."

"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
