If you prioritize sound quality and features such as active noise cancelling and a built-in equalizer, and don't mind spending more, the Beats Fit Pro would be a suitable choice, especially if you own Apple devices to take advantage of the H1 chip for improved audio and lower latency. However, if cost is a major concern and you need something for basic listening, with decent battery life and great portability, the JLab Go Air Pop would make a more budget-friendly option despite its limited features and lower overall sound quality compared to the Beats. The JLab also lacks active noise cancelling, which is a significant feature present in the Beats Fit Pro for noise isolation. Give Feedback

"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 JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
