If you prioritize overall sound quality and noise isolation for a wide range of activities including exercise and air travel, the Beats Fit Pro would be a better choice, especially if you're an Apple user, as they offer better integration with Apple devices, adaptive sound, and features like spatial audio. However, if budget is a major concern and you need earbuds primarily for exercise or outdoor activities, and you're okay with sacrificing some sound quality, the Jlab Go Air Sport could be a more cost-effective option. Keep in mind, the Beats Fit Pro have a shorter battery life per charge but do feature virtual surround sound which is exclusive to Apple devices, whereas the Jlab lacks some premium features but offers longer battery life and ear hooks for a secure fit during physical activity.

"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."

"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
