If you prioritize sound quality during exercise, portability, and noise isolation, along with a preference for a higher end product, the Beats Fit Pro earbuds are a solid choice, especially if you use an Apple device that benefits from the H1 chip's features like spatial audio. However, for those who focus on long battery life, comfort over extended periods, and exceptional microphone quality for calls and meetings, the JLab Go Work Wireless headphones, being much less expensive, could be the better option, despite lacking in wireless charging and active noise cancelling.

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."

"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
