If you prioritize wireless convenience and are often on the move, the Beats Fit Pro with its sweatproof certification might serve you better; however, if cost is a significant factor and you don't mind wired earbuds, the KZ ZSN Pro offers good sound quality at a budget-friendly price. The Beats Fit Pro offers active noise cancelling for noisy environments and adaptive sound features, making it suitable for air travel and exercise. On the other hand, the KZ ZSN Pro has a detachable cable, allowing for custom replacements or upgrades. For Apple device users, the Beats Fit Pro provides optimized features like spatial audio and lower latency, which can be particularly appealing for a seamless experience. 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."
"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
