If you're invested in the Apple ecosystem, the Beats Fit Pro would offer better integration with features like adaptive sound, spatial audio, and lower latency, which are optimal for various activities, including exercise, given their sweatproof certification and wingtips for secure fit. Despite their higher price, they also come with active noise cancelling for better noise isolation, which is beneficial for air travel or noisy environments. On the other hand, the Moondrop Nekocake, while less expensive, lacks active noise cancelling and is not optimized for exercise as they aren't sweatproof. However, they do offer app controls customization and an equalizer to adjust the sound to your liking, making them a budget-friendly option if these features appeal to you and active noise cancelling or Apple-specific features are less important.

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."

"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."
