If you prioritize noise isolation and are an Apple user, the Beats Fit Pro would better serve you with its mature integration with Apple's ecosystem, especially for features like spatial audio and lower latency for Apple devices. However, if cost is a concern and you want a versatile pair with excellent build quality and very good gaming and video scores, the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) may be the more appropriate choice. Additionally, "Nothing" Ear (2) supports a lossless codec for better sound quality and showcases more extensive app controls, making them a great all-around option, particularly for Android users or those valuing customization. Both options deliver very good overall sound quality, but the "Nothing" Ear (2) excels in gaming and video experiences and includes wireless charging, which the Beats Fit Pro lacks. 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."
"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."
