If you prioritize a high-quality sound experience with a focus on robust features, including active noise cancelling and better overall sound, the Beats Fit Pro would be a suitable choice, especially if you use an Apple device since they offer special features like spatial audio and lower latency in that ecosystem. However, if budget is a concern and you're looking for good everyday earbuds with very good comfort and a longer battery life without the need for Apple-specific features, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are a cost-effective option that also offers wireless charging--a feature not present in the Beats. Keep in mind that the Beats have better noise isolation, while the Raycon has an excellent build quality and is optimized for a wider range of activities, including exercise. 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."
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
