If you are an Apple device user and prioritize adaptive sound, better noise handling, and spatial audio, the Beats Fit Pro is designed to integrate seamlessly with Apple products, enhancing your experience. However, if you are seeking earbuds more suited for gaming due to their low latency mode, and also want very good mic quality, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless is a more budget-friendly option with these features. The Beats have active noise cancelling and are sweatproof, ideal for exercise and travel, while the Razer's have a longer battery life, although they lack noise cancellation, making the Beats better for noise-prone environments.

"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."
"This latest set is more “Pro” than not in both looks and features: they offer active noise cancellation, a low-latency gaming mode, and have switched to a in-ear design with silicone tips. Just like many of the company’s laptops and gaming accessories, the 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless include Razer’s full Chroma RGB system. It makes for what Razer calls “the ultimate wireless earbud flex.”"
