If you're an Apple user prioritizing seamless integration, the Beats Fit Pro with the Apple H1 chip will provide easy pairing, adaptive sound, better spatial audio, and lower latency during use, especially beneficial for movies and gaming. However, they won't be ideal for high-detail soundstage experiences due to their poor soundstage score. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, which shines in sound quality and has a good soundstage, could be a better fit for diverse audio content. They feature a low-latency codec and are sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise. Although both offer active noise canceling, if you need longer battery life, the Beats Fit Pro outperforms the Buds 2 Pro. Lastly, the Buds 2 Pro's wireless charging could be a deciding factor if convenience is a priority. Choose based on your brand ecosystem, desired features, and key use cases, whether it's exercise, travel convenience, or sound fidelity. 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."
"Consider the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as your next pair of buds for its excellent active noise canceling (ANC) of low frequencies and comfortable fit. For Samsung users, the integration with your devices is handy and good for productivity."
