If you frequently exercise or travel and value portability and sweat resistance, the Beats Fit Pro are a solid choice; they're also optimized for use with Apple devices and support spatial audio. However, if you're looking for superior overall sound quality, especially for activities like gaming, watching TV and videos, or during calls and meetings, and if comfort during extended use is also a priority, then the Sennheiser Accentum Plus may be worth the extra cost. The Sennheisers offer better build quality, active noise cancelling, and have a detachable cable which can be useful if you prefer a wired connection or need to replace the cable. 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."
