If you prioritize a wireless, portable option with active noise cancelling for use during exercise and travel, the Beats Fit Pro would be suitable for you; they're also optimized for use with Apple devices. On the other hand, if your focus is on exceptional sound quality and you're mainly using them for music and TV at home, the Sennheiser HD600 would be superior, though they require a wired connection and may benefit from a dedicated amplifier. Be aware that the Sennheisers have an open design that doesn't isolate noise well, so they're not ideal for noisy environments. Give Feedback

Lili Katz | January 2024
"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."
