If you're an Apple user wanting good noise isolation and features like spatial audio at a slightly lower cost, the Beats Fit Pro would suit you, especially for exercise and casual listening. Yet, they're not tailored for high-quality gaming and TV experience, and their soundstage isn't as immersive compared to other options. However, if you're inclined towards richer sound quality for gaming, TV, and calls, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport is a better choice with its virtual surround capabilities and superior mic quality, though at a higher price. It's also equipped with fitness-centric features like heart rate and temperature tracking, advantageous if you're a fitness enthusiast. Keep in mind, the Sennheiser's are optimized for both Android and Apple devices, while the Beats Fit Pro are optimized mainly for Apple users. Both options offer great portability and exercise usage; choosing largely depends on your budget, device ecosystem, and whether gaming and health tracking are priorities for you. 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."
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
