If you prioritize features that are optimized for Apple devices, enjoy workouts, and need good noise isolation and sweat resistance, the Beats Fit Pro could be a better choice, especially with its H1 chip offering adaptive sound, spatial audio, and lower latency with Apple products. However, if you seek superior sound quality for music and video with a wide soundstage, virtual surround sound, and high-quality built-in microphone, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 stands out, plus it supports AptX Adaptive codec for high-quality audio over Bluetooth, which the Beats lack. Keep in mind though, for gaming and TV, the Sennheisers may not be the best pick due to higher latency compared to the Beats when used with non-Apple devices. Give Feedback

How the Beats Fit Pro and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
"With the Momentum True Wireless 3, Sennheiser cements itself yet again as one of the go-to brands for wireless sound quality. It has a fun and engaging sound signature that has great bass and a great stage, accomplishing what only some of the best Bluetooth earphones can, and that’s clarity."
