If you prioritize sound quality and noise isolation, the Beats Fit Pro would be a superior choice, particularly suitable for both exercise with its sweatproof certification and air travel due to its active noise canceling feature. They also provide a very good music experience, though they're not ideal for gaming or TV due to poor performance scores in these areas. On the other hand, if you're looking for something much less expensive, the Shokz OpenMove is notable for its unique bone conduction technology, which doesn't block your ears, making them safer for outdoor activities. However, they offer poor sound quality and noise isolation. These headphones excel in comfort and are very good for calls, as well as being sweatproof and dustproof, but they aren't recommended for high-fidelity music listening or environments where noise cancellation is key. Additionally, Shokz OpenMove’s open design and the lack of active noise canceling make them less suitable for noisy settings or air travel. 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."

"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
