If you prioritize sound quality and noise isolation for a variety of environments, including exercising and air travel, and don't mind paying a bit more, the Beats Fit Pro would be a better choice, especially if you have an Apple device to take advantage of features like spatial audio and the H1 chip's benefits. On the other hand, if you're looking for something more wallet-friendly that still offers good sound for TV and gaming with the benefit of a longer battery life and wireless charging, then the Soundcore P20i could be a more suitable option for you. Keep in mind that the Soundcore P20i is also optimized for both Android and Apple devices, while the Beats have a stronger alignment with Apple products. 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."
