If you prioritize portability, exercise suitability, and use with Apple devices, the Beats Fit Pro earbuds are a better fit as they are designed for secure fit during movement, have good noise isolation for travel, and feature an H1 chip for enhanced Apple device integration. However, if you are looking for headphones with better battery life, comfort, and overall sound for general listening and especially air travel without concern for high cost, the Soundcore Space One, with its over-ear design and active noise cancelling, might better meet your needs. Keep in mind that only the Beats Fit Pro offer features like sweatproof certification and spatial audio, but this is exclusive to Apple users. 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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
