If you prioritize portability and noise isolation for use in noisy environments or when traveling, and enjoy wireless convenience with features tailored more towards Apple devices, you would appreciate the Beats Fit Pro with their good exercise and travel scores, plus active noise cancelling. However, if you're seeking the best microphone quality for calls and gaming, don't mind a wired connection, and are working within a tighter budget, the Turtle Beach Recon 70 with its best-in-class mic and very good performance for gaming and calls may suit you better, despite its lower scores in portability and noise isolation.

"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."

"There aren’t many considerations to make here. The Turtle Beach Recon 70 sounds decent, offers solid chat audio, feels good to wear over long periods, and it works everywhere. If you’re in the market for a simple plug-and-play option, you could do a whole lot worse (and spend a whole lot more money). Regardless, if getting something cheap that works well is the only thing you care about, this is a great option."
