If you prioritize sound quality and active noise cancelling for immersive music listening and air travel, choose the Beats Fit Pro. However, they are less suitable for watching TV or gaming due to latency issues and they cost more. On the other hand, Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones, which are less expensive, offer open design allowing situational awareness, and are sweat and dustproof, making them better for exercise. They fall short on sound quality and are not ideal for noise-sensitive environments due to the lack of noise isolation and active noise cancellation. 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."
"If you're looking for a pair of headphones that can be worn while running or cycling, these Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a great alternative to more expensive models. They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising. Plus, they have a built-in microphone so you can take calls during your workout without having to stop and fumble with your phone. The sound quality is great for this style of headphones, and it has many other cool features."
