**The Beats Fit Pro: A Subtle Design Difference That Can Make an Impact**

When it comes to earbuds, even the smallest design differences can make a significant impact on sound quality and overall user experience. In this video, we're going to explore the subtle design differences that set the Beats Fit Pro apart from its competitors, including the AirPods Pro.

**Design Differences That Matter**

One of the most noticeable design differences between the Beats Fit Pro and other earbuds is the way they fit in your ears. The Fit Pro has a more snug and secure fit than the AirPods Pro, thanks to their custom-designed tips that come with the earbuds. This means that the sound quality is better and the noise cancellation is more effective.

**A Closer Look at Apple's Ear Detection Sensors**

Another feature that sets the Beats Fit Pro apart from other earbuds is their ability to detect when you're wearing them or not. The AirPods Pro, for example, have a custom design that allows you to swap in different tips, but they also come with advanced sensors that can detect when your ears are uncovered and pause music accordingly. The Beats Fit Pro doesn't have this feature, but it still provides excellent sound quality and noise cancellation.

**Spatial Audio and Other Features**

One of the most exciting features of the AirPods Pro is their ability to provide spatial audio with head tracking. This means that when you're watching a movie or TV show on your Apple device, the sound seems to come from all around you, creating an immersive experience. The Beats Fit Pro also supports spatial audio, but it's not as seamless as the AirPods Pro.

**Design Over Functionality: A Trade-Off for Android Users**

One of the most interesting aspects of the Beats Fit Pro is their design. Unlike the AirPods Pro, which have a more minimalist look, the Fit Pro has a slightly more futuristic design that some users may find appealing. However, this means that they don't come with all the same features as the AirPods Pro, such as spatial audio and always-on Hey Siri.

**The Verdict: A Good Choice for Android Users**

So, are the Beats Fit Pro worth it? For Android users who want a good pair of earbuds without breaking the bank, the answer is yes. The Fit Pro provides excellent sound quality, noise cancellation, and transparency mode, making them an excellent choice for those on-the-go.

**The Verdict: A Good Choice for Apple Users**

For Apple fans, the Beats Fit Pro are a great alternative to the AirPods Pro. While they don't come with all the same features, such as spatial audio and always-on Hey Siri, they do provide excellent sound quality and noise cancellation at a lower price point.

**The Verdict: A Great Choice for Anyone**

Ultimately, the Beats Fit Pro are a great choice for anyone who wants a good pair of earbuds. Whether you're an Android user or an Apple fan, these earbuds offer excellent sound quality, noise cancellation, and design. So, if you haven't already, consider giving them a try.

**Comparison to Other Earbuds**

So, how do the Beats Fit Pro compare to other earbuds on the market? In terms of sound quality, they're right up there with the best of them. However, in terms of features, such as spatial audio and always-on Hey Siri, the AirPods Pro still take the lead.

**The Impact of Design**

Design is often an afterthought when it comes to earbuds, but it's an important factor in creating a user experience that's both comfortable and enjoyable. The Beats Fit Pro are a great example of how even small design changes can make a big impact on sound quality and overall usability.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Beats Fit Pro offer a unique blend of sound quality, noise cancellation, and design that sets them apart from other earbuds on the market. Whether you're an Android user or an Apple fan, these earbuds are definitely worth considering. So, go ahead and give them a try – we think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

**Voice Calling Performance**

When it comes to voice calling performance, the Beats Fit Pro do a great job of reducing background noise and isolating your voice. However, they're not quite as good as the AirPods Pro or even the latest AirPods 3rd generation models.

**Beats' Efforts to Appeal to Android Users**

One interesting aspect of the Beats Fit Pro is their efforts to appeal to Android users. The earbuds come with a companion app for Android devices, which makes them slightly more friendly to Android users than other earbuds on the market.

**Battery Life**

When it comes to battery life, the Beats Fit Pro do a great job of lasting all day without needing to be recharged. However, they're not quite as long-lasting as some other earbuds on the market.

**Firmware Upgrades and Future Improvements**

As with any product, there's always room for improvement. The Beats Fit Pro will likely receive firmware upgrades in the future that will add new features and improve performance.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Beats Fit Pro offer a unique blend of sound quality, noise cancellation, and design that sets them apart from other earbuds on the market. Whether you're an Android user or an Apple fan, these earbuds are definitely worth considering. So, go ahead and give them a try – we think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey there so we got the airpods third generation last week but it turns out apple wasn't done for this year it owns beats and these are the new beats fit pro noise cancelling earbuds they're 200 come in four color options and they might just be better than the airpods pro and the sports airpods you've always wanted let's talk about that now the concept behind the fitzpro is pretty simple take beats iconic powerbeats pro sports buzz with its big ear hook and shrink it the hell down i can't say i ever love the powerbeats pro's design but a lot of people do because the earhook gives you a feeling of security that your buds aren't going to fall off your head i personally prefer my sports buds to have a wingtip that fits into the inside of the ear not around the outside of it and that's what we have here most of the time those wingtips or sports fins as they're sometimes called are removable and sometimes come in different sizes but what's interesting with the fit pro is that the wing tip has been integrated into the design it's one size fits all you can't replace it as far as i can tell but it does seem durable and it's made of firm but pliable silicone rubber it's soft to the touch the buds fit comfortably and securely in my ears i much prefer this design to the powerbeats pros beats earbuds have always had a physical control button which i do like and the fit pros also have one what's nice about it is that because it's an extension of the sport fin it is a soft to the touch finish and a little bit of a grip to it use it to control music playback answer and end calls and a long press switches between noise canceling and transparency modes you can also program the long press to be volume controls on the buds themselves that's a feature a lot of people have been asking for on the airpods and i do suspect it is coming very soon to the new airpods 3 and airpods pro these also have always on hey siri so you can raise and lower volume by just asking apple's voice assistant to do it and issuing other voice commands without touching a button anyway they're lightweight weighing 5.6 grams each and they fit my ears really well as i said they come in four colors and you'll see everything but the white version of this video i wore the lavender one around more because it shows up better in shots but i'd personally probably go with the gray color because i'm not a flashy guy and it kind of blends with your ears the best i'm a little surprised beats didn't go with red for launch but i'm sure you'll see more colors next year before i get into features and performance i just have a few more comments about the design the one big complaint about the powerbeats pro is their huge case the case for the fit pro isn't as small as the airpods pro case or even the beats studio buds case but it's still pretty compact and much smaller in the powerbeats pros case in a bit of a nod to android users the case charges via usbc not lightning however it's missing the wireless charging found in the airpods pro and airpods 3 cases battery life is rated at up to six hours with noise canceling on and seven hours with it off at moderate volume levels that's compared to around 4.5 hours for the airpods pro with noise canceling on and five hours with it off you can get an extra 21 hours of juice when the case is fully charged aside from the lack of wireless charging in all other respects the fit pro have the same features as the airpods pro one of the big downsides of the beats studio buds is that they don't have apple's h1 chip so they're missing things like adaptive eq that detects how the earbuds are sitting in your ears and optimizes sound on the fly along with those extra features for apple users like spatial audio and auto switching between devices on your icloud account but these have the h1 chip so you're getting an airpods pro-like experience with better sound and noise cancelling than the beats studio buds as well as a top-notch transparency mode that lets you hear the outside world in a natural way as far as i can tell the noise cancelling and transparency are at the same level as the airpods pro noise canceling isn't quite as good as sony's or boses but it's pretty close and quite effective at muffling external noise i will say this these actually sound slightly better than the airpods pro beats says they have custom 9.5 millimeter drivers and i think they have a touch more clarity and the base packs a little more punching goes a little deeper they have a pretty wide sound stage but they don't offer quite as expansive or refined sound as the more expensive sony wf-1000x mark iv buds i'm not talking about a big difference in sound quality sony just sounds slightly more natural has a touch more detail that can bring out a little bit more nuance in music tracks but i think the beats sound will impress you a lot it's good and these avoid distorting at higher volumes which probably has as much to do with the adaptive eq as the drivers themselves of course just how good a noise ice clinging earbud sounds is depending on how good a fit you get i'll just point out that i got a decent seal with the largest size of the included tips but i ended up switching them out for my go-to sennheiser tips that tend to fit my ears best with a lot of earbuds including the sony's now starting to get a little wonkier but some companies include tips with a slightly recessed tube that's the part that attaches to the earbuds post but the sennheiser's tube is flush with the outer rim of the tip so once you put it on the post the tip extends out from the bud a few millimeters more those few millimeters and the shape of the sennheiser tips created a perfect seal in my ears with these earbuds to be clear the beats tips fit my ears well and they should fit most people's ears well but i'm looking for the perfect fit when i test bud so i can get the optimal performance for sound quality as well as noise cancelling which can suffer if you don't get a tight seal i can't tell you how boring your tips are they can make or break an earbud and i just wanted to put in a video how subtle design difference can make an impact but it's nice that unlike with the airpods pro which have a custom tip design that you can basically swap in any tips with these like the airpods pro these beats have ear detection sensors and enhanced find my feature with proximity view that helps locate your buds in all those places they like to hide i'm not going to talk much about apple's new spatial audio feature with head tracking other than to say that it's a nice bonus feature it allows you to get virtual surround sound when you're watching movies and tv shows on various apple devices like i said in my airpods 3 review it's a neat effect with video watching but a bit more hit or miss with apple music tracks with dolby atmos it also now works with group facetime calls which is kind of cool the beats fit pro will pair with most other bluetooth audio devices but you'll lose all the extra features like spatial audio and always on hey siri and audio sharing with other people who have airpods however unlike the airpods beats has an app for android devices that makes their buds slightly more friendly to android users at least it's making some effort to appeal to android users from an android perspective the good thing about the beats studio buzz not having an h1 chip was that except for always on hey siri it didn't have those extra apple only features so you didn't feel like you were missing out on anything in this case you are but android users still might consider these thanks to their design strong sound good noise canceling and excellent transparency mode and also good voice calling performance how much backup can't really hear a whole lot of background noise but it seems like when you have a conversation or when you start to speak your the microphones are not picking up your voice that well so you kind of seem faint in the kind of your voice is very low yes they are better than the studio buds and powerbeats pro for making calls but not quite as good as the airpods third generation or airpods pro at least not right now according to beats they have six microphones up to five of which that are used during calls there's a voice accelerometer that helps isolate your voice and a wind mitigation system in my torture tests in the streets of new york they did a decent job reducing background noise but there were some subtle differences between these and the airpods pro the airpods third generation some people said they heard slightly more background noise with the beats and didn't think my voice came across quite as clearly with the noise cancelling on i could hear everyone quite well so no complaints on my end it's quite possible we get some improvements with firmware upgrades but for now i'd have to say these are good for voice calling but a slight step behind both the airpods third generation and airpods pro that said for me the beats fit pro came out as the winner over the airpods pro and are the sporty airpods i've always wanted i like the airpods pro a lot and have no problem keeping them in my ears you can also see how some people like the familiar pipe design of the airpods pro with their now shorter stems and not everybody likes having the beats be splashed across their earbuds but the fit pro really do lock in your ears if you get a tight seal they sound slightly better and have equally good noise canceling their battery life is also a little better it will be interesting to see how much these hurt sales of the beats studio buzz in airpods pro they're hard to compare to the airpods third generation because if you're getting those you're getting them for their open design but i do think you'll see the hundred fifty dollar studio buds on sale more frequently selling for twenty to thirty dollars off and maybe even approaching a hundred dollars while the airpods pro lists for 250 they sell for around 200 and sometimes less online so they're basically the same price as the beats fit pro i guess apple wins either way if you buy one or the other but it's funny to see two models from the same company competing directly with each other maybe it will bring out the best in apple and the airpods pro 2 will be that much better when they arrive perhaps as soon as next year but let me know what you guys think sound off in the comments section and if you're interested in any of the products
