The Beats Fit Pro True Wireless are the sportier sibling of the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. Unlike the Studio Buds, they're packed with a few more iOS-centric features like an H1 chip for seamless pairing with your Apple devices, adaptive EQ, which is advertised by Apple to optimize sound delivery to the unique shape of your ears, and Spatial Audio support including head tracking. They also have an adaptive active noise cancelling (ANC) system that automatically adapts to the noise around you. Unfortunately, users have reported a buzzing sound coming from their left bud. It's worth noting that we didn't experience this issue, though.

Our Verdict

7.2 Neutral Sound

The Beats Fit Pro are satisfactory for neutral sound. They have an excited, v-shaped sound profile that delivers extra thump and punch while vocals and instruments are clear and bright. That said, even though they have an app, it lacks sound customization features, so you can't easily adjust their sound to your needs. On the upside, they support Apple's Spatial Audio. This feature only works on iOS but tracks your head movements to give you a more dimensional experience.

Pros
  • Apple's Spatial Audio feature available via iOS devices.
Cons
  • Bad passive soundstage.
7.7 Commute/Travel

The Beats Fit Pro are good for commute and travel. These small buds are lightweight and can be easily stored in your pocket or bag when you're on the go. Thanks to their ANC system, they can also block out the low rumbles of bus and plane engines well. Although their over five-hour continuous battery life may not be enough for long trips, their carrying case holds an extra three charges, which is handy in a pinch. They have a bulky fit, and you may find them uncomfortable for long listening sessions, depending on your ear shape.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Great noise isolation performance.
Cons
  • Sub-par continuous battery life.
8.1 Sports/Fitness

The Beats Fit Pro are great for sports and fitness. Thanks to their stability fin design, they won't fall out of your ears during a run or workout. They're also well-built and are rated IPX4 for resistance against water splashes. However, some users may find their bud shape and fins uncomfortable as they don't fit all ears well. The fins are non-removable, so you can't get rid of them if they annoy you.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Very stable in-ear fit.
Cons
  • Bad passive soundstage.
6.9 Office

The Beats Fit Pro are fair for office use. While these well-built buds have noise cancelling to help block out coworker chit-chat, their 5.2-hour continuous playback time may not be enough to get you through your shift unless you take the time to recharge them up again. They also don't support multi-device pairing, meaning you won't stay connected to your PC and smartphone simultaneously, and their fit can be uncomfortable, depending on the shape of your ear.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Great noise isolation performance.
  • H1 chip for seamless pairing with Apple devices.
Cons
  • No multi-device pairing.
  • Unremarkable microphone performance.
  • Sub-par continuous battery life.
5.2 Wireless Gaming

The Beats Fit Pro are Bluetooth-only headphones. While you can use them via Bluetooth on PCs, their latency is likely too high to be recommended for this purpose.

5.1 Wired Gaming

The Beats Fit Pro are Bluetooth-only earbuds; you can't use them wired.

6.5 Phone Calls

The Beats Fit Pro are just okay for phone calls. Their integrated mic has a mediocre overall performance, and while your voice is understandable, it sounds thin, dark, and muffled. The mic also really struggles to separate your voice from background noise, and speech can be drowned out altogether if you're taking a call from a busy street. They have ANC and can help block out sounds around you as you talk.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Great noise isolation performance.
Cons
  • No multi-device pairing.
  • Unremarkable microphone performance.
  • 7.2 Neutral Sound
  • 7.7 Commute/Travel

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The Beats Fit Pro come in several color variants: 'Beats Black', 'Beats White', 'Sage Gray', 'Stone Purple', 'Volt Yellow', 'Tidal Blue', and 'Coral Pink'. They also come in three skin-toned colorways as part of Kim K's Special Edition collection: 'Moon', 'Dune', and 'Earth'. We tested the 'Beats Black' variant, but it doesn't have a label. If you come across another variant of these headphones, please let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.

Compared To Other Headphones

The Beats Fit Pro are the sportier sibling of the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. Unlike those buds, though, they're full of new features like Apple's Spatial Audio when connected to an iOS device and active noise cancelling (ANC), as well as old Beats staples like an H1 chip for seamless pairing with Apple devices. They also have stability fins, which ensures that they don't fall out during your run or workout, and are even rated IPX4 for water resistance, making them a solid choice for workouts or runs in the park. However, their design isn't as comfortable as similar sporty choices like the Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless or the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless.

These buds have a sleek in-ear look that's somewhat similar to the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. However, they also have non-removable stability fins that you can fold to better fit the curve of your ear. The manufacturer's logo is on each bud's button, and they come in several main color variants, so it's easy to find a pair that matches your look: 'Beats Black', 'Beats White', 'Sage Gray', 'Stone Purple', 'Volt Yellow', 'Tidal Blue', and 'Coral Pink'.

These buds have a fairly comfortable and lightweight fit, but they don't feel as pleasant in-ear as the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. They have a one-size-fits-all bud shape that's a little bulky, so they may be too large if you have small ears. Some users have reported their fit to be uncomfortable and that the buds' plastic body can hurt after time, depending on the shape of your ear. The malleable stability fins can become uncomfortable over time, especially as you can't remove them.

The Beats Fit Pro have unremarkable controls. There's a button on each bud, and the controls are easy to use, as the left and right buttons have the same commands. The buttons give you mechanical feedback to let you know when you've pushed the button, and there are also beeps to indicate that you've registered a command. However, there aren't any voice prompts. While there isn't volume control by default, you can remap it via the companion app. It'll allow you to assign the volume up or down controls to either the left or right bud. You'll lose ANC control if you re-map volume controls, though.

On either bud:

  • One press: Plays and pauses audio. Also answers and ends calls.
  • Double press: Skips the track forward.
  • Triple press: Skips the track backward.
  • Press and hold: Cycles between ANC, 'Transparency mode', intended to let you hear ambient sound while listening to audio, and both modes off. You can change this command to activate voice assistant in the companion app.

However, it's smaller, and there's a magnet to hold the buds in place. If you mold the stability fins to fit your ears, you won't have an issue closing the case. That said, the case doesn't support Qi Wireless charging.

Build Quality

Their build quality is good. Like the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless and Beats Studio Buds True Wireless, they have a plastic design that feels sturdy enough to survive accidental drops and falls. They also have an IPX4 rating, so they can easily resist splashes of water. Unfortunately, the tips and fins are slightly flimsy and can be prone to ripping over time.

Stability

The Beats Fit Pro have great stability thanks to their stability fin design. Although they don't have ear hooks like the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless, once you have a good seal, they won't move around, even if you have small ears.

Sound Profile
Bass Amount
-1.18 dB
Treble Amount
-1.31 dB

The Beats Fit Pro have a very slight v-shaped sound profile. Their extra bass adds a touch of thump and punch to mixes while vocals and instruments are bright. It can sound a little harsh, and unfortunately, they lack sound customization features to help you adjust their sound to your liking. There have also been a few reports that the headphones sound better with their ANC off. We performed subjective listening to see if there was a difference in sound quality between ANC on and off. When off, they sounded a bit clearer and less boxy. That said, when we did a sweep to compare frequency responses, there wasn't a difference between both modes.

We originally had trouble testing these buds. Their fin design is somewhat large and tends to cause the buds to slowly fall out of our test rig's ears. In addition, they have an adaptive EQ feature, but there are conflicting reports online regarding how to activate it. As a result, we can't confirm whether the EQ is enabled when the ANC is on or off. However, after retesting them, we achieved slightly different results in the treble range than our original measurements, and we're currently unsure whether these changes are due to a firmware update or test variations. That said, we conducted all of the sound tests except for 'Noise Isolation' with the ANC off.

The frequency response consistency of these buds is alright. Since they have non-removable stability fins, it can be tricky to get a good fit, especially if your ear is too large or small to accommodate the fins. That means you can experience slight deviations in bass and treble delivery. On the upside, they come with a couple of differently-sized ear tips so that you can find the best fit.

These headphones have outstanding bass accuracy, as the response is fairly flat and even. There's a bump in the low to mid-bass that adds a touch of extra thump, rumble, and punch to your mixes, but it's not enough to overwhelm vocals and instruments. In songs like Vegas by Doja Cat, the bassline is still prominent but doesn't bleed into or muddy the mid range.

Dips

The Beats Fit Pro have a very good peaks and dips performance. They can control their sound profile well, although there are a couple of notable deviations. A peak in the low-bass adds thump and rumble to mixes. In the mid range, the L/R drivers fall out of sync, resulting in a dip in the low-mid, which only affects the left driver, thinning out vocals and instruments, while a dip in the mid-mid only affects the right driver, nudging these sounds to the back of the mix. After this point, the drivers are more in sync, so a peak across the high-mid to low-treble makes the upper harmonics of vocals and instruments sound bright and intense. Another peak in the mid-treble renders sibilants like cymbals piercing.

These buds have a passable imaging performance. Most of Beats' products have good quality control and ergonomics, ensuring the L/R drivers are well-matched. However, our unit displays a slight mismatch. A small peak in the low-bass range of the group delay response indicates that the bass is slightly loose. There's also some mismatch in phase response, particularly in the mid range. However, it's minor and hard to hear with real-life content. On the upside, the drivers are well-matched in amplitude and frequency response, which helps ensure a balanced and stable stereo image.

These buds have a bad passive soundstage, although this is normal from in-ear headphones. Like the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro True Wireless, sound doesn't interact with your outer ear, which is one of the factors in creating an out-of-head sound experience. As a result, their passive soundstage seems small and as if coming from inside your head. Since the buds also have a closed-back design, their soundstage is perceived as closed-off.

Although there's a sharp peak between the mid to high-bass, it's very hard to hear with real-life content as it's a very small frequency band that's affected. The rest of the response falls within good limits, producing clear and pure audio reproduction.

When we originally tested these headphones, we encountered issues keeping the ANC on, which affected our noise isolation results. After using silicone to activate the sensors, we could retest this feature. These buds have an adaptive noise cancelling system, automatically adjusting their performance based on the noise around you. As a result, they can block out a great amount of ambient noise, like the low rumble of bus engines. They can also tackle ambient chatter and the high-pitched hum of computer fans.

That said, there's a bit of cabin pressure present, which is the feeling of pressure inside your ear similar to if you were inside a plane descending or ascending, as well as white noise, which can be irritating. Their transparency mode doesn't feel as natural as the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless, but you'll still hear your surroundings well.

These buds have excellent leakage performance. Leakage is most prominent in the treble range and sounds fairly thin. If you're jamming out to your favorite tunes at high volumes, others around you won't be bothered by it.

The Beats Fit Pro's integrated mic has a mediocre noise-handling performance. It has trouble separating speech from ambient noise, so your voice can be drowned out if you're taking calls from a busy street or office.

These buds have a mediocre battery performance. The manufacturer advertises them to last six hours continuously, but we measured just over five. Battery life varies depending on use, though. Luckily, their carrying case supplies an extra three charges. They also have a five-minute quick charge that delivers one hour of playtime when the battery's low, and you can even use one bud while the other is charging. If you value a longer continuous battery life, check out the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 instead.

The Beats app is sub-par. Unfortunately, unlike the app that accompanies the Sony LinkBuds S Truly Wireless, it lacks sound customization features like an EQ or presets. On the upside, it works with iOS and Android devices. You can remap the ANC controls for volume control. You can also manually switch between ANC on, transparency mode, which allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the buds, and normal. If you're using an Android device, you can register your buds for updates.

These buds have alright Bluetooth connectivity. Unlike the Beats Studio Buds + True Wireless, they have an H1 chip, which lets you seamlessly pair them with your Apple devices. If you like to stream video, they have low latency on iOS devices, ensuring your audio and visuals stay in sync. Their latency on Android devices is higher, but it still falls within good limits. However, their PC latency falls out of good limits, so lip-syncing issues can be present. Keep in mind that some apps and devices compensate for latency.
