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 active noise cancelling (ANC), and while we had issues testing their noise isolation performance due to their skin sensor, they do a decent job of blocking out background noise around you. That said, not everyone will be a fan of their somewhat bulky bud shape and stability fin design. Users have also reported a buzzing sound coming from their left bud. It's worth noting that we didn't experience this issue, though.
The Beats Fit Pro are decent for neutral sound. Using their adaptive EQ feature, they have a fairly neutral sound profile with a slightly overemphasized high-mid and low-treble. It can help brighten vocals and lead instruments, but some users may find they sound a bit harsh. While their companion app doesn't offer customization features like an EQ or presets to help you adjust their sound, they're compatible with Apple's Spatial Audio feature when connected to iOS devices, which can help create a more immersive audio experience.
The Beats Fit Pro are fair for commute and travel. They have a lightweight, portable, and durable design, which makes it easy to tuck them into a pocket or bag when you're on the go. They also have an ANC system that can cut down some of the low rumble of bus and plane engines as well as ambient chatter. That said, their 5.2-hour continuous battery life may not be enough to get you through long trips without pausing for a recharge. Some users may also find their fit bulky and uncomfortable over time.
The Beats Fit Pro are great for sports and fitness. Thanks to their stability fin design, they shouldn't fall out of your ears during a run or workout. They're also well-built and are rated IPX4 for resistance against splashes of water. However, some users may find their bud shape and fins uncomfortable.
The Beats Fit Pro are passable for office use. While they're well-built and have ANC to help block out ambient chatter around you, their over five-hour continuous battery life may not be enough to get you through long shifts at work without recharging them during your break. They also lack multi-device pairing, so you can't connect them to your smartphone and PC at the same time.
The Beats Fit Pro are Bluetooth-only headphones. While you can use them via Bluetooth on PCs or use them for mobile gaming, their latency is likely too high to be recommended for this purpose.
The Beats Pro Fit are Bluetooth-only earbuds, and you can't use them wired.
The Beats Fit Pro are mediocre for phone calls. Their integrated mic has a mediocre overall performance, and while your voice is understandable, it sounds thin 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. That said, they have ANC and can help block out sounds around you as you talk.
The Beats Fit Pro have a sleek in-ear look that's somewhat similar to the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. However, they also have stability fins that you can fold to better fit the curve of your ear. There's a manufacturer logo on each buds' button, and they come in four color variants: 'Beats Black', 'Beats White', 'Sage Gray', and 'Stone Purple'.
The Beats Fit Pro have a fairly comfortable fit, but they don't feel as good as the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. They have a one-size-fits-all bud shape that's a little bulky, so if you have small ears, they may be too large. 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 too. That said, they feel lightweight.
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, but you'll lose ANC control.
On either bud:
The Beats Fit Pro are very portable headphones. Like the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless, you can easily fit them into most pockets or bags without an issue, even if they're in their carrying case.
These headphones have a good case. It's similar to the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless, with the same plastic body with a matte finish. 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 shouldn't have an issue closing the case.
The Beats Fit Pro have a good build quality. They feel similar built to the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless and Beats Studio Buds True Wireless with a mostly plastic design. They're also rated IPX4 for resistance against splashes of water. While they feel like they should survive a couple of accidental drops without taking too much damage, the tips and fins feel like they could rip over time.
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 shouldn't move around, even if you have small ears. They should also stay in place during moderate physical activity like a run in the park or a workout.
Using their adaptive EQ, the Beats Fit Pro have a fairly neutral sound profile that's suitable for a variety of audio content. That said, some users may find them a little bright, and their companion interface lacks sound customization features to help you adjust their sound to your liking. You can do a fit test in their companion app to ensure that you have the best seal, though.
Note: We normally conduct all of our sound tests with the ANC on when possible. However, there have been a few reports that the headphones sound better with their ANC off, as this turns on their adaptive EQ. The adaptive EQ feature doesn't work when the ANC is on. We did 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 at all. As a result, we have conducted all of the sound tests except for 'Noise Isolation' with the ANC off.
The Beats Fit Pro's bass accuracy is excellent. There's a small amount of mismatch present in the low to mid-bass, and the left driver delivers a bit more thump and rumble than the right. That said, overall, the headphones' bass response is fairly neutral, although a little underemphasized, so mixes have slightly less boom and warmth.
The mid accuracy is excellent. The low-mid is underemphasized, which slightly thins out your mix. However, the mid-mid is neutral, so vocals and lead instruments are present, while a bump in the high-mid makes them clear and intense.
The Beats Fit Pro have great treble accuracy. The low-treble is overemphasized, so vocals and lead instruments are detailed and present, though a bit harsh-sounding. The mid-treble is slightly underemphasized, and as a result, sibilants like cymbals are slightly lispy.
The Beats Fit Pro's peaks and dips performance is great. The left and right drivers are somewhat mismatched, and as a result, the left driver delivers significantly more thump and rumble than the right driver. A dip in the left driver's high-bass to low-mid slightly thins out your mix. A peak between the high-mid to low-treble can make vocals and lead instruments sound a bit harsh. Another peak in the mid-treble affects the right driver more than the left, and sibilants like S and T sounds are piercing.
The Beats Fit Pro's imaging performance is passable. The weighted group delay mostly falls below the audibility threshold, although a peak in the low-bass indicates a slightly loose bass. That said, the treble is transparent and clear. The L/R drivers are well-matched in amplitude and frequency response, indicating a balanced and stable stereo image. It's also important for the accurate placement and localization of objects like voices in the stereo image. However, while there's quite a bit of phase response mismatch, it shouldn't be noticeable for most users. Even the peak in the high-peak isn't really audible. Note that our results are only valid for our unit, and yours may perform differently.
The Beats Fit Pro's passive soundstage is bad, although this is to be expected from in-ear headphones. Sound can'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.
Like the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless, the Beats Fit Pro have a spatial audio feature. However, it's only available on iOS devices. You can also select head tracking, which reorients the virtual soundstage to move as your head moves. You can switch this feature to 'Off', 'Fixed', or 'Head Tracked' by holding the volume slider in the iOS menu.
These are the settings used to test these headphones. Our results are only valid when using these settings.
Update 01/26/2022: When testing the noise isolation performance of these buds, we experienced issues keeping their ANC on. During our sweeps, the ANC would turn off. We tried extending the sweep length, but the ANC still turned off. We also tried wearing the headphones in our own ears. The ANC would turn off at random times without any controls being used. We believe that due to these factors, the mismatch in our graph versus our subjective experience is an isolated incident and that we don't expect to encounter it each time we review headphones. That said, some users have also reported that their units have poor noise isolation. If you experience this issue with your buds, please let us know in the discussion section below.
During our tests, our sweeps show no difference between the Beats Fit Pro's noise isolation performance when the active noise cancelling (ANC) is off, on, or when set to transparency mode, and when we started the sweep, the ANC would turn off. Since these buds have a skin sensor, we used copper tape with a wire to keep their ANC on. We also did a fit test to confirm the seal between each pass. When we conducted a subjective listening of their ANC, we could tell that some frequencies were blocked when the ANC was on compared to when off. There's also a bit of cabin pressure present, as well as white noise. Comparatively, their noise isolation performance is better than what our graph displays. That said, we don't expect to encounter this issue with every headphone we test, and this is an isolated case.
These buds block out a decent amount of noise overall. They should help cut down the low rumble of bus and plane engines, as well as office chatter. That said, like earbuds like the Jabra Elite 75t Truly Wireless, their ANC only offers a marginally better noise isolation performance over their passive capabilities. With transparency mode on, you can hear more around you, but it doesn't feel as natural as the AirPods Pro Truly Wireless.
The Beats Fit Pro's integrated mic has a passable noise handling performance. It struggles to separate your voice from moderate ambient noise around you. If you need to take a call from a busy street, your voice may be drowned out altogether.
The Beats Fit Pro True Wireless have a passable battery performance. They're advertised to last roughly six hours continuously, and we measured just over five. That said, battery performance can vary depending on usage, so your real-life experience may vary. Luckily, their carrying case holds an extra three charges, which is one more charge than the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. They're advertised to have a five-minute quick charge for one hour of playtime when the battery is low, and you can also use one bud while the other one charges.
The Beats app is sub-par. Unfortunately, it lacks sound customization features like an EQ or presets. You can remap the ANC controls for volume control. You can also manually switch between ANC on, transparency mode, and normal. If you're using an Android device, you can register your buds for updates.
These headphones have okay Bluetooth connectivity. Thanks to their H1 chip, you can seamlessly pair them with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. Their latency is also somewhat low on Android devices, although it's much lower on iOS, which is good if you like to stream video from your phone. However, the latency on PCs is high, and there may be delays between your audio and visuals. That said, some apps and devices compensate for latency differently, and your real-life experience may vary.
The Beats Fit Pro are fully compatible with Bluetooth-enabled PCs. However, you can't connect these buds to your PC in any other way.
The Beats Fit Pro come in four color variants: 'Beats Black', 'Beats White', 'Sage Gray', and 'Stone Purple'. 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 discussions, and we'll update our review.
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 the Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless or the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless.
