Our Verdict

Apple AirPods (1st generation)

Fitbit Flyer Wireless

If you prefer the compact format of a truly wireless design, then the Apple AirPods (1st generation) will be a better choice. However, if you want a typical wireless in-ear for sports, go for the Fitbit Flyer Wireless instead. The Apple have an excellent 25-hour battery life, thanks to their compact and portable charging case. They also have an earbud design that most will find more comfortable than the FitBit. On the other hand, the FitBit have a more isolating in-ear fit, which makes them more suitable for noisy environments and commutes. The FitBit are more stable thanks to their multiple tips and stability fins sizes, and they have a lot more bass and will sound more exciting than the AirPods.
