The Beats Fit Pro (1st Gen) earbuds aren’t the newest exercise earbuds on the market, and they’re not reinventing the wheel; however, they’re a tried-and-true favorite with ANC and a comfortable fit, making them a sportier version of AirPods Pro for gym-goers and runners, with a slight added edge when it comes to battery life. Right now, a pair in white is 35% off and currently at its lowest price ever at $129.99 (originally $199.95).
These true wireless earbuds from Beats feature strong noise cancellation and Apple’s signature H1 chip, making them similar to AirPods Pro with Apple features such as spatial Audio with head tracking, Adaptive EQ, hands-free Siri, and one-touch iOS pairing. They last up to 6 hours with ANC on (compared to 4.5 hours on the Airpods Pro with ANC on) and get an extra 21 to 23 hours from the charging case.
Like most Beats headphones, they have physical touch buttons, which is a perk for those who don’t like touch controls. The buds fit “comfortably and securely,” according to CNET, despite having a one-size-fits-all wingtip design. They have 9.5mm drivers, which are a little more bass-heavy and punchy than AirPods Pro. The ANC is reliable, doing a good job of blocking out low-frequency sounds in crowded settings, but PCMag notes that it may not be as effective against higher frequencies, unlike slightly pricier models such as the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds.
While they surpass AirPods in a couple of categories, their six microphones perform slightly worse, with less clarity and less background noise reduction. That said, CNET still ranks them above the AirPods Pro for overall performance and fitness use. If you’re an Apple user looking for comfortable everyday earbuds that can be used everywhere from your daily commute to your workouts, the Beats Fit Pro (1st Gen) are a solid choice, especially at their lowest price ever.
