Pros & Cons
Beats Beats Fit Pro
- Wingtip fit stays put through workouts that pop stemmed buds loose
- Full Apple H1 feature set: ANC, Transparency, auto-switching
- IPX4 sweat and water resistance
- Compact case for a wingtip design
- Wingtips fit some ears better than others, unlike open-stem AirPods
- No wireless charging case option
- Beats app extras lean Android; iOS gets the H1 shortcuts instead
- Discontinued, so replacement tips and wingtips get harder to source
Beats Powerbeats Pro (2nd gen)
- First Powerbeats with ANC and Transparency mode
- Built-in heart-rate sensor, no separate strap needed
- H2 chip brings current AirPods Pro-level call quality
- Ear hooks stay put through workouts the wingtip-style Fit Pro can't handle
- Heaviest earbuds on this list at 86.4g
- Ear-hook fit is more visible and less discreet than stem or stemless buds
- Case is noticeably larger than any other Beats or AirPods case here
- Costs the most used of any earbud on this list, it is the newest and most capable
