Best wireless noise cancelling earbuds I have used so far. I am a long-time user of the Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones. These are my favorite noise cancelling option to use while taking walks. I like to listen to audio books while walking and the QuietComfort 20 are superb for this use. I also like to use a noise cancelling option while listening to audio books and podcasts in the car, especially because my car does not contain road noise well. I decided I would like to have a second QuietComfort 20 reserved for use in my car. An additional advantage to having a second one is if anything happens to the one I walk with, I’ll have a backup. But, unfortunately, Bose discontinued the QuietComfort 20 forcing me to have to find another option for use in the car.I first purchased the wireless Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. But I found much to dislike about them. They feel heavy in the ears; the buds themselves just feel heavier and less comfortable than the QuietComfort 20 Headphones. I also disliked that every time I put the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds into my ears they speak to me telling me they are trying to connect to my device and also reporting battery state. I found this incredibly annoying. Another thing I hugely disliked was that there is an uncomfortable “boom boom” sensation as I walk with them in. I wear Vibram FiveFinger shoes and do not walk with a heavy gait. I do not get this “boom boom” sensation when walking with the QuietComfort 20 headphones. I also disliked how big the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds’ case was. I disliked how the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds sometimes felt like they weren’t secure in my ears and when I would try to adjust their stability I would accidentally change the noise cancellation setting. On two occasions, an uncomfortable high pitched sound emitted from one of the buds; it only lasted for a couple seconds but it was annoying. I tried using the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds for a month and never could bring myself to like them, so I returned them. I now have a strong dislike for Bose, primarily because they discontinued my beloved QuietComfort 20 Headphones. But up until recently, I was a huge Bose fan.I purchased Apple AirPods Pro. I immediately fell in love with the H1 chip operation. But I didn’t like the color white. I also didn’t like the stalk that extends down. But I started using them thinking I had found my noise cancelling option for the car. And although the AirPods Pro delivered some “boom boom” sensation while walking, it was much much better than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. Then I started to become aware of a huge problem with the AirPods Pro. They would not stay in my ears. I would place them in ear, hear the noise cancellation activate and then in time the noise cancellation would turn off because one of the pods had pushed out of my ear enough to cause the noise cancellation function to disengage. I found myself constantly having to push them into my ear in an effort to keep them from pushing out. A couple times they plain fell out of my ears. I consulted instructionals on how to properly insert them into my ears for proper fit. I also did the fit test and passed the test indicating I had good seal. Only the seal wouldn’t last and the pods would eventually push out of my ears. So I had to return the AirPods Pro because they wouldn’t stay in my ears.I purchased some non noise cancelling earbuds thinking that a passive seal would be enough, but I found a number of problems with this option. I didn’t like shoving thing way into my ear. Not only was it a little uncomfortable, but I also wondered about the sanitariness of touching (e.g., foam inserts) prior to shoving them into my ear. Maybe this could lead to ear infection? Also, the amount of sound isolation was too good which diminished my situational awareness while walking and/or driving. So passive noise block earbuds weren’t solving my use need.I was worried there was no option for the car and I would not have a backup to my beloved QuietComfort 20 headphones. I really wish I could buy another pair of QuietComfort 20 headphones just to have a backup for the future. After delaying and delaying, I decided to go to the trouble to try one last option for the car: the Beats Fit Pro. Eureka!The Beats Fit Pro are fantastic! They have the H1 chip, which is awesome. They fit and feel way better than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and are super secure in my ears, unlike the AirPods Pro. The Beats Fit Pro feel so light to wear. I can wear them all day and there is no discomfort. They also have a button to cycle through the noise cancellation options, which I like a lot better than the tapping that was needed on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. I also like the button press on the Beats Fit Pro better than the stalk-squeeze on the AirPods Pro.The one edge that I might say the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have over the others is the noise cancellation. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds arguably provide more intense noise cancellation that results in more of a bass presence and a sense that the content being played is closer to you. However, there is a cost to this that I don’t think is worth it. The biggest cost for me was the “boom boom” sensation while walking. I don’t know exactly what is to blame for this but it completely ruins the earbuds for what I want to use them for. I found the fit and noise cancellation of the Beats Fit Pro to be better suited to my needs.I wrote this to help others in their quest to find the earbuds that work best for them. I strongly recommend giving the Beats Fit Pro a try. I like them a lot. I think many others will too.ADDENDUM (added 2022-NOV): My beloved wired Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones stopped working a few weeks ago. I purchased the wired Bose Headphones many, many years ago and used them a lot, so it was not unexpected. Fortunately, the Beats Fit Pro have been able to replace the wired Headphones for my daily walks. The Beats Fit Pro have minimal “boom boom” sensation while stepping/walking. Although the Beats Fit Pro have more “boom boom” than the wired Bose Headphones, the “boom boom” is minimal and much, much better than offered by the wireless Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. I have been using the Beats Fit Pro in cold weather lately and discovered that the physical side button on the Beats Fit Pro works fantastically when wearing a hat. For example, if I am wearing a thick knit winter hat, I can still activate the side button on the Beats Fit Pro by pushing on the outside of the hat. This can’t be done with a touch-operation “button” like found on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. The AirPods Pro “button” might be more difficult to operate with a hat on too. So if you are intending to use earbuds under a hat or hood, Beats Fit Pro will give you the advantage of still having full, easy use of the side button for play/pause operation from outside the hat.

Compared to 4 other Earbuds. I bought these earbuds along with 4 other pairs, with the intent of comparing them over a couple weeks and returning all but my favorite. Here were the results:Beats Fit Pro – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JL65GNM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – These buds had some great base, and the wingtip gave them a fit that made them refuse to fall out of my ears. But the best feature? Physical “clicky” buttons on each one of the buds. You press in and hear/feel the click, rather than relying on a touchscreen-like feature. No need to guess if you tapped them once or twice, you will know.Cons – The wingtip gives a very sturdy fit, but not the most comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with smaller ears. The noise canceling was solid, but nothing special. And this may be picky, but I didn’t care for most of the color schemes available. I prefer my earbuds to be hard to notice, and even the black ones have a bright red letter “b” in the middle.Beats Studio Buds – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096SV8SJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Very comfortable with the same great physically “clicky” buttons as the Beats Fit Pro. Noise canceling seemed slightly better than average. Great base. Classic look.Cons – Tested during a workout, a little bit of sweat had these sliding right out of my ear. The case for these earbuds also was the flimsiest of any I had tested, with a very weak hinge that I was scared of breaking off within the 2 weeks of using.Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWZHHKP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – A neat feature that I noticed only in these earbuds was that it had noise amplification as well as noise cancelation. With one swipe in the app, the surrounding sound was actually louder and clearer than it would be without the earbuds in. Great if you are hard of hearing, or just enjoy snooping on conversations out of reach.Cons – Similar to the Beats Studio Buds, these didn’t stay in during a workout. They were usable, but every 10 minutes I found myself pushing them back into my ear. And this is an opinion, but these are the ugliest earbuds out of the bunch. The shiny black gleam made it look like a large beetle was hanging out in my ear. No visible brand placement either, which makes them appear cheap and generic rather than the quality Samsung they are.Samsung Galaxy Buds Live – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TBM1L3S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Cost effective! I added these to the test group because of the unique shape, and for that they are worth giving a try. If you have small ears and do not like the rubber insert that is standard in most other earbuds, these may be perfect for you.Cons – Poor fit for large ears. These were tested the least of all of the buds, because the fit was so bad for my ear shape that they wouldn’t stay in if I turned my head too fast.Bose QuietComfort – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4KWM9T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Bose noise canceling is unmatched. If your primary use for earbuds is to cancel out that background white noise, this is the pair for you. The sound quality is great, not too heavy on the base. The case for the earbuds stood out from the rest as the only one that impressed me. Felt very study, and I had no worries tossing it into a gym bag or cup holder. The only case with a button latch to make sure it doesn’t open accidentally.Cons – This was the most expensive pair of earbuds by a longshot, and there were still some things I felt could be improved. The rubber inserts had more of a “flayed” shape rather than the “rounded” shape that is standard. My guess is that this was by design, because the earbuds were also slightly heavier than others and may need that extra in-ear grip. The flayed shape did make them sturdier, but at the cost of them being uncomfortable in an active situation. They were also the largest earbuds, and stuck out from the side of my head further than I would have liked.My favorite? The beats fit pro! While I wouldn’t recommend this pair for everyone, it was perfect for my routine. My music taste benefits from the boosted base, and the wingtip shape was perfect for any workouts. The feature that really convinced me was the physical buttons, something that I didn’t realize how desperately I needed.
Update: I think my ears have gotten used to these buds and they don’t hurt as much after about 2-3 weeks of somewhat daily use. Still, there’s some discomfort after a while. So I guess it isn’t a big deal and I hope it stays that way even after I stop using the buds for a while.———————————Original full review:———————————My Galaxy Buds+ are starting to retire after 2 years of use and they’re hard to find for sale new and on a good deal. So might as well buy something new so I tried the Beats Fit Pro. This is a long post. This review is more for me (and Apple if they read this) but I still hope someone can find this helpful. There is a summary below.Sound Quality:-The BASS on this one definitely SLAPS and I love it! There’s a night and day difference from my Galaxy Buds+ with these on the bass. Using the song ‘We will rock you’ by Queen for comparison, you can really hear the thump of the floor/ground come through with the Beats Fit Pro. On the Buds+, it feels more like a sound effect than actual thumping feet.However, the tuning is dark and a bit muffled. I have to turn it a notch up on volume level. Furthermore, some detail is lost because of this and where it is outshined by the Buds+ which isn’t surprising because the Beats Fit Pro has a single dynamic drive, and the Buds+ has two (2) drivers, and they may be both balanced armatures (tends to have good detail/texture, but lackluster bass). It may be due to the physical characteristics of the drivers in both of these earbuds/drivers themselves and/or how they are tuned. Because of this the Beats Fit Pro are favored for excited, fun, bassy and beaty songs (e.g. Pop, Hip-hop, Rock, etc.), though it may be fatiguing after a while of listening. You might have to fiddle with the equalizer if you want it to sound the way you want it on other genres, but for average joes such as myself (with an occasional fits of OCD, lol), it’s fine as is. Definitely get this for the bass.Build quality:-Can’t say much about Apple products since it’s still a reputable brand even if I have gripes about them. You may not like the features/design but you can bet they’ve been thought out (somehow, at least) and quality is good. The earbuds themselves are great quality. Can’t say the same for the case as many YouTube reviews have pointed out. It’s still well built except the flimsy hinge which gives this cheap feel. On the other hand, the magnets feel secured but the lack of wireless charging is a turn-off (what’s next, Apple, it’s another $30 option for the 2nd Gen to get wireless charging? Oh please).The case is also a stain magnet. My case is already starting to discolor after a week even with careful use. I keep it in a sunglass cloth bag. I might even buy a case for the case if I decide to keep these.Usability:-I like the multifunction physical buttons but I can’t say I love them over touch controls. In my opinion, you can’t really compare both but there’s definitely a use-case for each. Physical buttons avoids accidental input from a slight touch. This is great for overhead workouts/movements. You can also operate even when wearing gloves that are not touchscreen-capable. On the other hand, you really have to be intentional as it require a bit of finesse of the fingers/hands to operate. To put it another way, it can be harder to operate if not using the fingers/hands for example sometimes I don’t want to touch my earbuds because my hands are dirty from touching something gross/dirty. With touch controls, I can use other parts of my arm/shoulder with bare skin to operate it. You can still operate the buttons without using your fingers but you might have to put more pressure than usual just to press the button which may hurt, not to mention the awkwardness. I don’t think one should worry of the in-ear pressure when operating the buttons normally by hand because it doesn’t take much pressure to press and the buttons are aligned to the wall cavity of the ear rather than the ear canal.-It’s hard to set the exact volume level using the multifunction button because the volume change is so fast on the Beats and there’s no audio cue, especially if you only want to change it a single notch. So you’ll have to be on perfect timing (good luck with that) to get to the level you want. For reference, the Galaxy Buds+ does it buy gradually change the volume one level every second and there’s an audible cue as it happens. This allows you to fine tune to the level you want without the fuss of having the perfect timing. As a result, I don’t use this feature on the Beats, which is a big let down for me because I tend to use this feature a lot. This would be the second biggest reason to return these if ever. This can be fixed by a firmware update, potentially. But after using the buds after a while, I realized the use case for holding the button is more suited for toggling noise cancelling and transparency mode. Would still be great to have the feature from Samsung to turn on transparency mode when you speak.-One major con is that my right ear hurt after an hour of use. When I put it on straight from the box, I barely felt anything and was very glad as it was a big concern for me as I had the same issue with the AirPods Pro 2 before, and which I had to return for that reason. That’s when I used their ear fit test in the app, which suggested I size up on ear tips (biggest). I have to agree with the test result because when I used the Mediums, I can barely tell a difference with and without the noise cancelling. The sound was also a lot better with the Large size. Also, you will get a more secure fit with the wing tips with the right size tips. Maybe I’ll get used to it over time and I’m gonna use it as much as possible and if I don’t get used to it before my return window closes, I’m gonna have to send it back. I suggest people with this same issue do the same.Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode:-Obviously it’s not on par with Sony’s or Bose’s but I’m happy enough and I think it’s actually really good. It does a great job at blocking people’s voices, great for office or café settings. And when music is on, you won’t hear noise at all. It’s more to augment your listening experience than anything. There was even one time I was working inside a van and I left the engine running for a good couple of hours and I forgot about it was running until I was looking for van’s keys. Also on my daily walks in the city, the sound of the passing cars is reduced to a negligible hiss. So I imagine this would be great for commuting/flights.-Transparency mode doesn’t sound very natural and it can become disorienting at times. It replicates close to if not the actual volume/loudness of external sounds. It’s good enough as I don’t really see a need for this feature as it’s more of a convenience feature so you don’t have to take them off. If you want to hear your surroundings then you shouldn’t have anything in your ear in the first place.Other (negative) comments:-It seems to toggle between transparency mode and noise cancelling all of a sudden. Happens quite a few times. It happens more commonly when I paused my media, then resume playing after a few moments. On other times I don’t even touch anything at all. Also one time when I removed and put back the right earbud, the music resumed playing on it but the button wouldn’t work. It worked again when I put both sides back on. So weird.-I have concerns with connectivity with non-Apple devices. Any weird/bad thing that occurs I tend to think of this reason. For example if there’s a cut out in connection (not very often, but it happens) even though my phone is in my hand or computer is in front of me, or the case I mentioned above, etc. Also, the automatic connection to paired devices (especially the last one) is erratic, and might I say, device-picky at times (again, I don’t have anything Apple). It connects automatically to my PC but not on my Galaxy phone.======================Pros and Cons Summary:======================Notable Pros:-Physical buttons (also a con, see below) avoid accidental input especially when doing overhead workouts as opposed to capacitive touch on other earbuds. The buttons have a satisfying and reassuring click.-Nicely secured magnetic case. I don’t see the buds going anywhere even if you shake it vigorously. You have to be very deliberate for this to come out of the buds. It might be the best one on the market on this aspect.Cons:-Hurts the ears (major, big con). Masochists rejoice! Not me. And this is the only reason I’m still on the fence on keeping these buds.-No way to turn off input/presses on earbuds unlike on Samsung’s Galaxy Buds. While the physical buttons avoid accidental input, a press blocker would be beneficial when lying on your side on the bed with a pillow as sometimes the buttons are pressed as the earbuds stick out a bit. I know this is mostly marketed for active people more than for people lying on their beds, but come on.-Physical buttons require a bit of finesse of the fingers/hands themselves to operate. To put it another way, it can be harder to operate if not using the fingers/hands for example sometimes I don’t want to touch my earbuds because my hands are dirty from touching chicken meat and I also work in a dirty-ish industry and I use these on the job for calls and music (especially mine are the white ones).-The lack of wireless charging for the price is appalling even when on sale.-No adjustment on transparency mode.-Case doesn’t feel very premium because of the flimsy hinge (minor con).In closing:It’s sad to think that some features are not available on non-Apple devices. Seriously this petty “exclusivity” is so childish and greedy. I’m not on Apple’s ecosystem so if I buy any of their products to use and if there’s anything weird or bad going on I tend to suspect this discrepancy in brand. You think it’s genius because it may want people to consider buying more of your products to make the most of them, but it’s actually not. It’s a massive turn off. It’s outright silly, divisive, and not very inclusive in technology age we are in now.
Finally, Something By Beats I Can Endorse. I work in radio. I’ve done it for 30+ years and one of the curses/blessings of working with audio is I have grown to understand intimately what really good audio sounds like. I have used countless number of headphones and earbuds (and there 𝙄𝙎 a difference between the two) and there are a few names which stand above the rest, and I’m not going to get into a debate because so-called, ‘Audiophiles’ will claim they know better (Which begs the question, how does one actually 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 an Audiophile in the first place? Is there a course you can take, or does one simply give themselves that title? But I digress…) when Beats first hit the scene, they were unquestionably an astonishing waste of money. Their audio quality was maybe a shade above average at best. But, that didn’t stop millions of people from buying them at outrageous prices. Well, the uncontested King of over-priced products (apple) got wind of this and did a takeover of their products and an interesting thing happened: their quality got BETTER.Did they become as good as most “professional” headphones out there…? Probably not. However, their earbuds did become notably better. I feel it necessary to point out that while Beats headphones were nowhere as good as many claimed, their earbuds from the beginning seemed to be pretty good from the get-go. Their unique “hook” style which wrapped around your ear for a secure fit (you either love this style or not – but you cannot argue that they did not fit and stay in place better than almost any other brand out there). Some of their other wired earbuds were still decent as well, if not priced at the upper end of what most people were willing to pay, but at least the earbuds could be counted on to give you an above average experience.Apple buys them out and reorganizes the entire company. Suddenly they are no longer all over the place like they used to be. Famous people were no longer wearing them everywhere you looked. Then apple releases their Beats branded earbuds, the Powerbeats Pro. Love them or hate them, they made an impact.They were also equipped with apple tech like their H1 chip which made them instantly compatible with iPhones (a pretty smart move, actually) and the audio was excellent, especially for working out. Then they release the Beats Fit Pro.A radically different design. But – a welcome one, especially for someone who loved the Powerbeats great audio quality, but not the hook design. Again, it’s hard to please everyone when it comes to something that fits inside your ears that have so many different possible sizes and an almost infinite number of differences from one person to the next…like the apple airpods, one size fit 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩…and if you were one of the people they did not fit, well you were kind of SOL. At least with the Fit Pro they opened up better fitting to a much larger segment than the airpods and with the included wing-tip design, they immediately caught the eye of many athletes who need earbuds which stay put while sometimes being fairly aggressive in their workouts. If you were not a fan of the Powerbeats hook style, the Fit Pro’s must have looked like a gift from On High.FIrst off, they really DO sound great. Good bass without going too deep. Music NEEDS good bass, but if it thumps too hard, it will ruin audio in more ways than I can describe here. Mids and Highs were also both pretty crisp and not overly isolated. The blend just works. Whoever tuned the Fit Pro should be commended for doing such a great job.ANC was…disappointing. To be fair, to get great ANC into such a tiny device really IS a challenge and oftentimes going all-in on this feature usually means you sacrifice audio quality. In this case, Beats chose to put more into the audio than into the ANC. I had a difficult time even recognizing that it was even turned on at all. Maybe my pair simply isn’t doing it’s job. However, the OnePlus buds Z2 has ANC that is actually pretty good and still has really impressive audio as well, so I’m not exactly sure why the Fit Pro’s is so difficult to even tell if ANC is on or off, but I can only review what I have and that seems to be the case with my particular pair.The wing-tip design really works well – for me at least. They provide a pretty good fit and they stay put incredibly well. My biggest problem with earbuds is exactly that. Either they’ll fit well, or almost not at all. It doesn’t seem to fall anywhere in between. My OnePlus buds Z2 sound great, but I constantly find myself adjusting them in my ears – which honestly is annoying. The Fit Pro’s (at least in my case) I set them in, twist to secure the wing-tip and they just stay put. This is going to be subjective since everyone is slightly different, so keep in mind my experience with how they fit in my ear may not mirror your own.You can do a little customizing with the app. I do have an iPhone but I primarily use an android, so I downloaded the app and you can to a bit of customizing, however, not as much as I would have liked to have seen given what these earbuds are capable of. I believe the iPhone integration has quite a bit more options than the android counterpart. This seems to be more the norm these days as apple and Samsung work hard to reward you for buying products that are more in line with their products than the competition. I wish they’d both put an end to this childish bickering and open up all their products that can be used on other platforms to include all the options that they would have if you paired it with an iPhone or a Samsung. Either you want your customers to get the best bang for their buck or not.I like the physical buttons the Fit Pro uses. You’ll know by touch that you’ve pressed it instead of simply the “touch” controls which in my experience can be hit or miss. When they work great, it’s awesome. But do they all work perfectly every time? Of course not. With buttons, they seem to work pretty much 100% of the time and that’s something I appreciate.No wireless charging. At this point, especially for the cost, that really is something they should have included. Is it a deal breaker? For some it very well could be. It wasn’t for me, but I love wireless charging and think every pair of wireless earbuds over $100 really ought to include it. I know earbuds that cost under $40 that do, so to not include it here seems to be almost an insult. They use USB-C charging which IS convenient however. Beats claims they have fast charging however, in fact they call it “Fast Fuel” where just 5 minutes of charging will net you an hour of listening…I haven’t been able to check this, but I CAN state that they do seem to charge pretty quick, so that may negate some of the disappointment of not having wireless ability, but necessarily so.The case is pretty nice, too. It is quite a bit smaller than the case for the Powerbeats, but still larger than what you get with the airpods. I honestly didn’t mind the size at all, so this one is also going to be pretty subjective.For the most part, these are the first apple made earbuds that I can recommend even if you own an android device. The audio is stellar and they seem to hold a charge for about an average length of time for earbuds of this size. I rarely listen for more than about an hour, maybe 2 at the most, so I’m not the guy to look for with advice on listening at length (unless it’s for headphones, then I can make a LOT of recommendations). Honestly, I’m happy with mine. Are they perfect? No. But are they worth it? I sure think so.***UPDATE***I purchased some memory foam eartips…not sure that this was a wise decision. Not because they don’t work or fit well, but because they are slightly larger, it means fitting them back into the charging case either they won’t charge or they’ll be problematic to fit properly. Now, in all fairness, this wasn’t an issue with the smallest foam eartips, but the medium and larger ones did not like to fit back into the case. They also did not really make any noticeable difference is audio quality, so I switched back to the original tips they came with. Lesson learned.
All the benefits of AirPod pros but a more secure fit. I have had Airpods, Airpod Pros, Tozo NC2’s, and several other sets of Bluetooth wireless headphones. Each one has different features that I really like and some features that are missing.Pros:The Beats Fit Pros really excel in many areas. They absolutely rival the sound of the last set of Airpod Pros I had. I honestly cannot think of one time that I’ve thought, “These are good, but they aren’t Airpod Pros.” The sound quality is excellent and the tap button on each ear make for really easy to use controls. I like having a tactile button that you can feel when it is pressed as opposed to some other versions that just use touch.The BEST feature of these, however, is the fit. They are really comfortable. So much so, that there are times that I forget I’m wearing them. And they do not fall out. I use them a lot (that’s probably why they look a little dirty in the picture). I keep the case in my pocket all day while I’m at work. I use them to answer phone calls and I’ve found them to be very natural sounding. I also excercise in them regularly.One other tidbit…the noise cancelling is really good. I coach a volleyball team, and some of the match environments we go to are EXTREMELY loud. I wear these in NC mode, and it quiets everything done.Cons:Battery life. While I don’t kill them super fast, if you wanted to leave home and wear them and use them all day…well, that’s not going to happen. I’ve found that I put them in at 100% and go for a 1 hour run listening to podcasts or music and they are at about 80%. Constant use of music/phone calls, you might get a continuous 6 hours. However, the case does charge very quickly.The case. I don’t love the feel of the case. It’s really slick. It goes in and out of your pants pocket really easily, but it will also slip out of your hands easily as well. It doesn’t feel badly, it’s just a little slick for me. The other thing I don’t love about the case is that I wish you had an idea of how much charge the case has without using your phone. I know the case and Beats Fit Pro vitals are meant to be read on the phone screen, but it would be nice to not have to sometimes.All in all, for $50+ savings on the Airpod Pros (sometimes even more than that) I would definitely buy again.
I ordered these, hoping they would work for me. But alas, with my small ears, they did not work. The small earbud tip was good, and got a decent fit, but the wing tip is huge, barely could be bent to ‘fit’ in my ear, and caused painful pressure after less than an hour. (if the wing tip was removeable, or also able to change for size, these would be perfect. But it is not.)the sound quality it stunning, and the ANC is amazing. When I put them in, I was sitting next to a noisy air conditioner, and because the design senses when they’re in your ear – even though I wasn’t ‘listening’ to anything – they immediately cut the noise. I was sitting in a silent room. Crazy cool. And shocking how well it works. I tested the other sound settings, the ‘transparent’, which yes, could listen to music and also hear everything going on around me; as well as the basic ‘off’, which was between the two and a good choice for some situations.So, I was super sad to return these due to fit. Highly recommend. Seamless instant pairing for iphone. Simple settings found under the bluetooth connection for them (a dedicated app, [or setting] would be nicer & easier to locate)The one drawback is the face of the earbud is a ‘button’. so anytime you try to adjust how the earbud is sitting in your ear (like because it’s not fitting right) you press the button. Turning music on/off, or whatever you have the button etc. to control. And at least you can change what it operates.
I wanted to love these, but they were slightly uncomfortable. I was looking for new earphones specifically for fitness with the main usage test being running. I wanted to test across several price points to see which would be most worth the money. I’ve only had cheap running earphones before (though I have nicer cans that I use to listen with in other scenarios and some nice wired in ears for when I perform live). I don’t really care about noise cancelling. My primary criteria were about comfort (and if it can stay in my ear while running), and the sound quality vs price (how much marginal return do I get per dollar). I ended up picking a premium pair because you can really notice how much more digital/fake the audio sounds when testing side by side, the lower down in price you go.(note: a lot of what I put were just notes I was jotting down while testing them. I try to do a more succinct summary in the first line of each option, and then it gets more rambly/random after that)In the running:Sony WF-1000XM4 $189.00 | Beats Fit Pro – $179 | Power Beats Pro – $179 | Jabra Elite 4 Active – $89 | JBL Endurance Peak 3 – $89.95 | Soundcore Sport X10 – $69.99 | JLab JBuds Air Sport – $69.88 | Golrex $29.99 | BMani T16 $39.99Here are my thoughts:Power Beats Pro – $179 ($149 on sale) – My winner overallSounds great. It is not the best sound I’ve heard in earphones, but doesn’t seem to lack anything. Has good thumpy bass, presence in the mids, and good clarity up high. Nothing to complain about the sound.Big/heavy case (doesn’t matter that much, but I do take these on big hikes so smaller case would have been nicer)I think ultimately will be more comfortable for long use than the Fit pro. The stock medium tips fit fine, unlike the fit pro for some reason.Sounds essentially the exact same as the fit pro which makes senseBeats Fit Pro – $179I wanted this to be my favorite. It’s light, small, has fun color options, and sounds great. But it ultimately was just not comfortable enough to leave in my ears for longer than 45 minutes. This would vary from person to person obviously.Pretty comfortable, but had to switch to the small eartips (only earbuds I had to switch from the medium/stock tips). Stays in the ears well, but I think that the whole thing being in there will get uncomfortable pushing my ears after a while. Really little case which is nice.Really great clarity, feels perfectCan’t find any eq in the app, but I didn’t feel the need to adjust any eq settings either, every band/frequency was very satisfying, so that’s kind of nice not having to set it myselfSony WF-1000XM4 $189.00I believe this has a slightly fuller sound quality to it. Can’t really pinpoint how or why, but seems to be the most superior sound quality of all of them. I thought it might be better bass but that’s not it. I can’t pick a part any individual component that seem superior, it just has an overall fuller soundThere just doesn’t seem to be any way that these are going to stay in during a run. Would be great for any non-exercise application, but just wasn’t what I was looking for. I would choose these if I were looking for just walk around town kind of earbuds.Jabra Elite 4 Active – $89Great clarity and bass out of the box. I am the kind of guy who can only really tell sound differences when a/b testing it. If I only listened to these earbuds, I would have been fully satisfied with the sound quality, the comfort, and the security. It’s only because I tested it next to the premium models above that I decided not to go with this. But if this is your budget range, these are definitely the winners.Excessively comfortable, like the most comfortable of any of the earbuds (premiums included), and feel like they will stay in on a run even though they don’t have any sort of little hook like the soundcore or powerbeats, or over ear hook like the others. Definitely the best ergonomics. Would take this over the JBL endurance or any other in the sub $150 price range.Soundcore Sport X10 – $69.99more satisfying for non edm music than the other options down below. Better separation for instruments and vocals.Compared against JLabs with blue tips in, the bass is more comparable. Soundcore keeps more clarity than on higher end (albeit a little tinny sounding), than JLabsBass is definitely much better than JLabs. It does feel a bit more muddy because of the heavier bass, there may have been better vocal clarity with JLabsEverything else seems fineANC is decentsmall profile is light, really comfortable and stays in the earsJLab JBuds Air Sport – $69.88bigger profile, slightly less comfortable than the Soundcore. Bass is lacking out of the box. There’s better mid and high clarity on these than the soundcore.Bass improves a noticeable amount by switching to blue tips, but you lose some clarity higher upbass feels punchier in edm in these than x10These are definitely more satisfying for thumpy edm music than the x10The sound quality just feels lacking in depth, no matter which eq setting you choose.Has a connected usb charger on the case as a charger (rather than a separate chord to plug into both charger and power), which I don’t think I likeJBL Endurance Peak 3 – $89.95Clear vocals and instruments in mids and highs. Slightly more clear and crisp than the soundcoreNice bass as well, (slightly worse bass than soundcore), less satisfying than the sound core on lyrical song but actually has punchier bass on edmPlenty loud (other reviews saying they don’t get loud)The equalizer app gives lots of controlThis bass is also superior once equalized. So both bass and instrumental/vocals have more clarity. After messing with eq, is better than soundcore.This sounded perfectly fine until compared with higher tier, then when a/b compared it sounded a bit more fake, a bit more digital, definitely enough to notice a differenceGolrex $29.99It is okay sound, probably the best in this price range. If you just want something cheap that will give you sound, these are fine. If you care about sound quality even a little bit, it’s worth it to get a better headset.There is no clarity at any frequency, just a decent amount of noise.Has an attempted cheap premium look with led interfaces.BMani T16 $39.99Sounds way below average, worse than the golrex.Really similar packaging and look to the golrex, so they’re either just copying each other or made by the same people
I really liked this set of earbuds. The sound was clear and they had good bass. They would not fall off my ears. I was very happy with them, except for a couple of things that bothered me. The first one was the bluetooth kept disconnecting depending on the area of the house I was entering. The same happened when I was outside, and my phone was in my purse, because of the movement it would disconnect sometimes. The second thing that bothered me was that after 1-2 hours or wearing them my ears started to hurt.The earbuds in itself are amazing, a bit pricey but of very good quality. You can drop them in water and they keep working. The only problem for me was my ears are sensitive, and I couldn’t wear them for too long.
Se escuchan muy bien. Para el precio/ calidad están bien y razonables

Wait for a sale but but they’ll still be expensive. If you can afford them then get them. Pass through is good and the noise cancellation is as good as having ear plugs in. Sound is exceptional. Lows, mids and highs all very good. Very happy with these. Additionally, they are amazing for workouts. They stay in without adjustment, all day. They did hurt my ears the first week or so but after I got used to the fit they’re better than anything I’ve ever owned. Battery would be the only downside but they’re so damn small I can’t fault them for only lasting 4hrs at near max volume. They only take 1hr to fully charge, so after lunch, they’re good for the rest of my shift.

Good quality, great sound. I’ve had these for two years now. They’re still working great. They’ve been through hell and back and haven’t dropped in quality at all.Highly recommend.The only con is the fin, it takes time for your year to get use to how it sits, hurt my ear for a little bit. But I also have small ears.They don’t fall out and they’re very sturdy.
