The Beats Fit Pro are an intriguing proposition. At first glance, they look every bit the stylish, workout-friendly, active noise-cancelling earbuds with all the latest trappings that are currently glutting the market.
But there are glimmers of brilliance here: the presence of a Beats app for Android, for example, allows non-Apple users to reap the benefits and features of Apple's own brand products, which are usually closed off to anyone not in the iOS ecosystem. Better ANC, better sound and Spatial Audio are also teased and all for a decent price. Beats pricing is more competitive than its Apple, Bose and Sony rivals, all of which we tested at a higher price although discounts are now available across the board.
The earbuds themselves are lightweight, comfortable and offer a very secure fit thanks to new flexible wingtips that tuck into your ear. Whether you are running or on your daily commute, the Beats Fit Pro stay put without feeling uncomfortable. The IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance means they will survive rain or a sweaty workout too.
You get just three sets of ear tips small, medium and large) in the box, but we found a good fit easily.
