![]() ![]() ![]() One of the big downsides of the Beats Studio Buds is that they don't have Apple's H1 chip, so they're missing things like Apple's Adaptive EQ feature that detects how the earbuds are sitting in your ears and optimizes sound on the fly along, as well as spatial audio and auto switching between devices on your iCloud account. But that won't include wireless charging, which would require a hardware upgrade. The Beats Fit Pro currently have standard Find My, but Beats has confirmed that it's working to add enhanced Find My and the additional AirPods updates that were part of iOS 15.1 in a future firmware update. David Carnoy/CNET Virtually the same features as the AirPods ProĪside from the lack of wireless charging and MagSafe compatibility, the only other notable feature currently missing from the the Beats Fit Pro compared to the AirPods Pro is enhanced Find My with proximity view that allows you to precisely locate your AirPods within a few feet of where they might be hiding. You can get an extra 21 hours of juice or around 3.5 charge cycles when the case is fully charged. That's compared to around 4.5 hours for the AirPods Pro with noise canceling on and 5 with it off (the AirPods 3 also are rated for up to 6 hours but they don't have active noise canceling). ![]() That's not a big deal in my opinion, but you might disagree.īattery life is rated at up to 6 hours with noise canceling on and 7 hours with it off at moderate volume levels. However, it's missing the wireless or MagSafe charging found in AirPods Pro and AirPods 3 cases. In a bit of a nod to Android users, the case charges via USB-C not Lightning. The case for the Fit Pro isn't quite as small as the one for the AirPods Pro or even the Beats Studio Buds, but it's still compact and much smaller than Powerbeats Pro's case. The one big complaint about the Powerbeats Pro is their huge case. Watch this: Beats Fit Pro are the sports AirPods you've always wantedīefore I get into features and performance, I just have a few more comments about the design. I'm a little surprised Beats didn't do red for launch, but I'm sure you'll see more colors next year. They fit my ears really well and come in four color options - white, lavender, gray and black. The buds are lightweight, weighing 5.6 grams each and are IPX4 water-resistant, which means they're splash-proof (same as the AirPods Pro and AirPods 3). You can also issue other voice commands without touching a button. These also have always-on Hey Siri so you can raise and lower volume just by asking Apple's voice assistant. You can also program the long press to be volume controls on the buds themselves, a feature a lot of people have been asking for on the AirPods - and maybe one we'll see migrating to those models now that Beats has debuted it to the Appleverse. You use it to control music playback and answer and end calls - and a long press switches between noise-canceling and transparency modes. The case for the Fit Pro (middle) is a nice compromise between the gigantic Powerbeats Pro (left) and the smaller Studio Buds (right). ![]()
