The Verdict
If you think it looks like the AirPods Pro are outmatched by the Beats Fit Pro, you’re right. However, it’s also important to keep in mind that the AirPods Pro were released over two years ago, and apart from the addition of MagSafe to the charging case, they’ve remained unchanged.
The Beats Fit Pro, on the other hand, are brand new. In fact, they include some of the same features on Apple’s newest AirPods 3, including Apple’s latest improved skin detection sensor. From a technical perspective, it’s understandable that they have an edge. Apple has put its best foot forward into giving them every bit of the most sophisticated earphone technology it can muster.
We’ll eventually see second-generation AirPods Pro coming along as well, but the latest inside info suggests that won’t be until the later part of next year. The Beats Fit Pro are here now.
Of course, at the end of the day, there are still many more subjective reasons to choose one set of earbuds over the other, but don’t be thrown off by the lower price tag on the Beats Fit Pro, as you’re really getting almost everything that the AirPods Pro offer at an even better price.
