With nearly all the features of the AirPods Pro, including Apple’s H1 chip and noise canceling, the new $200 Beats Fit Pro have integrated wingtips that keep the buds securely in your ears for sporting activities. They also deliver strong sound and better battery life. How much better are they than Powerbeats Pro? And is there any reason remaining to get the AirPods Pro? CNET’s David Carnoy discusses all that and how the Fit Pro compare to the Beats Studio Buds.

    apple Airpod pro is still the most compact and convenient.

    Why are the elitist from Apple not letting Android users get the full features? I think every headphone/earbud maker outside of Apple only make their apps available for Android users.

    hold on Apple owns beats?

      Yep, for some time now

    I sold my studio buds & got airpod pros for mic quality and device switching plus wireless charging is good too.

    Been looking for some good workout/running buds for a month now trying to replace my Galaxy buds Pro. Only real option out there for me was the jaybirds vista 2s because of the wing and the physical button (can’t stand touch controls) but hesitated based on connection issues I read that it has on the reviews. Was about to just settle for them but now these suddenly come out with a wing and a physical button so these beats are PERFECT for me. Instant buy when they come out 👌

    Of course they announce these right after I buy a new pair of AirPods Pro…I want these instead!

    I want these but I love my Powerbeats pro so much

    Finally some wing tips and proper apple intergration. The apple version galaxy buds pro replacement i have always wanted. I have the studio buds but i wish they had optional wingtips. Then bud wingtip design of the galaxy buds was always something i loved

  14. shadowtube111

    November 1, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    3:06 the fact there’s more than 195K unread emails, kind of makes me uneasy😟

  15. Dv P

    November 1, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    If you can’t make calls with them because the call quality is awful, forget it.

    Nice ,I picked studio buds,and will pick these up due to your review,appreciate it.

    … apple bought beats years ago… how are they competing between one and another?

  18. Dana Ochmanski

    November 2, 2021 at 12:12 am

    Link for the Sennheiser ear tips that you use?

  19. Juve Zavala

    November 2, 2021 at 12:23 am

    USB C is nice but no ear hook is a deal breaker every time for actual sports use.

  20. Bugsy Montana

    November 2, 2021 at 12:35 am

    These or the Soundcore Liberty Pro 3’s?

    Great review!

  22. Stringer Bell

    How well do they secure in the ear for vigorous working out and training?

  23. Ryan B

    November 2, 2021 at 1:05 am

    Put black tap over the Beats logo if you don’t want people to see it.

  24. Mike Philpot

    November 2, 2021 at 1:12 am

    How do these stack up against the Jabra 75t actives?

  25. HULK Orozco

    November 2, 2021 at 1:22 am

    So Beats Studio Buds with wingtips and H1 chip? Meh we’ll see. Beats Studio Buds were not all that… Returned them

    November 2, 2021 at 2:24 pm

    The no wireless charging kills it for me, I have AirPods Pro and recently got a Belkin Boost 3-In-1 charger that has a Qi pad for AirPods so I don’t see myself buying these

  27. Mad Mohawk Films

    November 2, 2021 at 2:47 pm

    Apple owns Beats, its UNLIKELY they would undercut THEMSELVES. These probably are good earbuds but doubtful BETTER than Airpod Pro’s probably more in line with standard Airpods in quality.

  28. Only The truth

    November 2, 2021 at 2:52 pm

    Is Beat still owned by Dr Dre?

  29. Shaniqua Lamar

    Why is the case still bulky?🙁

    It’s funny that they call these videos reviews when really all they are is ads. It just tells us it’s features and what they’re good for

  31. Jermaine W

    November 2, 2021 at 5:00 pm

    Goodnight AirPods Pro, lol like Apple don’t own Beats.

  32. Issie wizzie

    The information in the video is not completely correct it supports special audio and also has the H1 one chip

    So we’re casually moving past the fact that he has 195 033 unread emails? Ait

    Give it up CNET. There’s no way these will “BEAT” the AirPod Pros.

    Beats use weird silicone in their earbuds that causes an allergic reaction in and behind my ears. Buyer beware!

    Is there an app to control beats headphones specifically powerbeats pro?

    Great review. Seems like Apple is positioning beats against their own product and winning. Not sure what they are trying to do here.

  46. Brokencornflakes
