They also have active noise cancellation (ANC), and while we had difficulty testing their noise isolation performance due to the skin sensor, they do a good job of blocking out background noise around you. However, their somewhat bulky bud shape and stability fin design will not appeal to everyone. Users have also reported hearing a buzzing sound from their left bud. It’s worth noting, however, that we didn’t have this problem. The earbuds themselves are lightweight and comfortable, with the new flexible wingtips that tuck into your ear providing a very secure fit. Whether you’re running or commuting, the Beats Fit Pro stays put without ever falling off or making you feel uncomfortable. These have a more secure fit than the sometimes-fiddly AirPods Pro. The IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance means they’ll withstand rain, a sweaty workout, or a particularly humid day. You only get three sets of ear tips (small, medium, and large) in the box, but the Ear Tip Fit Test – in the Bluetooth menu for iPhones or the Beats app for Androids – helped us find the best fit quickly. This determines whether you’re wearing the correct tip for the best seal, or if you need to size up or down. Beats is now owned by Apple, which brings with it all of the slick convenience of AirPods and the superb H1 chip that powers the buds. From instant set-up and pairing to immediate access to battery status and customizing the control buttons and Siri voice control, the Beats Fit Pro are incredibly simple to use and begin listening to right away. They work flawlessly. Instead of using touch-sensitive controls, the Beats Fit Pro relies on consistent button presses. To control music playback, press the earbuds (where the ‘b’ icon is), while a longer press switches between ANC and Transparency modes, or you can customize it to change the volume. Volume control on the earbuds is one feature that the Beats Studio Buds and AirPods Pro lack, so it’s nice to see it included here.
