Beats Fit Pro Headphones Are Now $70 Off.
The Beats Fit Pro (1st generation) aren’t the newest sports headphones on the market, and they don’t reinvent the wheel. However, they’re a tried-and-true model with active noise cancellation and a comfortable fit, making them a sportier version of the AirPods Pro for gym-goers and runners, with a slight advantage in battery life. The white pair is currently 35% off and at an all-time low of $129.99 (original price: $199.95).
These Beats wireless headphones feature powerful noise cancellation and Apple’s proprietary H1 chip, making them similar to the AirPods Pro, with Apple features like spatial sound with head tracking, adaptive EQ, hands-free Siri, and one-tap pairing with iOS. Battery life with active noise cancellation enabled is up to 6 hours (compared to 4.5 hours for the AirPods Pro with active noise cancellation enabled), and the charging case provides an additional 21-23 hours of battery life.
Like most Beats headphones, they feature physical touch buttons, a plus for those who dislike touch controls. According to CNET , the earbuds fit “comfortably and securely” despite their generic winged-ear design. They use 9.5mm drivers, which deliver slightly more powerful and rich bass than the AirPods Pro. The active noise cancellation is reliable and blocks low-frequency sounds well in crowded spaces, but PCMag notes that it may not be as effective against high-frequency sounds as slightly more expensive models like the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds .
While they outperform the AirPods in several categories, their six microphones perform slightly worse, providing less clarity and less effective background noise cancellation. However, CNET still ranks them above the AirPods Pro for overall performance and fitness. If you’re an Apple user looking for comfortable, everyday headphones that you can use everywhere from commuting to working out, the Beats Fit Pro (1st generation) are a good choice, especially considering their lowest price ever.
