Today there is a deal form Amazon on what has become my all-time favorite earbuds – the Beats Fit Pro. This deal is not off the earbuds themselves but is with the inclusion of an Amazon gift card.

I have been meaning to do a review on these Beats Fit Pro earbuds for the longest time but still have not gotten to it so I will just highlight here why I love these earbuds.
I have tried over a dozen different earbuds to test for the best fit for running as well as being really great lifestyle earbuds. Having noise cancellation is certainly a plus but not necessary for me since I normally use headphones for that when traveling.
I actually ditched my Apple AirPods Pro for these earbuds because I could not run with the AirPods without them falling out of my ear. I like earbuds that provide multiple points of contact and the Beats Fit Pro kind of “pop” into the ear for an awesome fit. Not only does that keep them from falling out but it helps with the noise cancellation as well.
In case you did not know, Beats is owned by Apple which means these have the same special sauce in them that AirPods do – namely, the H1 chip. This enables easy device switching between Apple devices as well as Apple’s spatial audio for a more immersive sound experience when wearing both earbuds.
I have never had these fall out of my ears and they still feel very comfortable as well. The noise cancellation is decent but will not beat out headphones. They work for office work as well as travel.
The battery life is very good on these (up to 6 hours with noise cancelling on). I have worn them for 50k runs and they did not run out of battery life. Also, the case gives them a recharge as well (a simple 5 minute charge gives you another 1 hour of use) and, thank you very much – the case is chargeable with USB C connector! I seriously hate the lightning connector of Apple’s iPhones and their AirPods since everything else I own can be charged/powered with USB C.
But, that case is the biggest complaint I have. I understand it is a balance to provide something that can significantly charge the earbuds while also staying somewhat small but it is not nearly as compact as the AirPods Pro case. That being said, it still fits in my pockets fine but just a bit more of a bulge. Another negative with the case is that the lid seems quite flimsy for a product like this. It honestly feels like cheap plastic but I have not had it break on me and I use these earbuds every single day, multiple times a day, since they came out.
What About the Deal?
I have not really seen deals on these since they came out and the price is not a cheap one – $199. But, as Amazon’s deal of the day, you can get them with a $25 Amazon gift card for the same $199. That is a nice little way to soften the blow and it works on all 4 colors of the Beats Fit Pro.
Hi Charlie, Have you tried the Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds and what is your opinion? I read some reviews on the Beats Fit Pro and in general the reviews are good. Some reviewers complain of discomfort from the way it secures to the ear, so it really is depends on the anatomy of each individual.
Hi, BOND – Yes, I have used them before! I think for anyone that may have fit issues with in-ear earbuds, they are fantastic. I switched away from them for two reasons – I run with sunglasses about 80% of the year and they do not fit really well with sunglasses since they go around the ear. The other reason is that the main road I run on has a lot of traffic and it is loud. They did not provide the same volume with things like audiobooks that in-ear earbuds did.
The fit of earbuds is definitely very personal! this is one of the reasons I have tried out so many, trying to find the ones that worked best for me. AirPods did not, Jabra did not, Google Pixel Buds didn’t, and Samsung earbuds didn’t. Big fan of Jaybird Vista Run wireless and the Beats Fit Pro.
