Apple Updates Beats Fit Pro Firmware to Version 4B65

[Stallion72]

Two days now and I am still on 4B58

I’m on the same boat. No update yet either. But that might be a good thing for now. I keep on reading that the new firmware is bricking their BFP.

The one product I don’t think are worth the price. Hoping the second rev will be better

I've got AirPod Pros as well and I think I like the Beats Fit Pros better- and they are cheaper. The sound and the fit (for active use) are better for me, they last longer on a charge, and except for the extended Find My features the feature set is the same. The main drawback is the case- while it holds more charge, it's bulkier, clunkier, and doesn't support wireless charging.

Just revisiting the topic; eventually went to 4B65 without any problems. Still loving the BFPs.

If I were to get a new pair of earphones my first choice would be the Powebeats Pro, the Beats Fit Pro or the Beats Studio Buds, their industrial design is far superior to any the unappealing white AirPods, but the way that Apple treats the Beats brand as second class is just disappointing. I'm enrolled on Apple's hearing study and the only valid hearing devices accepted are any AirPods or the wired EarPods, not a single Beats earphone or headphone can be used.

Nevertheless, the Beats Fit Pro are more comfortable for me than the Airpods Pro's and the sound is fuller. When I first got them, I put them in my ears and couldn't stop listening to music. I can't say the same for the uncomfortable, always coming out of my ears Airpods Pro, even with memory foam tips, plus it's a pain to keep putting the inner ear thing every time you take them out of their charger.

The update doesn’t add the enhanced Find My network support.

Really wish I liked them better. The case is too big and feels extremely flimsy and cheap; the buds themselves are uncomfortable for me (ymmv, of course); and there is really no way to adjust them at all without accidentally triggering the giant button. The lack of wireless charging would be forgivable if the overall experience were better, but sadly, for me, it's not. Switched back to my slowly dying Airpods Pro after messing with the Beats for about a week.

You can adjust them just fine by grabbing them from their side instead of pushing the Big button on top.

My Find My shows the Beats Fit Pro

But it doesn't yet show the enhanced Find My Network features the AirPods Pro show. For example, you can't mark it lost and have other people with iPhones (part of the Find My network) help locate the earbuds, nor can you do the precision finding. With Beats Fit Pro your iPhone has to be within bluetooth range in order to locate it. Below are the options for Beats Fit Pro vs AirPods Pro.
