Beats Fit Pro Launching Globally With Pre-Orders Starting January 24

[MacRumors]

Apple's Beats Fit Pro fitness-focused wireless earbuds are set to launch internationally later this month, with pre-orders to start on Monday, January 24. The earbuds will be released globally on January 28, according to a tweet from Beats.

Beats Fit Pro are Apple's newest Beats earbuds, featuring flexible wingtips to keep them in the ear, a charging case, silicone tips, Active Noise Cancellation, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, and an H1 chip for "Hey Siri" support.

The $200 earbuds launched in the United States in November and in China in December of last year, and at the time Apple said an international release would follow sometime in early 2022.

Beats Fit Pro come in four colors: Stone Purple, Sage Gray, White, and Black. For a better idea of what Beats Fit Pro can do, check out our in-depth hands-on review.

Great, I’ve been waiting for these! I’m going to sell my AirPods Pro and grab these beats. Ime having trouble with the AirPods staying in because the stems press up against my helmet straps. Even my toque kind of displaces them, so they always feel like they’re on the verge of falling out.

I'm not wasting my money on that junk.

 

[TwoBytes]

You're not fooling me Beats... i'm on hold for the Airpod Pro 2's later this year..

You are permitted to buy both. In fact, i'd highly recommend doing precisely this.

At C$70 cheaper than the Air Pods Pro, I'm willing to try.
Disappointed with my APP as one started to vibrate 6 months after warranty expired. Not buying a replacement.

 

[Bull 07]

Excellent acquisition by Apple that's why Apple Music exists.

 

[Canyda]

I have the Beats Studio Buds and really like them... so I may pass on these. I also have a set of Jabra 65Ts that I use for work. Don't really think I need a third pair of wireless earbuds.

 

[Mr. Heckles]

I have these and they are good. They stay in my ears way better then the iPod Pros.

 

[Marzzz]

Bought a pair to replace my Powerbeats Pro- much more comfortable, sound great, first experience with noise cancellation so now I’m hooked. Very happy with them.

 

[apparatchik]

They also started listing them in Mexico, so I’d guess a similar release date as the rest.

 

[ice29]

If the price is right (lower than the price of APP, ~200eur right now here), instant buy for sport activities for me (I have APP but sometimes they like to slide out during running, exercising etc.)

 

[SD449]

Is the case still as huge as the Powerbeats Pro, that thing was massive!

 

[GenesisST]

I tried APP, but they kept falling off (with all three tips). Maybe I don't have enough earwax.

I ended up buying cheap non-sweat proof noise cancelling headphones. It was for the treadmill in the garage, where sound quality is not that important anyways.

I might try the next version of APP then these, if they still fall off.

Look similar to the Pixel Buds A that came with my Pixel 6. Not really sold on that form factor, though these look like they have different way of locking into your ear. Really would like to try, but don't like the idea of sampling earbuds and returning them.

Luckily the case is about half of the volume of the Powerbeats Pro case. But the lid is very flimsy, I’m constantly worried about breaking it just by looking at it.

 

[canyonblue737]

I bought these at launch to replace an aging and malfuncting set of Powerbeats Pro. I have also had the AirPods, Airpods Pro, and Studio Buds for reference.

These are the equal of the AirPods Pro for me and have by far the best stability during workouts, running etc. compared to anything other than the Powerbeats Pro (which will stay on when you get hit by a car but are BIG). they absolutely stay in your ear and have all the AirPods Pro features so this is a superior choice in my opinion. They also look better without the stem.

I'm sure AirPods Pro 2 will be awesome but I doubt Apple gears them specifically to workouts so if you don't have the proper ear fit (my Airpods Pro fall out if I workout with them) I'm sure you will still be out of luck, these solve the problem... at least until the Beats Fit Pro 2 arrives in 2023-24 with all the features of the AirPods Pro 2.

This beats is for sport. I don’t think AirPods Pro 2 will be able to withstand active outdoor workouts? It will fall out in the moment of sweaty outdoor runs or cycling.

Airpods design is always about convenience, casual use case even with all those waterproofing.

 

[wilberforce]

These Beats Fit Pros are excellent sound quality and comfort. I found them better than the various AirPod options, easier to use, and have the same Apple ecosystem integration and functionality. Great for active workouts - you can likely do somersaults with these things - provided the wingtips fit your ears properly.

 

[svish]

Good. The colours are also nice. I like the purple one.

 

[TraceyS/FL]

I have a pair - love them. The Air Pods and Air Pod Pro hurt my ears and don't stay in - the kids got to keep them. I have small ear canals and ears (compared at least to my kids), I've tried a variety of different brands at this point. The Bose Sport with the cord wasn't bad, but I love noise cancelling so the Beats win.

Now, I set them down somewhere last week and can't find them - and they aren't showing in Find My. Blast it, I need a leash for these small things in my old age ??

Same issue here. Unless I use aftermarket silicone ear wings (which of course do not fit in the charging case) they won't stay in my ears if I'm active. I wonder if these sound on par w/ Airpod Pro?

 

[SSDGUY]

How do they sound compared to the Pros?

 

[Minato1990]

time to trade in my powerbeats pro for these ones!

 

[wilberforce]

Good. The colours are also nice. I like the purple one.

I got the gray ones, but they are very easy to lose if they fall on the ground. Ask me how I know. Wish I had got the purple.
