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.

Apple did an extended warranty for the APP for that issue. You might check to make sure of your eligibility. I got mine replaced not too long ago because of the static/vibrations. Replacements have been great.

Also just purchased these Fit Pros and they should arrive today. The APPs do fall out of my ears if I do any kind of exercise. So the APPs will be for normal day-to-day work/life, and the Fit Pros will be for exercising and more active scenarios.
 
Great, and I just picked up airpod pro's to replace my horrible Powerbeats pro. Powerbeats over 300CAD and the damn things can't keep connected for more than 15mins. SUPER frustrated with them. But i would have picked these ones up vs airpod pro's. oh well

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?

From the reviews, it appears that they sound comparable, but they tune more heavily to the bass. It probably depends on the kind of music you listen to.

oh man ... I'm not sure about that design. I have a pair of Powerbeats Pros whose battery life is seriously at its end. It's perfect for workouts, since the ear loop holds the speaker in even on violent actions, like an overpowered golf swing. Seeing this design ... yikes. I have no idea how those will wear overtime. Last thing I need is my ball going 200 yards out, and my ear bud 10.

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 ??

I lost mines as well.
 
I've been using these for a month - awful case (cheap plastic and hard to open), stay well in ear, noise cancelation is OK if fit well, might require some time for users to fully adapt.
 
These look pretty interesting. Like my APP for everything except the fit. Cycled through all three tips sizes multiple times over the year or two I've had them, and they don't stay in my ears at all. Forget exercise, I need to keep reseating them just during a long conversation. Size, performance and all are nice otherwise, but I'm constantly worrying about them falling out. Only thing I don't see with these new Beats that surprises me is still no wireless charging case. It's very convenient to drop the APP down on the charging mat, and you'd think a higher end product like this would include that by now.

They sound BETTER than the AirPods Pro for music.
The Active Noise Cancelation is 95% as good (I suspect it is the exact same tech in the processor, but the stem microphones on the AirPod Pro are just a hair better, perhaps because they are further out) and I use them weekly on airplanes.
The Transparency is 90% as good, you can hear outside sounds just like AirPods Pro but your own voice is a bit more muffled.
I haven't used them for many calls, I suspect the AirPods Pro make you sound better, again because of the stem mics.

Bottom line if you use headphones for working out, music listening, active noise cancelation and transparency but maybe not as much for Zoom calls etc. these are better than the AirPods Pro.

They fit better than my AirPods Pro did, just wish the fit and finish of the case was better...
 
My Fit Pros arrived yesterday. Initial sound impression is that they sound great. It's possible that the bass is slightly enhanced over the APPs, but it doesn't take away from the rest of the spectrum, and I listen to a lot of bass heavy electronic stuff while working and exercising, so it's fine for me. They definitely stay in my ears better than the APPs because of the wings. They didn't budge when running, shaking my head around, or any other kind of movements. The final test will be how my ears feel after having them in for extended periods.

So my first thoughts are very positive and I recommend them.
 
So these showed up on Amazon Canada today for pre-order for only $226.44 CDN, which is cheaper than the $249.95 price tag on Apple Canada.
