Whether you’re listening to Bad Bunny, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Olivia Rodrigo, or Frank Sinatra, the sound remains balanced across the low, mid, and high notes vocals are clear, guitar strums are sharp, and beat drops are hard and head-rocking when they need to be. The Fit Pro get loud and bumpy without being obnoxious. I feel like I say this every time I review Beats earbuds, but it’s worth repeating because there’s still a stigma: This isn’t the Beats company of old, where the products go overboard with the bass. Okay, so, how do the Fit Pro sound and fit? Beats says its custom 9.5mm transducer drivers are tuned to combine dynamic range with clarity “across the frequency curve for an emotive, powerful and balanced listening experience.” Out in the real world, that translates to amazing acoustics that don’t get distorted even when active noise cancellation is on. The Fit Pro buds come in “Sage Gray,” “Stone Purple,” white, and black. Beats’ earbuds come in a range of colors and have fitness-focused attributes. I have one thing to say about that: colors. With basically the same features, you might be wondering whether the Fit Pro are redundant to the AirPods Pro. At $200, the Beats Fit Pro fill a price gap in Apple and Beats’ wireless earbuds lineup. If all these features sound like AirPods 3 or AirPods Pro, more or less, it’s because it is.
