- Alright.
So, today we're gonna be talking about the Beats Fit Pro
versus the Beats Studio Buds
versus the Apple AirPods Pro.
Now, before you start asking me,
man, why is he not comparing these to the AirPods 3, right?
They're the latest ones.
The answer is actually quite simple.
The AirPods 3 are a semi-open design,
and they also don't offer active noise cancellation.
So, they're a product designed for a different type of user
who prefers not having silicone tips
going inside their ears.
Not really a good fit for this comparison,
but if you have questions about the AirPods 3 anyway,
please ask them in the comment section down below,
and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
So, let's get right into the comparison.
So, first up,
let's talk about comfort.
Now, I'm gonna rank them like this.
Number one, the Apple AirPods Pro.
Number two, the Beats Fit Pro.
And, number three, the Beat Studio Buds.
Now, when it comes to the Beats Studio Buds,
or, sorry,
let's do it like this,
my mistake there.
So, here's the Beat Studio Buds,
wanted to show them to you really quick,
but for overall comfort,
it's gonna be the AirPods Pro for me.
Now, the AirPods Pro, they're a lot smaller as you can see,
and they fit in your ear very, very differently.
So, they have a much lighter feel inside your ear,
and the built-in pressure relief system
is something that more earbuds should be implementing.
This is not saying that the other two aren't comfortable,
but the AirPods Pro definitely take the win
between these three options.
Bam, just like that.
Now, secondly, let's talk about grip.
Now, this is something that I normally don't talk about,
but we want to...
I wanted to go ahead and bring this up here.
And, when I say grip,
I literally mean how well they stay put inside of your ears.
Now, number one,
I'm gonna give that to the Beats Fit Pro.
Second place, I'm gonna give that to the Beats Studio Buds.
And, third, I'm gonna give that to the Apple AirPods Pro.
Now, this is especially important
for people who want to set of earbuds for workouts
or for jogging.
The wingtips on the Beats Fit Pro work wonders
for keeping them firmly in place,
while simultaneously maintaining a good level of comfort.
I'm not seeing the...
I'm not saying that the other two won't stay fit,
but user experience will vary.
The Beats Fit Pro are literally designed for this task
and, as such, they do a much better job.
So, those little wingtips right there, you see that?
(tongue clicking)
Yup.
You'd be surprised at how well they'll lock in to your ears.
So, not bad, overall.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
We're moving into the next one here.
So, next up, let's talk about some like pure performance,
right?
So, ambient mode or the transparency mode.
So, basically,
that's where you can activate the mics
and hear what's going on around you.
So, I'm gonna rank 'em like this for the ambient mode.
In first place,
we've got the Apple AirPods Pro.
In second place, we've got the Beats Fit Pro.
And, in third,
the Beats Studio Buds.
Now, the Beats Fit, oh, sorry.
As...
As good as the ambient mode is now improved.
And, on the Beats Fit Pro here,
the AirPods Pro still take the win.
The AirPods Pro still sound much more natural,
especially when holding conversations
with like other people in your house
or when you're out and about.
They definitely take the cake when it comes to that.
However,
the Beats Fit Pro are a huge improvement
over the Beats Studio Buds, in my opinion,
and come in very close second place
to the AirPods Pro.
So, we got to give credit where credit is due,
especially when we see major improvements like this
in the microphone technology used on the Beats Fit Pro.
So, now let's move over to the active noise cancellation.
So, with active noise cancellation,
I'm gonna rank 'em like this.
For me, in first place,
we're gonna have the Beats Fit Pro.
Second place, the Apple AirPods Pro.
And, in third place,
we've got the Beats Studio Buds.
Now, to be fair...
How do I put it?
So, the Beats Fit Pro definitely have an edge
over the AirPods Pro and the Studio Buds
when it comes to active noise cancellation.
And, to ensure fairness,
I actually use the same spin Fit tips
on all three of these earbuds.
The Beats Fit Pro did a better job
with simulated crowd noise
and simulated airplane cabin noise
versus the other two options.
I honestly expected the AirPods Pro to take the win here,
but you know what, here we are.
So, I'm not sure if it has a bit to do
with some additional passive noise isolation
with the way that the Beats Fit Pro sit inside your ear,
but it is a slight,
but noticeable difference in the noise cancellation ability
of the Beats Fit Pro.
So, now let's move over to the volume of these earbuds.
So, I'm gonna rank 'em like this.
Number one, Beats Fit Pro.
Number two, AirPods Pro.
Number three, the Beats Studio Buds.
Now, just to be really clear here,
there isn't much of a difference in the volume
between the three of these options,
while the Beats Fit Pro feel like they are slightly louder
than the other two,
the difference isn't night and day.
I mean, for me,
all three of them already get loud enough,
comfortable listening for me comes in around 60 to 75%,
with any of these earbuds.
But, overall,
I still gotta give the win here to the Beats Fit Pro.
So, now, let's move over to the sound quality.
Now, I'm gonna rank the sound quality like this.
Number one, Beats Fit Pro.
Number two, Beats Studio Buds.
Number three, Apple AirPods Pro.
Now, much like anything else,
when it comes to something like sound quality,
it's all gonna come down to your own personal taste.
Both of these Beats options have, essentially,
the same type of sound signature to my ears,
where the AirPods Pro have a different type of sound.
AirPods Pro are more balanced
and have a seemingly wider soundstage.
The Beats Fit Pro offer you a much more dynamic
and much more punchy sound
with boosted sub-base, neutral mids,
and some pretty decent treble.
I, personally, prefer the sound of the Beats
over the AirPods Pro,
but this is my own personal preference.
I want to feel the bass in my music,
while still having that vocal clarity in the mix.
Right?
I mean, that's just me.
Maybe, you guys might agree.
I don't know.
If you do agree with that,
let me know down in the comment section,
because you never know.
You might actually be a member of the Basshead Crew,
if that's the case, right?
So, now, let's do this.
Last, but not least,
let's get into some microphone samples,
so you can hear what all three of these sound like
back to back,
so you can see which one is gonna work best for you.
Alright, so here we have the microphone quality test
for the Beats Fit Pro.
So, testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.
Obviously, I'm in indoor, semi quiet environment.
So, this is what you can expect
if you're just in a quiet room from the Beats Fit Pro.
Alright, so here we have the microphone quality test
for the Beats Studio Buds.
So, testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.
Obviously, I'm indoors, once again,
in a semi quiet room.
So, this is what you can expect from the Beats Studio Buds
in this type of an environment.
- Alright, so here have the microphone quality test

Obviously, I'm indoors in a semi quiet room.
So, this is what you can expect from the Apple AirPods Pro
in this type of an environment.
And, here we have the Beats Fit Pro
in a simulated crowd noise environment,
almost like a crowded cafe,
or maybe a busy restaurant,
something along those lines.
So, testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.
Alright.
And, here we have the Beats Studio Buds,
in a simulated crowd noise environment,
so almost like a crowded bar,
or a movie,
or really busy restaurant.
Something along those lines.
So, testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.
And, here we have the Apple AirPods Pro
in a simulated crowd noise environment.
So, something like a crowded restaurant,
a busy bar,
something along those lines.
So, testing, testing 1, 2, 3.
As always,
you're gonna have to be the judge of the call quality
down in the comment section.
Alright.
So, now that you've heard those microphone samples,
here's my final verdict for this three-way comparison.
Much like sound quality,
it all comes down to your own personal preference.
And, by that, I mean,
which way do you like to have your music presented to you?
For me,
I personally prefer the way the Beats Fit Pro
present my music.
As many of you might already know,
I like listening to hip hop, R&B, rock,
and some old school reggae.
For that type of listening,
the Beats Fit Pro are absolutely perfect.
When we take into consideration the solid performance,
and active noise cancellation,
call quality,
and a far superior fit to that of the power Beats Pro,
the Beats Fit Pro are an excellent choice.
For me, personally,
these outperformed the AirPods Pro in several key ways.
So, it should come as no surprise that in my opinion,
these new Beats are on top.
So, it should come as no surprise that these new Beats
are the top option for true wireless earbuds from Apple.
