The Beats Fit Pro is close to workout headphone perfection, and they can be used for all types of training. The first big takeaway is in the Fit Pro’s in-ear wingtip design. The wingtip is less intrusive than the big ear-hook on the Powerbeats Pro, but still just as secure and comfortable. Our Fitness Director, Ebenezer Samuel, reviewed the Fit Pros when they first released, and he noted how the headphones fell out of his ears just a single time during a week of intense training. “In one week of using them, a bud fell out exactly one time, after I’d done a series of deadlifts and gone right to a series of pull-ups, a vicious sequence that had me changing levels several times,” says Samuel. “Aside from that, the Fit Pros have survived everything, from Tabata intervals on the Ski Erg to all those deadlifts.”
Second takeaway: the sound of the Fit Pros is as about as advanced you will find in a pair of workout earbuds. They have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and a Transparency Mode, as well as spatial audio support that provides immersive listening experiences for music and podcasts.
And third, features like one-touch controls for play/pause, fast pairing for iPhone and Android, and an IPX4 sweat and water resistant rating are included the Fit Pros. When you add in the solid 6 hour battery life and slim carry case—which holds up to 24 hours of charging power—the Fit Pros begin to emerge as a workout headphone that hits all its marks.
The Fit Pros clock in at $200, but they do go on sale from time-to-time. They also come in a bunch of fun colors outside of black, so if you’re looking add some style points to your tech there’s opportunity to do so. Truly this is a workout headphone that’s going to accommodate all types of training. Start here in your search before looking elsewhere.
