Don’t Miss the New Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds

Apple generated a lot of excitement with its latest 3G Airpods. Still, Beats might have introduced a worthwhile competitor to the market with the Beats Fit Pro. However, Apple owns Beats as a subsidiary company, so Apple fanatics don’t need to feel like traitors for considering this option. Also, Beats devices use the same technology as previous Apple products, though they may not keep up with the latest releases.

According to CNET, Beats built the Fit Pro on the same platform that Apple used for their true wireless earbuds in 2019, and they even include an H1 chip. They also offer many features familiar to people who use AirPods, like spatial audio, active noise cancelation, and Adaptive EQ.

While these earbuds are not AirPods, some people may prefer them. This is because they revamped the design of older Beats models. For example, the company made them smaller and replaced the hook with a wingtip that helps provide additional assurance that they wouldn’t fall out. Some wearers appreciate the extra security, but others find this design uncomfortable after wearing the earbuds for a while.

At the same time, Beats kept the physical button, which some earbud users prefer. The button can end calls, switch modes, and control music. These earbuds also come with Siri, so users can control them with voice commands if they prefer.

Beats Fit Pro earbuds weigh 5.6 grams each, so they’re smaller and lighter than previous models from the company but still larger than the latest AirPods. In addition, Beats Fit Pro has an IPX4 rating, making them resistant to splashes, sweat, or sprinkles but not genuinely waterproof. Unfortunately, these earbuds don’t come rated for dust resistance.

On the plus side, expect the batteries to last a bit longer than the latest AirPods. They also charge relatively quickly. For instance, about five minutes in the charging case can provide an additional hour of performance. The Beats Fit Pro box also includes a choice of three different tips, and users should experiment with these to find the best fit.

Beats Fit Pro retails for about $200. According to TechRadar, they deliver a lot of the experience of Apple AirPods Pro for a somewhat lower price.

Beats offer a lot of the same processing power and features that make AirPods so popular. But, at the same time, they’re not quite as durable against environmental conditions. Also, today’s earbuds’ small size and portability make them vulnerable to getting dropped, contaminated with dust or sand, immersed in water, and damaged by other accidents or environmental conditions.

An Upsie Beats Fit Pro extended warranty will offer extra protection for your headphones. Upsie’s prices are affordable and cost up to 70 percent less than retailers’ and manufacturers’ protection plans. They also maintain robust coverage and responsive customer claims service.

Upsie gives customers a choice between certified local or mail-in repairs, and this coverage even includes Apple’s Genius Bar. Unlike AppleCare+, Upsie doesn’t limit the number of accident claims, meaning that customers can make unlimited claims up to the purchase price of the device.

Of course, Upsie also offers extended warranties for Apple AirPods and many other brands of earbuds. Customers can purchase an Upsie warranty for headphones and earbuds bought within the last 60 days.
