Even if three of the four options are rather subdued, the more colours the better I say, especially given Apple’s predilection for glossy white earphones. A slight issue with the placement of the touch controls is that by adjusting the earbuds you can unwittingly hit the buttons.įurther differentiation between Beats and Apple come in the choice of colours available – four to be exact in white, black, sage grey and stone purple (this review sample). You can play tracks, as well as skip forward and back with one, two and three presses respectively. There’s a nice tactile feel to the responsive presses and the button layout is easy to recall.Ī hold on the ‘b’ button cycles between noise cancelling and transparency modes (you can switch to off but that’s only possible in the app), or you can adjust the controls in the app to map volume control to it. The Beats Fit Pro use physical buttons, a method I feel is a better means of interaction for an earphone designed with active users in mind. Three ear-tips are packaged (S, M, L) to find that most impregnable of seals. I’ve taken the Fit Pro on runs and had no issues comfort-wise or felt the need to readjust – they are very runner and gym-friendly in that sense, and with an IPX4 rating they able to resist sweaty digits and rainy days. Once it’s found, the seal is reliably good and comfort levels are super. Having it provides the confidence you’ve found the right fit and seal. What’s helpful is the inclusion of an in-app Ear Tip Fit Test that checks for any sound leakage. The design works a treat once the earbud is positioned just right, though, like the Studio Buds, the Fit Pro can still be a little bit fussy. They maintain the Buds’ look – an appearance not unlike a tiny, sculpted boot – but the most obvious change is the Fit Pro has a flexible wing tip that tucks into the upper ear. Like the Studio Buds, the Fit Pro see Beats forge its own visual identity from Apple’s true wireless series. With their wing-tip design, they mean to stay locked in for whatever activity you do.
