Just upgraded from gen 1 AirPods to gen 3 AirPods and I also have Powerbeats pro for when I’m more active.
Just wondering if I should get the beats fit pro and keep them with my AirPods 3?
Is there anyone that has more than one set of headphones they use regulary.
When I got the PBP they were great and still are but I found now that I wear glasses the over ear hook thing isn’t as comfortable
I just got the Beats Fit Pros today, and they are
really comfortable! I just took them off after wearing them for around 5 hours, and there was no resultant discomfort.
With any of my other earbuds, my ears feel like they need to ‘rest’ after a long listening/wearing session.
Secondly, these new Beats sound very good. I have never been a fan of
any of Apples earphone offerings. AirPod—sound like listening to AM radio (for those of you who don’t know what that sounds like…it is LO-FI ?, and not in a good way). AirPods Pro—sound far better than the original AirPods, but still kind of muddied and muffled…not great for $250, and have only 4.5 hours battery life
at most. And that’s before they degrade down to 3 hours One year later. Maybe I’m exaggerating, slightly. ?
Anyhow, I use several other headphones/earphones daily: Bang & Olufsen e8 earbuds (3rd generation, wireless), and Bang & Olufsen H9 Over-Ear Wireless (2nd Gen). I love the sound quality of both of these models, and the battery life, as well. Only the H9’s have ANC, though. And they’re only for wearing at home (at least for me).
EDIT: These BFPs have FIVE hours battery life. I’ve timed them now during a few wearings at a 50% sound level.
These new Beats Fit Pros sound almost as good as my very mobile e8’s—but these have ANC! And battery life is comparable at
FIVE hours. I do wear my e8’s during exercise, and they’re great, and stay in position without needing constant adjustment.
Tomorrow will be my first test of these Beats at the gym, I’ll see how they do after an hour on the elliptical and then weights! Given how light they are, the fit, and the fins, I do expect that these are keeper! ?
