It’s an Apple product so can it be discussed here?

Anyway, from reviews, sounds like a better fitting/sounding/battery life that APP with a slightly bigger case and slightly worse at calls because lack of stem for technically cheaper but really same price.


Right?

Really like the look of these, compared to the PBP - shame no physical volume button and the battery life is slightly reduced, but you do get ANC, head tracking, a lot smaller case and USB C. If my PBP died now, I'd go for the BFP... if they were available in my country!

I am waiting to see what the next gen of APP are like tho.

Excited to try mine. They will replace my Beats Studio Buds as my out and about earbuds. APP never worked for me. I like using AirPods 3 mainly at home due to sound leakage (not great for commuting or waiting rooms).

Here is what I want to know. Can you hear your steps with these like the APP? I know when you clog the ears this is going to happen but is it same/better/worse than with APP?

With my BeatsX and Solo Pros dead and my wired headphones not suitable for working out and other stuff, I'm stuck deciding should I get the APP or Beats Fit Pro now or wait until next year sometime for the APP2, which, if I had to guess, will be Bluetooth 5.2 capable, meaning it will have bit perfect CD quality transmission or Apple's marketing-speak version of that. Leaning toward pulling trigger now because lossless quality out and about is overrated due to ambient noise. Beats Fit Pro look more compelling minus the bulkier case.

Anyone have AirPods Pro and Beats Studio Buds but still planning on getting these?
I am planning on replacing my Studio Buds with the Fit Pro. AirPods Pro never fit me well, regardless of ear tip material/size nor did they impress with their sound profile.

If you were to buy now buy the beats fit pro all the reviews say is it’s the exact same as AirPods Pro but for less also may fit better and if you did wait there’s probably not going to be much better than minor improvements

Yeah reviews have been great and it looks like BFP are APP reincarnated into a different form factor plus a slightly warmer, low-end enhanced sound signature. Almost bought APP on Sunday. Glad I didn't.

Lucky you on not getting the APPs, I will most likely be switching to these, just considering another brands option. I'm inclined the APP2's may be of similar shape or size with less of a. 'stick'.

I’m very excited for the beat fit pros. I went back and forth for a while on purchasing the Powerbeats pros, but the size and ear hooks deterred my purchase. I tried the APPs, the sound quality was great but the ear buds kept falling out of my ears. I purchased the AP3s and I love the sound quality but the fit is not the best, but fits better than the APPs, so I will only use them at home only. I really hope the best fit pros are not “too good to be true.” Also, I believe the AP2s provide the best fit. Hopefully the beat fit pros do not disappoint, however, the early reviews look very encouraging!

I just don’t get why the discontinued regular powerbeats instead of powerbeats pro now most of the earbuds
lineup is truly wireless fitness buds may its because of price all they had to do is knock down the price of regular powerbeats permanently and discontinued powerbeats pro because they seem useless compared to fit pro

Can anyone post a pic of the comparison of the cases for different AirPods and beats products?

Found this one showing the Beats ones but it doesn’t include the AirPods Pro and AirPods 3. Saw it a few days ago and now I can’t find it.

I took a screenshot from Flossy Carter’s review. Just missing the AirPods 3.
