Yup, they told me 2 months today.
I agree with some of this.
First, my beats fit pro are noticeably louder than APP. and wireless charging isn’t a sellling feature for me. That said I will agree that ANC is not as good as APP. with no music on, I hear more background noise with BFP than APP. I also, May agree with transparency mode.
That said the sound they put out when music is playing is so much better for me that APP.
I haven’t used them for phone calls yet
I have done a couple of APP and BFP ANC comparisons (in a restaurant and at home with a loud fan) and I think ANC is about the same. I compared with no music and music. If there is a difference it is very minor.
APP start falling out of my ears eventually so even if ANC was slightly better it does not matter to me.
I think the sound is a better with BFP and they stay in my ears.
I have used BFPs on many phone calls. Everyone says they sound excellent on the other end.
The BFP case is definitely not as good as the APP case but BFP is better or the same for everything else important to me vs APP.

Used my Beats fit pro for about 10 minutes before I decided they could replace my Powerbeats pros. These things are awesome!
See I used the spinfit tips cause they are super soft silicon. I think my ears are sensitive to pressure
Edit: Adjusting battery life to 5 hours. This is after two days of wearing them and actually starting my timer/counter to exactly measure the time vs battery life used. 100% to 15% nets about 5 hours use time, with ANC on, and volume at 50%. My Apple Noise/Sound level indicator tells me this is around 65-69 decibels.

Well, this post may be too late, but I purchased the Beats Fit Pro earbuds today—and they both sound fantastic, and have excellent battery life! Far superior to the AirPods Pro!
These really do get around [EDIT: 5] hours with ANC enabled.
As to the quality of the ANC, I’d say it is quite good. I can’t directly compare it to the AirPods Pro ANC, as I have another brand of over-ear ANC headphones that I use (but not for out-and-about or exercise). Though I have read RTNGS sound evaluation of the APP, which did breakdown the noise cancellation by frequency and the strength of cancellation within specific frequencies, like low-Herz where the rumbling of trucks or airplanes fall. According to their (very well done) tests, the APP reduce around 20+ decibels off ambient noise/sound levels, pretty much across the board—which is far superior to most competitors, which typically do not block the lower frequency sounds well. So it remains to be seen how well these new Beats perform, and I can’t make a direct comparison.
That said, living in NOISY NYC, the Beats Fit Pro DID block out street noise beautifully from within my apartment. I couldn’t hear the traffic, barely any sirens, nor loud passing motorists! All to the good. I would love to hear how some others are finding these to be.

Oh yeah, and one of the primary reasons I bought the new Beats Fit Pros is for use at the gym! And these stay in my ears REALLY well. I’ll have to see how they perform after one hour on the elliptical…and lots of sweat. Given that my previous Bang & Olufsen e8’s (3rd edition) don’t budge from my ears (using Comply foam tips) during long exercise sessions, and those don’t have any kind of stabilizing fins, I believe these BFPs will perform well. Tomorrow will tell, as I’ll be going for a workout!
REALLY happy with my BFP! Wanted to love the AirPods Pro’s but they would just not stay in my ears. These things are perfect for me. All the features of the Pros that I wanted in a design that fits and stays in my ears.
I was able to try them on at the Apple Store today. They sound MUCH better than the Beats Buds. They fit me better than the APP. The noise cancellation was so good that I had to take them out to talk to the Specialist as I couldn't hear him even though he was right next to me.
I brought my APP in for diagnostics as their Apple Care warranty ends on the 20th. Although they had worked for me find, they failed diagnostics so Apple is replacing them for me. The only real issue I had was that 'find my' would alway say I left them behind even though they are in a pocket in the same jeans as the phone itself.
Preordered from Best Buy and should arrive on the 10th.

I wonder how long until the bottom of our cases start looking like this
This was my Powerbeats Pro after 2 years of use but they are heavier so they have higher chance of scuffing themselves

Does it matter what the bottom of the case looks like?
Are we just trying to find literally anything to complain about?
No just saying lol kind of like a patina more than a complaint
Powerbeats Pro were a bit lazy in the sense that all the cases were black, regardless of what color headphones you got.
BFP have different color cases. My advice - go with white for a cleaner look.
I used the extra tips from my spinfit cp1025 for APP’s. I’m sure these are not the ones intended for the beats fit pro of course but they work. I think if there was about 2mm more on the stem they would work for me and not hurt my ears

I picked up a pair for myself and my wife yesterday. I went with sage gray and my wife chose stone purple.
In my opinion the case on the stone purple looks the best. I love the contrast with the dark grey interior.
We’ve both been blown away by the ANC and how well they fit.
when I first used these ANC came on while the AC is running and when I turned it off I thought the earbuds were glitched by letting the noise in but no it’s just the ANC is so good that when I think about the noise isolation And hear the background sounds when anc is off but noise isolation plus music is already enough sometimes
Has anyone done some back-to-back comparison of the mic quality for calls/teams etc.? This is a very important factor for me... (well, they will not sell these in Europe soon anyway, so plenty of time to see the feedback 
)
I have found only one youtube video where the reviewer recorder his voice with both APP and Beats Fit Pro, and to be honest the APP recording was clearly better...
Though I might simply get them for sports and keep the APP (or APM, which has a much much much better mic setup than APP) for telco-calls

I just got mine in today. What I'd say is that I don't think there's a coating on the bottom of the case that would do this, but the case DOES feel a bit flimsy to me.
i feel the same but I don’t think it’s a coating it’s the matte finish getting sanded down by putting it on tables and stuff
I work in acoustics and I've been listening to these for most of the afternoon. My thoughts on sound quality:
These are a bit more full-sounding than I was expecting. The notch in the mids is there, you can definitely hear it, but it's not really bothersome on most content. There's a little less boost in the sub-bass than I was expecting, I feel the boost more in the mid-bass than down at the very bottom. As for the notchy sound, the treble has never been overly-harsh. Overall I'd classify the sound as "warm" and for some content the slightly low mids might not be for everyone, but I'm generally a mids-forward person and I have been enjoying these.
I have not listened to airpods pro or the sony so I can't really comment on the comparison there.
ANC is great. Not quite as good as my Bose 700s but excellent. I went for a walk with these in transparency mode. Wind noise seemed pretty well-controlled, which was nice. This also doesn't give me the same "brain suck" feeling as my Boses do, so that's a nice bonus.
I'm still struggling a bit with the fit, after about an hour I start noticing pressure points at the bottom of my ear. The wings don't really bother me though.
