Amazon Shaves $20 Off Its Price on the Top-Rated Beats Fit Pro – CNET [CNET]
Beats was acquired by Apple back in 2014, which is handy, because the brands’ earbuds and headphones now feature much of the same tech. The Beats Fit Pro are equipped with the same H1 chip as the AirPods Pro, and include many of the same features, including active noise cancellation, spatial audio and adaptive EQ. CNET’s David Carnoy even found them to have slightly better sound quality than the comparable AirPods Pro, and called them the “sportier AirPods I’ve always wanted” in his review. You can also switch off noise canceling in favor of a transparency mode, for when you need to be more aware of your surroundings.
The Fit Pros have an IPX4 water-resistance rating, so you don’t have to worry too much about sweat or rain if you’re using them on your run. On a single charge, they boast up to six hours of listening time, 24 total when you account for the charging case. And the flexible wingtip design is less bulky than the stemmed AirPods Pro.
