After releasing the relatively affordable ($149.99) Studio Buds earlier this year, Beats is back with a new pair of noise-cancelling true wireless earphones, the $199.99 Beats Fit Pro. Aptly named, the focus here is on in-ear fit security, with built-in earfins made of a pliable material that truly does help create a more secure seal in your ear. They're also armed with active noise cancellation (ANC), and since Beats is owned by Apple, you get the company's H1 chip, which enables features like Spatial Audio with head tracking, Adaptive EQ, hands-free Siri, and one-touch iOS pairing. The sonic performance here is classic Beats, with intense bass, boosted highs, and a scooped-out midrange. The ANC is better than average, with effective low-frequency noise elimination. For the price, there's plenty to like, but the Beats Fit Pro face stiff competition from Apple's own AirPods Pro, as well as models from Bose, Jabra, and Sony.A Focus on Fit Available in black, gray, lavender, or whi...
