Frequently Asked Questions
How do you charge them?
To charge your Beats Fit Pro, place them in the charging case. When you need to charge both the earbuds and the case, place the earbuds in the case and connect the case to a power source with the USB-C cable that's included with your Beats Fit Pro. You can also charge the case without the earbuds. (Note: USB-C power adapter sold separately.)
How do you turn them on and off?
Beats Fit Pro automatically power on when they are removed from the case, and power off when placed back in the case with the lid closed.
Can you control your music?
Beats Fit Pro feature a multi-function ‘b’ button on each earbud. Press once to play or pause, twice to skip forward, or three times to skip backward. With optical sensors on each earbud, Beats Fit Pro will automatically play and pause your content when you put them in or remove from your ears
How do you control noise cancelling?
Press and hold the ‘b’ button down to toggle between Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency mode. You can also control listening modes, including Adaptive EQ (with ANC and Transparency off), and customize button setup within iOS or the Beats app for Android.
How do I improve the comfort, stability, and sound quality of your Beats Fit Pro?
Beats earphones come with three sets of eartips - small, medium, and large. Medium eartips come attached to the product. Choose the pair that's most comfortable and provides the best sound experience for you. To select the correct eartip, first gently insert the earbud, with eartip affixed, into your ear. You can adjust the fit of the earbud until it feels secure. To remove the earbud from your ear, twist it gently and pull it away from your ear. The flexible wingtip is permanently attached to Beats Fit Pro and helps with earbud stability. Use your finger to slightly bend the wingtip and fit it into the upper portion of your ear. The wingtip, combined with the correct eartip, will provide a comfortable, secure fit which helps optimize sound performance.
How do I activate Siri or other voice assistants?
On Apple devices, you can activate Siri hands-free just by saying “Hey Siri”. Or, change the function of the ‘b’ button to activate your voice assistant within your iOS settings. On Android, download the Beats app to change the press and hold function of the ‘b’ button to activate the default voice assistant on your device. Voice assistant access via the ‘b’ button can be customized on one or both of your earbuds.
How do I configure the multi-function ‘b’ button?
You can configure the press and hold function of the ‘b’ button to either toggle ANC modes or activate voice assistant on one or both of your earbuds. Alternatively, you can customize the ‘b’ button to manage volume controls with volume down on the left earbud and volume up on the right earbud. To do this in iOS, tap on the product icon in Control Center and select the “Press and hold” menu to choose your preferred function for each earbud. To do this on Android, download the Beats app from Google Play or directly from beatsbydre.com. Once your product is paired in the app, select the “Press and hold” menu in the product page to choose your preferred function for each earbud..
How long does the battery last?
Beats Fit Pro can provide up to 6 hours of listening time with ANC or Transparency turned on, or up to 5 hours of listening time with ANC turned on. The case holds around three additional charges for a combined total of 27 hours with ANC on. In Adaptive EQ mode, the earbuds offer 7 hours of listening time and up to 30 hours total when combined with the charging case.
Do they have a microphone?
Each Beats Fit Pro earbud has three total microphones, enabling high-quality call performance as well as ANC and Transparency performance. During phone calls, all three microphones are active to optimize conversations when using one earbud, and five microphones are active when using both earbuds.
How do I pair with my iPhone?
Beats Fit Pro are ready to pair right out of the box. On iPhone running the latest iOS, simply open the lid of the case with earbuds seated in the case, hold near unlocked phone, and follow on-screen instructions.
How do I pair with my Android device?
With the Beats app running, simply open the lid of the case with earbuds seated in the case, hold near unlocked phone, and follow on-screen instructions. You can also pair your product in the standard Bluetooth menu. To download the Beats app, visit the Google Play store or download directly from beatsbydre.com.
How do I pair with my Mac or with another device that uses Bluetooth?
Make sure that you turned on Bluetooth on your Mac or other device. With the case lid open and earbuds seated in the case, hold your Beats Fit Pro next to your Mac or other device. Press and hold the button on the inside of the charging case until the LED on the front of the case blinks white. Open the Bluetooth menu on your Mac or other device. For example, on your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. In the list of discovered Bluetooth devices, tap or click your Beats Fit Pro.
How do I pair with additional Bluetooth devices?
To pair to additional devices, with the earbuds in the case and lid open, press the button inside the case until the LED begins to blink white. Beats Fit Pro are now in pairing mode and can be paired to any standard Bluetooth device.
Can I wear just one earbud?
Yes, you can use either earbud independently.
How waterproof / water resistant are these?
Beats Fit Pro are rated IPX4, which means they are resistant to sweat and water splashing from any direction. The case is not sweat- or water-resistant.
How do I keep my product up to date?
Software updates will occasionally be made available to enable new features or improve the product experience. These ‘silent’ updates are automatically enabled when connected to an Apple device. To stay up to date on an Android device, download the Beats app from Google Play or directly from beatsbydre.com.
What is spatial audio and how do find content that takes advantage of this feature?
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking provides an immersive, theater-like experience for compatible content, including Dolby Atmos. Beats Fit Pro leverages gyroscopes and accelerometers in the earbuds and your iPhone or iPad, then tracks the movement of your head and your device so sound stays anchored to your device, regardless of how your head moves, creating a dynamic, multi-dimensional experience. Beats Fit Pro also automatically plays spatial audio content available in Apple Music, which also works with Android.
What devices and content can I use the head tracking feature with?
Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking requires Apple devices with iOS 16, iPad OS 16.1, macOS 13, tvOS 16, or later, and works with compatible content in supported apps.

I got a say these headphones are amazing. They are small and discreet. I am an avid runner including the Chicago Marathon. During my entire train up this past summer I never once lost audio connection or felt discomfort or had an earphone fall out. I also work in a large warehouse where we are allowed to wear one headphone at our workstations. These headphones are always reliable, long lasting battery, comfortable, and just dependable. I can be sweating during a 20 mile run listening to my favorite playlist or working hard in the warehouse and these headphones sound great. I will always rep beats headphones going forward if this is the audio quality they continue to put forth.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2022Color: Sage GrayStyle: Fit ProSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseI am a long-time user of the Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones. These are my favorite noise cancelling option to use while taking walks. I like to listen to audio books while walking and the QuietComfort 20 are superb for this use. I also like to use a noise cancelling option while listening to audio books and podcasts in the car, especially because my car does not contain road noise well. I decided I would like to have a second QuietComfort 20 reserved for use in my car. An additional advantage to having a second one is if anything happens to the one I walk with, I'll have a backup. But, unfortunately, Bose discontinued the QuietComfort 20 forcing me to have to find another option for use in the car.
I first purchased the wireless Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. But I found much to dislike about them. They feel heavy in the ears; the buds themselves just feel heavier and less comfortable than the QuietComfort 20 Headphones. I also disliked that every time I put the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds into my ears they speak to me telling me they are trying to connect to my device and also reporting battery state. I found this incredibly annoying. Another thing I hugely disliked was that there is an uncomfortable "boom boom" sensation as I walk with them in. I wear Vibram FiveFinger shoes and do not walk with a heavy gait. I do not get this "boom boom" sensation when walking with the QuietComfort 20 headphones. I also disliked how big the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds' case was. I disliked how the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds sometimes felt like they weren't secure in my ears and when I would try to adjust their stability I would accidentally change the noise cancellation setting. On two occasions, an uncomfortable high pitched sound emitted from one of the buds; it only lasted for a couple seconds but it was annoying. I tried using the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds for a month and never could bring myself to like them, so I returned them. I now have a strong dislike for Bose, primarily because they discontinued my beloved QuietComfort 20 Headphones. But up until recently, I was a huge Bose fan.
I purchased Apple AirPods Pro. I immediately fell in love with the H1 chip operation. But I didn't like the color white. I also didn't like the stalk that extends down. But I started using them thinking I had found my noise cancelling option for the car. And although the AirPods Pro delivered some "boom boom" sensation while walking, it was much much better than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. Then I started to become aware of a huge problem with the AirPods Pro. They would not stay in my ears. I would place them in ear, hear the noise cancellation activate and then in time the noise cancellation would turn off because one of the pods had pushed out of my ear enough to cause the noise cancellation function to disengage. I found myself constantly having to push them into my ear in an effort to keep them from pushing out. A couple times they plain fell out of my ears. I consulted instructionals on how to properly insert them into my ears for proper fit. I also did the fit test and passed the test indicating I had good seal. Only the seal wouldn't last and the pods would eventually push out of my ears. So I had to return the AirPods Pro because they wouldn't stay in my ears.
I purchased some non noise cancelling earbuds thinking that a passive seal would be enough, but I found a number of problems with this option. I didn't like shoving thing way into my ear. Not only was it a little uncomfortable, but I also wondered about the sanitariness of touching (e.g., foam inserts) prior to shoving them into my ear. Maybe this could lead to ear infection? Also, the amount of sound isolation was too good which diminished my situational awareness while walking and/or driving. So passive noise block earbuds weren't solving my use need.
I was worried there was no option for the car and I would not have a backup to my beloved QuietComfort 20 headphones. I really wish I could buy another pair of QuietComfort 20 headphones just to have a backup for the future. After delaying and delaying, I decided to go to the trouble to try one last option for the car: the Beats Fit Pro. Eureka!
The Beats Fit Pro are fantastic! They have the H1 chip, which is awesome. They fit and feel way better than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and are super secure in my ears, unlike the AirPods Pro. The Beats Fit Pro feel so light to wear. I can wear them all day and there is no discomfort. They also have a button to cycle through the noise cancellation options, which I like a lot better than the tapping that was needed on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. I also like the button press on the Beats Fit Pro better than the stalk-squeeze on the AirPods Pro.
The one edge that I might say the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have over the others is the noise cancellation. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds arguably provide more intense noise cancellation that results in more of a bass presence and a sense that the content being played is closer to you. However, there is a cost to this that I don't think is worth it. The biggest cost for me was the "boom boom" sensation while walking. I don't know exactly what is to blame for this but it completely ruins the earbuds for what I want to use them for. I found the fit and noise cancellation of the Beats Fit Pro to be better suited to my needs.
I wrote this to help others in their quest to find the earbuds that work best for them. I strongly recommend giving the Beats Fit Pro a try. I like them a lot. I think many others will too.
ADDENDUM (added 2022-NOV): My beloved wired Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones stopped working a few weeks ago. I purchased the wired Bose Headphones many, many years ago and used them a lot, so it was not unexpected. Fortunately, the Beats Fit Pro have been able to replace the wired Headphones for my daily walks. The Beats Fit Pro have minimal "boom boom" sensation while stepping/walking. Although the Beats Fit Pro have more "boom boom" than the wired Bose Headphones, the "boom boom" is minimal and much, much better than offered by the wireless Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. I have been using the Beats Fit Pro in cold weather lately and discovered that the physical side button on the Beats Fit Pro works fantastically when wearing a hat. For example, if I am wearing a thick knit winter hat, I can still activate the side button on the Beats Fit Pro by pushing on the outside of the hat. This can't be done with a touch-operation "button" like found on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. The AirPods Pro "button" might be more difficult to operate with a hat on too. So if you are intending to use earbuds under a hat or hood, Beats Fit Pro will give you the advantage of still having full, easy use of the side button for play/pause operation from outside the hat.

Pros – These buds had some great base, and the wingtip gave them a fit that made them refuse to fall out of my ears. But the best feature? Physical “clicky” buttons on each one of the buds. You press in and hear/feel the click, rather than relying on a touchscreen-like feature. No need to guess if you tapped them once or twice, you will know.
Cons – The wingtip gives a very sturdy fit, but not the most comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with smaller ears. The noise canceling was solid, but nothing special. And this may be picky, but I didn’t care for most of the color schemes available. I prefer my earbuds to be hard to notice, and even the black ones have a bright red letter “b” in the middle.
Beats Studio Buds - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096SV8SJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Very comfortable with the same great physically “clicky” buttons as the Beats Fit Pro. Noise canceling seemed slightly better than average. Great base. Classic look.
Cons – Tested during a workout, a little bit of sweat had these sliding right out of my ear. The case for these earbuds also was the flimsiest of any I had tested, with a very weak hinge that I was scared of breaking off within the 2 weeks of using.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWZHHKP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – A neat feature that I noticed only in these earbuds was that it had noise amplification as well as noise cancelation. With one swipe in the app, the surrounding sound was actually louder and clearer than it would be without the earbuds in. Great if you are hard of hearing, or just enjoy snooping on conversations out of reach.
Cons – Similar to the Beats Studio Buds, these didn’t stay in during a workout. They were usable, but every 10 minutes I found myself pushing them back into my ear. And this is an opinion, but these are the ugliest earbuds out of the bunch. The shiny black gleam made it look like a large beetle was hanging out in my ear. No visible brand placement either, which makes them appear cheap and generic rather than the quality Samsung they are.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TBM1L3S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Cost effective! I added these to the test group because of the unique shape, and for that they are worth giving a try. If you have small ears and do not like the rubber insert that is standard in most other earbuds, these may be perfect for you.
Cons – Poor fit for large ears. These were tested the least of all of the buds, because the fit was so bad for my ear shape that they wouldn’t stay in if I turned my head too fast.
Bose QuietComfort - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4KWM9T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Bose noise canceling is unmatched. If your primary use for earbuds is to cancel out that background white noise, this is the pair for you. The sound quality is great, not too heavy on the base. The case for the earbuds stood out from the rest as the only one that impressed me. Felt very study, and I had no worries tossing it into a gym bag or cup holder. The only case with a button latch to make sure it doesn’t open accidentally.
Cons – This was the most expensive pair of earbuds by a longshot, and there were still some things I felt could be improved. The rubber inserts had more of a “flayed” shape rather than the “rounded” shape that is standard. My guess is that this was by design, because the earbuds were also slightly heavier than others and may need that extra in-ear grip. The flayed shape did make them sturdier, but at the cost of them being uncomfortable in an active situation. They were also the largest earbuds, and stuck out from the side of my head further than I would have liked.
My favorite? The beats fit pro! While I wouldn’t recommend this pair for everyone, it was perfect for my routine. My music taste benefits from the boosted base, and the wingtip shape was perfect for any workouts. The feature that really convinced me was the physical buttons, something that I didn’t realize how desperately I needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Color: Beats BlackStyle: Fit ProSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseWait for a sale but but they'll still be expensive. If you can afford them then get them. Pass through is good and the noise cancellation is as good as having ear plugs in. Sound is exceptional. Lows, mids and highs all very good. Very happy with these. Additionally, they are amazing for workouts. They stay in without adjustment, all day. They did hurt my ears the first week or so but after I got used to the fit they're better than anything I've ever owned. Battery would be the only downside but they're so damn small I can't fault them for only lasting 4hrs at near max volume. They only take 1hr to fully charge, so after lunch, they're good for the rest of my shift.

5.0 out of 5 stars best of apple without being apple ;)
Color: Sage GrayStyle: Fit ProSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseHave been using it for over an year, these are best in ear buds that you can find in the market, especially for those who want to listen music during fitness routines or even outdoor activities but worry that the pods may drop off from ears. These put your concerns to bed and give total peace of mind. The chipset is same as that in aipods and almost does everything that airpods can do apart from contactless charging.
battery life is good, spatial music is fun, base is not under powered, but can do a bit better(personal opinion), sounds clarity is amazing, so is noise cancellation. However in noisy env picks up ambient sounds more and often have received complaints from other side of the call. Hopefully version upgrades/next gen will address that issue.
All in all highly recommended for fitness folks who love good beats (pun intended) and clear crisp audio but audiophiles may be left wishing for more.
Note - would recommended waiting for deals before grabbing a pair

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fit, good price
Color: Beats WhiteStyle: Fit ProSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseBought it on a famous product site recommendation
Pros: nice fit, good for most exercises, sound is nice, got ANC, decent battery
Cons: fat case, no wireless charging, physical buttons need to push hard
I was hoping to get 90% of what AirPods pro offers on 2/3 price. Maybe I get 80%. AirPods Pro which my family has, still looks better, smaller, and is easier to use. Of course also a bit pricier. I thin AirPods Pro is superior to BFP
