◆ Good points
・ A shape that does not get in the way and has a good fit
・ Balanced sound quality
-Effective noise canceling function and excellent transparent mode
・ The Apple H1 chip takes over the functions of AirPods.
・ 'Volume adjustment on the device' that is not possible with the 3rd generation AirPods is possible
・ Suitable for use on Android
・ Longer battery life than 3rd generation AirPods
◆ Bad points
・ The case does not support wireless charging
・ The case is large and bulky
・ Call function is weaker than 3rd generation AirPods
・ Slightly uncomfortable due to long-term use
・ Difficult to use physical buttons
The Beats Fit Pro in the case looks like this. The body has curved protrusions.
The size is 3 cm in length x 1.9 cm in height x 2.4 cm in width, and weighs 66.3 g. Comes with a silicon chip.
The size of the case is 2.85 cm in height x 6.2 cm in length x 6.2 cm in width and weighs 55.1 g.
The slightly bulky case and the fact that it only supports USB Type-C charging and does not support wireless charging are the points that were evaluated as 'impossible even though it is a high-priced earphone'.
It looks like it is worn on the ear.
◆ Shape and fit to the ear
Beats Fit Pro is an item that Newsweek calls 'an alternative to AirPods during exercise' and CNET calls it 'AirPods for sports', and it is suitable for exercise because it fits in the ear and does not come off easily. SLASH GEAR describes the fit as 'arguably the most comfortable I've tried in the last few years.'
Beats brand wireless earphones include
Beats Studio Buds on the left and Beats Fit Pro on the right.
Powerbeats Pro looks like this.
The cases of Powerbeats Pro, Beats Fit Pro, and Beats Studio Buds are lined up. As for the case, Beats Fit Pro is just the middle size.
AirPods are also characterized by their shape, and although there is a device to make them hard to come off from the ears without using a silicon chip,
◆ Sound quality
The Beats Fit Pro comes with a 9.5mm driver that 'produces better sound quality than the AirPods Pro,' The Verge wrote. Regarding the 9.5mm driver, CNET wrote, 'I think the clarity is born and the bass is more punchy and deeper.' SLASH GEAR said, 'I was impressed with the balanced sound.' 'When it comes to listening to orchestras and stringed instruments, Sony's WF-1000XM4 is better than Beats Fit Pro, but when it comes to dance, R & B, and electronic tracks. Beats Fit Pro provides a warm, vibrant sound with no extra exaggeration or pitch. ' Overall, it's a bit unsatisfactory to satisfy 'audiophiles with an extraordinary commitment to audio,' but it seems to be perfect for workouts.
It also comes with a silicon chip that the 3rd generation AirPods don't have, so Newsweek said it would make the sound richer, deeper, and more detailed.
◆ Spatial audio, etc.
Beats Fit Pro is powered by the Apple H1 chip, so you can take advantage of many of the useful features of AirPods, including:
・ Spatial audio and head tracking
・ Automatic switching between iPhone, iPad and Mac
· Automatic sync with all iCloud devices
・ Audio sharing
・ ' Search ' settings
-'Hey Siri' command
・ Skin detection sensor
Spatial audio creates a realistic sound by playing different sounds from the left and right when watching a movie. Head tracking also adjusts the sound appropriately even if you turn your head or move your iPhone. These were also highly evaluated in the 3rd generation AirPods.
◆ Noise canceling
Beats Fit Pro basically has the same active noise canceling (ANC) function as AirPods Pro with H1 chip. The AirPods Pro, which has a better noise canceling function than the 3rd generation AirPods that do not have the ANC function, has an 'external sound capture mode', but Beats Fit Pro also has an external sound capture mode. Beats Fit Pro's noise canceling is composed of ANC function and silicon chip, and it will block the noise of the gym and the street firmly.
◆ Battery life
The battery life of Beats Fit Pro differs depending on whether the ANC function is on or off (adaptive EQ mode). In adaptive EQ mode, it has the longest battery life and can be played for 7 hours, and when recharging in the case is included, the operating time is 30 hours. When the ANC function and the external sound capture mode are activated, the playback time is reduced to 6 hours and 27 minutes. On the other hand, the battery life of the 3rd generation AirPods is 6 hours for music playback and 30 hours including recharging in the case, so Beats Fit Pro is superior in terms of battery life.
◆ Physical button
Beats Fit Pro has a button written 'b' on the outside of the earphone, and it is a mechanism to operate here. One tap of the button is play / pause and call, two taps advance the track, three taps return the track, and long press switches the ANC function / external sound capture mode. In addition, long press can change the setting to 'volume control', which is evaluated as an advantage considering that the 3rd generation AirPods did not have a volume control function on the device. However, you could accidentally touch the button when trying to attach the earphones securely, which Engadget described as 'annoying.' Also, due to the position of the microphone, noise sometimes occurred while trying to adjust the fit.
◆ Call function
'Voice call performance is high, but it hasn't reached AirPods,' said The Verge. Beats Fit Pro uses three microphones when using only one earphone during a call, and a total of five microphones when using both earphones. .. Since it uses a voice detection algorithm, it distinguishes between the sound behind it and the voice, but when I actually held a Zoom meeting, I heard that he received a comment that 'it is less clear than AirPods.'
◆ Compatible with Android
Beats has an app for Android, so Beats Fit Pro is also available for Android devices. Even when using Beats Fit Pro on an Android device, many functions such as ANC function, external sound capture mode, adaptive EQ, spatial audio, automatic stop / playback by skin detection sensor, one-touch pairing, fast charging, class 1 Bluetoot connection, etc. Available. However, spatial audio, head tracking, Siri launch, etc. are not available.
The Beats Fit Pro is priced at $ 199.99 and will be available in Japan in 2022. It is not 'the most sophisticated and high-quality sound of all earphones', but it is said that it is quite easy to use if it is limited to daily use and use of earphones during exercise, so it fits properly. By paying attention, it is evaluated as 'outstanding than the 3rd generation AirPods that share much of the technology'.
