I prefer beats fit pro because I despise over the ear hooks. However note that Powerbeats fit, the successor to beats fit pro, is coming out soon. I'll be upgrading myself since my fit pro is showing some wear and tear after 3 years of use. The wings are perfect, for most people they should be able to prevent the fit pro from falling out of your ears at all, as they get perfectly nudged in. A common complaint is they get a bit uncomfortable for longer periods - I found this to be the case as well but over time my ears adapted so I never feel long term discomfort anymore. No issues with sweat, and I believe they are water resistant for light rain. So overall, BFP were the greatest earbuds I ever owned, in general pretty satisfied. Now waiting to see what the Powerbeats fit has to offer
r/beatsbydre • Earbuds for gym workouts? ->Beats are by far the best. Not just bc of the fit but bc they have the best controls for stop/start/pause/next/previous and volume. and the easiest to pair when switching the headphones between phone and laptop.
r/trailrunning • Runner friends, headphones for running that you love? ->I second the Beats Fit Pro. You can use the XS tips but the top bit keeps them in your ears. I don’t use Apple AirPods because they just don’t stay in.
r/adhdwomen • Earbuds with noise cancelling for small ears? ->These were so good I sold my beats fit pro and these are better than my air pods
r/oneplus • OnePlus Buds Pro 3 — Honest Review ->Beats Fit Pro.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for Working Out? - Recommend me some please! ->I’ve had mine for a few years. Stays in great for exercise, great bass. Top of your price range but worth it.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for Working Out? - Recommend me some please! ->I really wish they would come back out with the Powerbeats but with ANC. I love my fit pros, but I feel like that little wing does absolutely nothing for me. Maybe I just have deformed ears.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Best running earphones/headphones 2025 ->Beats fit Pro. Had them for 3 years and they are superb Might genuinely buy a back up pair. I use them for everything
r/Marathon_Training • Earbuds for running? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

Wind noise is brutal with open ear. They make it worse. Even with most noise cancellation buds. I can’t ride with my Beats Fit Pros although I love them. Probably need bone conduction. I hope the AirPod Pro 3’s have the magic to cancel wind noise. But I doubt it.
r/bikecommuting • Are open-ear earbuds the way to go for bike commuting? ->Beats fit Pro. Had them for 3 years and they are superb Might genuinely buy a back up pair. I use them for everything
r/Marathon_Training • View on Reddit →A dog (arguably my dog) also ate my first 1.5 pairs of Beats fit pro. Apparently they're delicious. They should make Beats-flavoured dog treats.
r/trailrunning • View on Reddit →$200 well spent and that won’t fry when you sweat in them. Think about it this way, you paid what you did for the XM5, and if you continue to work out in them and they get water damage, they will be bricked and they won’t be covered by warranty. So you just lost what you paid for them. Buy AirPods Pro 2 currently going for $169 they’ll sound great, have phenomenal ANC, and they’re water resistant (and I’d argue sweat proof). Your ears won’t get hot less of a chance of them falling out on you, and won’t get as gross and nasty plus they are easier to clean. If earbuds falling out are an issue, beats fit pros stay in like a rock, sound pretty good (not APP good) have pretty decent noise cancellation, and again water resistant (and sweat proof) and you can find for under $100. Over ears are meant for travel and lounging, earbuds are meant for active folks.
r/SonyHeadphones • View on Reddit →I feel like sound quality is subjective. But I have air pods pro ($250) and they sound great. But don’t stay in my ears well. I also have Beats Fit Pro ($199) and they sound great and stay in my ears great too. I’ve had both pair for over 3 years. And they are still good to go.
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →i’ve been using beats fit pros with my iphone, they have 99% of the features that airpods have and are cheaper. my only complaint is that they have a little rubber tip that secures them in the ear, which gets really irritating after a couple of hours, but you can just flick them out to fix that.
r/AussieFrugal • View on Reddit →depends on your use scenario .. i just recently bought a second set of the beats fit pro (in that limited rare Volt Yeloow) because I enjoy them for running ... not sure i'd be happy with the airpods 4 (only tried briefly in store)
r/airpods • View on Reddit →Beats Fit Pro. Had mine for more than a year already. Secure fit. But NC is pretty poor. I use it 5x a week and i sweat heavily during my workouts.
r/bose • View on Reddit →My experience has been great. I’m coming from the Beats Fit Pro since the sound became harsh and the hear buds would hurt after 2 hours of use. I’m enjoying these a lot more. Tested for the correct tips and wings and the fit is great. No ear fatigue for me at all. My primary use was for the gym but have now been using at work on phone calls and Teams meetings. No complaints on the receiving end. Sound is great, bass is present, the equalizer within is nice. I mainly listening to HipHop and EDM music. ANC is good enough when taking calls or blocking out noise at the gym. At the price point only complaint for me could be the case but it’s rarely left in my pocket.
r/Skullcandy • View on Reddit →Bought a pair today, going back tomorrow. Impossible to get a good fit/seal with any of the ear tip sizes and sound is not good. The originals I had were much better (other than the charging issues) and my current Beats Fit Pros are much better. Oh well.
r/beatsbydre • View on Reddit →The ANC is very good, like I bring them to school and when I’m using them, I can barely hear anything at all, it’s to the point that when I removed the buds, that’s when I noticed that our team leader was confiscating our phones. ???? 10/10 earphones.
r/CMFTech • View on Reddit →Went from beats fit pros to APP3. Enjoying them. Seem secure when running. ANC is way better.
r/airpods • View on Reddit →My BFP wingtips broke after a year or so. Case is massive and annoying and not built well.

r/beatsbydre • View on Reddit →need a long term review to make sure the [wingtips don't separate/tear](https://www.reddit.com/r/beatsbydre/comments/y1kevs/beats_fit_pro_wing_tip_torn_apart_does_it_happens/). Had to replace both earbuds twice on my beats fit pro. massive design flaw, hope they addressed it.
r/beatsbydre • View on Reddit →In my opinion, having in-ear earbuds with noise reduction/cancellation is generally unsafe as you cannot hear your surroundings very well. On the flipside, a lot of in-ear earbuds have a "transparency" mode that uses the mic to allow you to hear your surroundings, but this will definitely be affected by the wind. I have the Beats Fit Pro and they work well. They technically have a noise cancellation feature, but I don't use this while running and instead use the transparency mode to be more aware of my surroundings. I don't feel like the wind affects them too bad unless it's incredibly windy. And if it's incredibly windy, I'm caring more about not dying from the increased resistance of the wind than it affecting my volume!
r/Marathon_Training • View on Reddit →Beats Fit Pro. Essentially AirPod Pros with wing tips instead of a stem.
r/trailrunning • View on Reddit →Shokz for outdoors (awareness) Beats fit pro for in-ear
r/beginnerrunning • View on Reddit →LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ITS HAPPENINNNG my god bro I don’t know how much my beats fit pro can handle they are turning yellow (they were white) and the plastic paint is not sticking anymore ??
r/apple • View on Reddit →My beats fit pro have a hissing sound when in noise cancellation mode. I hate it a lot. I also have a Bose QC Ultra earbuds and somehow they figured that hissing sound and got rid of it. I hope my beats also gets it away.
r/beatsbydre • View on Reddit →Beats Fit Pro - I saw it mentioned once in a sub and thought I’d go for it. Great fit and I’ve never so much as had to give them a push back in to readjust. Sound is great and battery life lasts as long as you would dare run.
r/Marathon_Training • View on Reddit →The Shokz OpnenRun Pro 2’s are the only ones in the shokz range with ok bass. Powerbeats Fit are better for music but are only good for trails where you don’t need as much awareness. I have both and tend to use the Shokz for pretty much all my outdoor runs. The powerbeats fit are good for gym and treadmill usage though.
r/ultrarunning • View on Reddit →You can buy hooks that slip onto the earbuds to keep them in your ears. I also liked the Beats fit pro with the hooks
r/yoga • View on Reddit →AirPods Pro sometimes fall out of my ears, but my Beats Fit Pro always stay put.
r/AppleFitnessPlus • View on Reddit →On a treadmill, sometimes the noise cancellation is absolutely necessary!
r/Marathon_Training • View on Reddit →It’s honestly amazing for its price. Sure I could hear that it’s a little bit worser than the FP when I listen to music but for this price, it’s pretty great. And the ANC is pretty great too. I love it. smart dial smart dial smart dial
r/CMFTech • View on Reddit →I've used the Beats Fit Pro for 4 years, thrown them in the wash too many times and they are still rocking. I think they've replaced it with this : [https://www.apple.com/nz/shop/product/ME2J4PA/A/powerbeats-fit-wireless-fitness-earbuds-with-secure-fit-jet-black?fnode=792aea0583061078a6ce05feec7cb4a47ec8ab2271af2f6df5d18f8f9fc3816041c223dae6539d01153621428983f10700ef9bc408d13cd1134bc0d0c588d402b6e563cece9e126df0696bbcb3baad2b2030adffbf0d852b4f27dcfc0cfa3fc86a4c183b9a85a84d564c3f18f2a26fd8](https://www.apple.com/nz/shop/product/ME2J4PA/A/powerbeats-fit-wireless-fitness-earbuds-with-secure-fit-jet-black?fnode=792aea0583061078a6ce05feec7cb4a47ec8ab2271af2f6df5d18f8f9fc3816041c223dae6539d01153621428983f10700ef9bc408d13cd1134bc0d0c588d402b6e563cece9e126df0696bbcb3baad2b2030adffbf0d852b4f27dcfc0cfa3fc86a4c183b9a85a84d564c3f18f2a26fd8)
r/newzealand • View on Reddit →As someone with similar struggles - soft in-ear hooks. There's the occasional unicorn design that just works, but your best bet is something that fits securely not just into your ear canal. Unfortunately most of that category is sports gear that's both very bassy and uncomfortable to outright painful for longer sessions, but something like the Sony Linkbuds, basic Beats Fit Pro or previous gen of Bose QuietComfort might pop up just within your budget if you keep an eye on sales and discounts.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • View on Reddit →I quite like my Adidas FDW-01 earbuds. No ANC and they will start wearing on your ears after a while, but they ain't coming out unless you want them to, and if you don't like the neck band there's an FWD-02 that does away with that. There's a lot of more secure and good sounding earbuds with all sorts of security features out there than a mediocre brand like Jabra and basic airpods, though, and all of them are likely to meet your requirements better than any headphone. JBL Endurance Race for example are also very secure and have an excellent IP rating that'll hold out through a thunderstorm, Beats Fit Pro are expensive but offer soft flexible hooks with good sound, and JLab Epic Air Sports pack their ANC with over-ear hooks instead if you don't want anything poking into your ear. And any decently sized ear hooks *will* be more secure than even the tightest headphone clamp, without bumping or catching on anything.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • View on Reddit →I initially worried that Beats products were over-priced and over hyped, but my Beats Fits Pros been my constant companions over thousands of km of running, snow, -20c temperatures, rain, and all my running milestones. I don't mind the Shokz, but the audio quality of the Beats to propel you when you're really feeling low on a big, long effort has been huge. Though I wear them so much that there's a perpetual sore spot on the inside of one ear. My preferred combo is Beats, and then Shokz for a half hour while the Beats charge in their pod. My go-to headphone routine for 5 hour + runs.
r/trailrunning • View on Reddit →I’ve been loving these and I am usually running with just one side in anyway (healing ear piercings) so I can still hear my surroundings. Love that they read my texts!
r/Marathon_Training • View on Reddit →The best ear buds for working out or just plain working outdoors are the beats fit pro. They will not fall out and sound really good. Not cheap but I've had mine for 2 years using them daily to work out and they are still going strong.
r/Construction • View on Reddit →Can second this. Have had my Beats Fit Pros for 2.5 years, they still work fine. I bought them refurbished and use them daily. Sound quality is decent and they refuse to fall out of your head. Absolutely recommend.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →My beats fit pros went through wash and are still going strong. I like the option of transparency and still being able to switch to noise canceling. The 5 minute quick charge saved me more than once when I didn’t get them seated.
r/Marathon_Training • View on Reddit →I use my beats fit pro for workouts. They never fall out and actually sound great, even better than my studio pros lol. My xm4s don’t have enough clamp force so they’d always slide off my head at the gym
r/SonyHeadphones • View on Reddit →Weird! The wing is what makes them perfect for me. No airpod has ever stayed in my ears, but the fit pro are a dream for me.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • View on Reddit →Beats fit pro. I’ve literally crashed on my bike and they stayed in! That said, try before you buy (or try/return) because everyone’s ears are different, but for me they are rock solid. Edit: the BFPs are basically the studio buds but with the in hear hook thingie.
r/beatsbydre • View on Reddit →Beats fit pro in transparent audio mode and my head on a swivel
r/trailrunning • View on Reddit →Yep, the bass and ANC are worse compared to Beats Fit Pro and Powerbeats Fit. The Powerbeats Pro of course didn’t have ANC but had the most bass of any of them. As a sports bud in the Apple ecosystem I recommend the Powerbeats Fit.
r/beatsbydre • View on Reddit →Beats fit pro have been so good for me also! On my 3rd pair (my dog chewed the first 2 pairs lol)
r/trailrunning • View on Reddit →Honestly? IEMs. For actually being on the move and surviving near anything you just can't beat dedicated exercise earphones. A lot of them don't have the very best sound, but you can actually stick with Beats here for something premium like the Fit Pro or Powerbeats Pro 2 that can take a splash and stay securely in your ears while still offering a reasonably fun sound.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • View on Reddit →I go to a loud ass ufc and I bought the 2’s 6 months ago. I thought it was overkill but NC is really freaking good. And they fit better. The crazy thing is I don’t go max volume any more because I don’t have to. I do go back and forth between the large and medium ear things but think large works better for NC and fit. One more thing- my favorite headphones of all time were the beats fit pro 2’s. I loved the bass on those, APP3 aren’t as deep but pretty damn close. First song I listened to was nas’ you won’t see me tonight
