The design is very different, but what is the sound?How to use?
BEATS's new wireless earphone, Beats Fit Pro, has been released in the United States.199.Active noise canceling (ANC), about $ 99 (about 22,000 yen, unreleased in Japan) and $ 249 (Japan's price 35,80 yen), about 50 (5,500 yen) cheaper than the AirPods Pro.It is installed, with Apple's H1 chip, the cooperation with the iPhone is smooth, it is compatible with spatial audio, and it is a spec that makes you think, "Isn't it better here?"
Gizmodo's Caitlin McGarry reporter has reviewed it for about a week, so please see if this is the case!
Beats is a mysterious position.Their marketing was top -class, and the headphones, which put the bass on the front, were known for their favorite (at least when they were taken in photos).You can see that design "Oh, Beats" immediately.But recently Beats has expanded the defensive range from conventional over -ear -type headphones to Bluetooth earphones, but their designs are more modest, and they seem to be in the role of branding.When Kim Kardashian was recently wearing a Beats Fit Pro, it was not as easy to understand as an over -year -old headphone with the Beats "B" logo that I used before.
I expect Beats earphones to benefit from Apple's technology because they are under the umbrella of Apple.However, BEATS's first wireless earphone, Studio Buds, which was released in June this year, has partially reduced the coordination function with iOS as in AirPods Pro.For Android users, it can be used more seamlessly than AirPods.
Anyway, I used Beats Fit Pro for a week.As a result, you can affirm.If you want an AIRPODS Pro or the 3rd generation AirPods with Apple's device and a perfect fit, you should buy Beats Fit Pro.
Beats Fit Pro
What is this?: Beats from Apple, completely wireless earphones.Basically, $ 50 (approximately 5,500 yen) is reduced to AirPods Pro.
Price: 199.$ 99 (about 22,000 yen)
Favorite place: Wing is attached and it fits well during exercise, wonderful no -can performance, automatic device switching with Apple H1 chip, adaptive EQ ( + α), Naga -no -battery life, cheaper than AirPods Pro.
I don't like it: The charging case is large, wireless charging cannot be done.
Super stable fit
The first thing you can see in the Beats Fit Pro is the wing design.Unlike the PowerBeats Pro, which was fixed with a hook on the back of the ear, the Beats Fit Pro has a flexible wing, depression in the ear hole, and according to Google search, the "earlier boat".It fits tightly.This wing fixes the entire earphone and does not move.
Beats Fit Pro is not the smallest Beats earphones (Studio Buds is smaller), but it has more ergonomic and wing, so people with small ears feel better than Studio Buds.To do.Like Studio Buds, Beats Fit Pro has 3 sizes of silicon eartips and you can choose a fit, but if you take the iPhone Bluetooth settings (in the case of Android, Beats App), you can take the ear chip fit test in the iPhone.You can find the most sealed chips.
Beats Fit Pro, the adhesion is high.It's not uncomfortable, but as far as I know, it fits more than an AirPods Pro that is a bad fit in the noikan earphone.Of course, the fit of the earphones is very individual, so what is good for me is not always good for everyone.
I am famous for dropping my earphones just by putting my hair on my ears because my hair is a different creature.Such a case occurs frequently during running, and there is nothing more dull as myself chasing AirPod rolling on the sidewalk.
Fortunately, this problem has not occurred in Beats Fit Pro.Last week, I paired Beats Fit Pro with Peloton Bike+, did some cycling classes, running outdoors, and training muscle, but I forgot to wear earphones in the first place.In terms of weight, AirPods Pro 5.Beats Fit Pro for 4G 5.It's as light as 6G, but the Beats Fit Pro wing is still effective.If you sweat in exercise, AirPods Pro tends to come off your ears little by little, but Beats Fit Pro does not move.Beats Studio Buds is also comfortable during exercise, and both Beats Fit Pro, AirPods Pro and Beats Studio Buds have water resistance and sweat resistance in IPX4 authentication.
But after all, the Beats Fit Pro wing works well to fix it.No matter how hard I tried, the fit was not loosened.
What I don't like in the design elements of Beats Fit Pro is the charging case.However, the rounded square case is cute, and the lilac I tried and the inside of the gray is especially cute.But it's a bit too big, it's not as good as PowerBeats Pro, but it's a little harder to carry as a woman who is bigger than the 3rd generation AirPods, as well as AirPods Pro.Other than Lilac, there are blacks and white, and the outside is gray and the inside is sage green.
AirPods Pro class sound
Beats Fit Pro has a total of 6 microphones (three on both sides), 15 % larger than Beats Studio Buds..A 5mm dual dynamic diaphragm transducer is built in.When I tried it for 6 days, it was a very good impression for the sound quality as a whole.The fit is better than AirPods Pro, but the sound quality is about the same, and in some cases it is better in design.
Beatsのイヤホンらしく、Beats Fit Proは低音の扱いに長けていて、Kim Petrasの『Demons』のインダストリアルな低音から、NormaniとCardi Bの『Wild Side』の90年代R&B風ビートまでちゃんと聞こえるし、逆にThe Mountain Goatsのアコースティックギターとかシンバルロールのローファイな音もその通りに聞かせてくれます。
In the Beats Fit Pro, the bass is still in front than listening to AirPods Pro.When I listened to the same songs with Beats Fit Pro, AirPods Pro, and 3rd generation AirPods, I felt that the AirPods and AirPods Pro often sounded more natural.The sound of the Beats Fit Pro is sharp and brighter, and the rust may be too emphasized, especially when noikan is on.However, this impression is the corner of the heavy box, and the sound is very good overall.
The Beats Fit Pro was able to use the left and right earpieces alone and were convenient when calling.When using both earpieces together, five of the six microphones are used to pick up their voices and erase the surrounding sounds.When using only one, all three microphones of the earpieces are used.The call quality was clear, and the calling partner could hear my voice without any problems.
Beats Fit Pro has a high degree of adhesion, so noikan is also very high.This time, I haven't been able to try it on an airplane yet, but the results of testing whether I could erase various environmental sounds were good.The outdoor sound, the inner sound of the airplane played at a loud volume in SONOS Playbase, and the operation sound of the old washing machine in my house were all effective.Compared to AirPods Pro, I felt that the Beats Fit Pro's noikan was not better.
The noikan mode and the outer sound import mode can be done by pressing and holding either earpieces, but in the iOS Bluetooth settings or the Android Beats app, you can assign a long -press gesture to another task.I liked this mode the most because both the Noi Can and the external sound imported would enable the adaptive EQ and the sound that fits my ears.By the way, AirPods also has adaptive EQ.I think full EQ control is useful for earphones with manual operations of the app, but the Beats Fit Pro adaptive EQ is also functioning well.The only thing I thought was a bit strange was that when turning off the no -can and the outer sound import mode, it was useless to press and use Bluetooth settings.
Other gestures of Beats Fit Pro cannot be customized, but they can be used sufficiently.Press once normally to play, pause, and respond to the phone, skip it in front of it, and press it three times to skip behind.It can be operated by voice assistant.
Like AirPods Pro (or 3rd generation AirPods and AirPods Max), Beats Fit Pro supports Apple's spatial audio, and can also dynamic head tracking with built -in acceleration meter and gyroscope.This is a function that was not in Beats Studio Buds.In other words, when you listen to Dolby Atmos songs, you can experience immersive audio experience, and the sound changes as you move your head.All of the devices that support spatial audio enjoyed this effect.It's not as good as buying something just for spatial audio, but I think it's a good sign that Beats Fit Pro has this Apple's push function.
Apple experience as expected
Beats Fit Pro is different from Beats Studio Buds other than the wing design, which is equipped with Apple's H1 chip and uses H1 -derived functions.
The pairing with the iPhone is as simple as AirPods, but the Beats Fit Pro has the same functions as connecting AirPods and AirPods Pro to the iPhone.Beats Fit Pro has a installation detection function, so if you put it in your ears, you can automatically play music from the previous part or answer the phone.Knowing the Apple device used by the user, you can switch between them enough (there are some lags, but it's because of Bluetooth).Beats Studio Buds had no functions.
Beats Fit Pro also works neatly with Android, which is unusual for Apple's device.Because it supports Android fast pairing, it is easy to connect to Android smartphones, and you can use the Beats app to customize gestures, check the battery status, and take the eartip fit test.The head tracking of spatial audio is not available, but it supports Dolby Atmos immersive music.
Very long battery life
The battery life of the Beats Fit Pro is 7 hours and 6 hours on the no -can and outer sound, and the case is 23 hours and turned on 21 hours on the case.So, when it's off, it's a total of 30 hours and 27 hours even if it's on.This is longer than the earpiece 5 hours and a 24 -hour AirPods Pro in the case, and it is considerably higher than the Beats Studio Buds, which was 5 hours and 10 hours in the case.In this case, Beats Studio Buds can even have a few months ago, but even if there is almost no reason to exist.
Even with the actual feeling, the battery life of the Beats Fit Pro was as touched.I listened to music and podcasts for several hours, called, exercised, and used it for about a week, but the battery level of the case was 65 %, and the earphones were always charged.It seems to be okay without charging for several weeks, it is ideal.
Unlike AirPods, the case of Beats Fit Pro is a wired charging with USB-C.It is not compatible with wireless charging, but I do not consider it much.When I want to charge, I just want to charge fast, so I feel that wireless charging is too late.But this may be different for each person.
Beats Fit Pro, who should it buy?
I was worried that Apple had various options for earphones, so if Beats Fit Pro would come out, it would be difficult to understand.But it was unnecessary.Now that I actually used it, I think Beats Fit Pro is the earphone that people who seek wireless Noikan whales should buy.
。The fit, the battery life is wonderful, the sound quality and no -can are the highest, all of which have all the convenience of Apple, and it is 50 dollars cheaper than AirPods Pro.Beats Studio Buds is cheaper and contains no -can, but I think it's tough because it doesn't contain Apple's functions.
For those who don't need noikan in the first place, AirPods is very good and slightly cheaper than Beats Fit Pro.However, it may be difficult to fit because you can not customize it with ear chips.
The only dissatisfaction with Beats Fit Pro is a charging case, but I don't think this is a big problem.I really like Beats Fit Pro, and I think that's probably the case.
