Adam Kos The connection between Apple and music is not only about its streaming platform and AirPods, but also about the Beats brand. And it was she who recently introduced the TWS model of Beats Fit Pro headphones, which is aimed directly at AirPods Pro. It just has a lower price and a more pleasing design for some.
Appearance and design
Apple already introduced AirPods Pro on October 30, 2019. It is therefore already a more than two-year-old device that is still waiting for its successor. Compared to the classic AirPods, the company opted for a plug design and slightly smaller curved legs. Even thanks to the white color, Apple's handwriting is clearly visible here. Although the Beats Fit Pro also bring the brand's typical design, it is certainly a pleasant diversion in the boredom of the white Apple accessories.
In addition, the construction of the handset is completely different here. Yes, they are ear buds, but they don't have the typical AirPods feet, instead they offer so-called in-ear wings that are flexible for an ideal fit. However, it should be noted here that not all users may be comfortable with this. It is offered in four colors, i.e. black, white, gray and purple. They also offer three different sizes of silicone tips in the package so that the headphones fit exactly in your ear canal.

Function
The design is what distinguishes the two models from each other the most. In terms of individual functions, the headphones are almost identical. Although Beats have one ace up their sleeve, as they are fully compatible with the Android platform. So both models have an H1 chip, so they both also handle Siri commands and are integrated into the Find platform. Along with this, there is also automatic switching between the devices in use.
Thanks to the plug design, the novelty also has active noise suppression with permeability mode, it also has surround sound and resistance to sweat and water according to IPX4. The control itself is the same using the sensor, which is hidden here in the brand logo. With its help, you can start and stop playback, answer or end calls, move forward or backward by a track, and long-press it to switch between noise reduction and throughput modes. There are also dual microphones that focus your voice precisely, while the digital processor eliminates external noise and wind, making it clear and easy for the other party to hear.

Battery
Beats Fit Pro battery life:
- Up to 6 hours of listening on a single charge
- Up to 7 hours of listening on a single charge with active noise cancellation and transmittance turned off
- More than 24 hours of listening with the charging case
- In 5 minutes, the headphones in the charging case are charged for about an hour of listening
AirPods Pro battery life:
- Up to 4,5 hours of listening time on a single charge
- Up to 5 listens per charge with active noise cancellation and throughput turned off
- More than 24 hours of listening with the charging case
- In 5 minutes, the headphones in the charging case are charged for about an hour of listening
To save battery, the novelty also provides automatic play/pause through optical sensors and motion accelerometers. The acoustic platform itself should provide a strong and balanced sound. However, how they will actually play will be revealed only after the first testing and, above all, comparison. The case is then charged via a USB-C cable, which you will find in the package. The company does not mention wireless charging.

Price
It is true that on official website headphones, as in Apple Online Store, there is no mention of accessibility features to help people with disabilities. These are live listening, conversation amplification, and custom headphone sound settings and customization. So this will still be unique exclusively to AirPods Pro.
You won't find the new product in the Czech Apple Online Store yet, so the question is what the Czech price will be. But the American one is set at $199,99, which is $50 less than in the case of AirPods Pro. So if we were to convert to the Czech price, the Beats Fit Pro could be just below the six thousand CZK mark. You can get AirPods Pro from us for 7 CZK.
We can also get Airpods Pro here for under six thousand, and someone already wrote about it here. Why did you delete it? What was wrong with that? Can anyone answer this for me?
In the English help for Beats Fit Pro, Apple writes that the Live Listen function is supported by these headphones.
