Beats Fit Pro – True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds – Apple H1 Headphone Chip, Compatible with Apple & Android, Class 1 Bluetooth, Built-in Microphone, 6 Hours of Listening Time – Stone Purple

Good sound, seamless iPhone integration.
I like how secure these earphones are, comfortable and do not gall out. The sound quality is great, and easy to learr controls. In the beginning the soft ruber tips were getting painfully uncomfortable in 30 minutes or so, but once you find the right placement, the tip does bot dig into the ear anymore. I was hesitant to buy these because some reviews listed the charging case as flimsy, its not as sturdy as airpod case, but quality seems decent, and case is a little to big for my liking, but quality of the earphones make up for it and then some. Overall I’m very happy with these, use them for my commute, walking and running sessions, and they stay in ear good, never fallen out. Great quality sound.

Best wireless noise cancelling earbuds I have used so far
I 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.

I ordered these, hoping they would work for me. But alas, with my small ears, they did not work. The small earbud tip was good, and got a decent fit, but the wing tip is huge, barely could be bent to ‘fit’ in my ear, and caused painful pressure after less than an hour. (if the wing tip was removeable, or also able to change for size, these would be perfect. But it is not.)the sound quality it stunning, and the ANC is amazing. When I put them in, I was sitting next to a noisy air conditioner, and because the design senses when they’re in your ear – even though I wasn’t ‘listening’ to anything – they immediately cut the noise. I was sitting in a silent room. Crazy cool. And shocking how well it works. I tested the other sound settings, the ‘transparent’, which yes, could listen to music and also hear everything going on around me; as well as the basic ‘off’, which was between the two and a good choice for some situations.So, I was super sad to return these due to fit. Highly recommend. Seamless instant pairing for iphone. Simple settings found under the bluetooth connection for them (a dedicated app, [or setting] would be nicer & easier to locate)The one drawback is the face of the earbud is a ‘button’. so anytime you try to adjust how the earbud is sitting in your ear (like because it’s not fitting right) you press the button. Turning music on/off, or whatever you have the button etc. to control. And at least you can change what it operates.

I’m on my third pair and still love them! I got my original pair (Sage grey) a number of years ago when they first came out and wore them out. When it was time to replace them (this spring) I chose the blue colour and loved them just as much! Unfortunately, one had an encounter with a door (it was crushed in the door jamb) and so my sweet partner bought me a new blue set for Christmas. Yes, they are expensive, but if they’re in your budget then I definitely recommend them.The only drawback: earbuds need the right fit and these do not fit everyone. I have small ears, so they do fit on the snug side – even with the smallest tips (that’s not really the part that makes the difference), and the rubber part that holds them in can sometimes be annoying if you’re wearing them for a long time.However, the sound quality is excellent! The Spatial Audio is so, so satisfying with these in my ears! The noise cancelling quality is excellent – sometimes I wear them with noise cancelling on, but without music, just to drown out the background noise! They are fantastic when using them on phone calls, and they pair so easily with my iPhone and with my tv. AND they. Don’t. Fall. Out. I am an avid runner and figure skater and I never worry about these falling out when I’m active.10/10 recommend. 10/10 would buy again. And again…and again.
