Beats may sit under Apple’s umbrella, but the brand isn’t just an AirPods knockoff. Apple has carved out distinct lanes: AirPods Pro dominate with a clean, minimalist appeal, while Beats earbuds lean harder into fitness, style, and bass-driven performance. The new Powerbeats Fit True Wireless earbuds push that overlap even further, bringing Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos and Dynamic Head Tracking—the same headlining features Apple flaunts with the AirPods Pro 3—straight into the fight for your ears.
Fitness-first Earbuds
Continuing Apple’s wireless earbud strategy, Beats has introduced the Powerbeats Fit, the next evolution of the popular Beats Fit Pro from 2021 and the newest addition to the bestselling Powerbeats family. The Powerbeats Fit brings enhanced durability and improved in-ear comfort with redesigned wingtips, offering the same level of stability as the earhooks on the recently released Powerbeats Pro 2.
“Reintroducing Beats Fit Pro as Powerbeats Fit — alongside Powerbeats Pro 2 — unifies our lineup under a name synonymous with athletic performance and gives customers a clearer choice between two distinct, fitness-first form factors. Powerbeats Fit combines the best of Beats Fit Pro with next-level comfort, durability, and portability, making it a worthy addition to the Powerbeats family.” — Oliver Schusser, Vice President of Music, Sports, and Beats at Apple
Fit Comfort & Design
The most important factor with wireless earbuds is comfort—if they don’t fit properly, you won’t wear them. With that in mind, the Powerbeats Fit uses redesigned wingtips that rest gently in the ear, delivering all-day comfort and the stability needed for intense sports and fitness activities. To ensure the best fit, the Powerbeats Fit comes with four ear tip sizes—extra-small, small, medium, and large—and includes an Ear Tip Fit Test available for both iOS and Android users.
Sound Quality: Custom Acoustic Platform with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos
The Powerbeats Fit is built around a custom acoustic platform powered by proprietary 9.5mm acoustic drivers, delivering the signature Beats sound with a strong balance across the full audio spectrum. The result is powerful, dynamic audio that works just as well for workouts as it does for everyday listening.
Adding to the experience, the Powerbeats Fit supports Personalized Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos and Dynamic Head Tracking, creating an immersive environment for music, movies, and gaming.

Adaptive EQ, Active Noise Cancelling, and Transparency Mode
The Powerbeats Fit features Adaptive EQ, which automatically adjusts sound based on the fit and seal of each earbud. Using advanced microphones, the system measures what the listener hears in real time and fine-tunes audio output for a more personalized experience.
For added versatility, Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) reduces unwanted external sounds, creating a more focused listening environment, while Transparency Mode allows users to stay aware of their surroundings when needed.
Connectivity: Apple H1 Chip, Bluetooth, and Android App Support
The Powerbeats Fit delivers reliable Class 1 Bluetooth connectivity, offering extended wireless range for music, calls, and seamless integration with features like FaceTime, Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, and Siri. Dual beam-forming microphones, paired with an internal processor, help reduce external noise such as wind for clearer phone calls.
For Android users (Android 13 or newer), the Beats App enables one-touch pairing, customizable controls, battery status monitoring, Locate My Beats, and a Fit Test for selecting the best ear tip size.
For Apple users, the Powerbeats Fit incorporates the Apple H1 chip, unlocking Automatic Switching between devices, Audio Sharing, hands-free “Hey Siri,” Find My support, and more.
Pro Tip: Siri availability and features may vary depending on language and region.
Controls: Easy On-Ear Navigation for Music, Calls, and Voice Assistant
The Powerbeats Fit features intuitive on-device controls, allowing users to manage music playback, adjust volume, switch between listening modes, handle phone calls, and activate their voice assistant without needing to reach for their device.
Powerbeats Fit Battery Life and Charging: Long-Lasting Playback with Fast Fuel
The Powerbeats Fit provides up to 30 hours of total battery life with the included charging case, while each earbud delivers up to 7 hours of playback per charge. With Fast Fuel technology, a quick 5-minute charge gives up to an hour of listening.
The redesigned charging case is 17% smaller than the Beats Fit Pro case and features sweat- and water-resistance with an IPX4 rating, making it ideal for workouts and on-the-go use.

The Bottom Line
The Powerbeats Fit stands out in a crowded wireless earbud market thanks to its focus on comfort, stability, and fitness-friendly design. Redesigned wing-tip earbuds provide a secure fit for active lifestyles, while the custom acoustic platform, 9.5mm drivers, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, and Dynamic Head Tracking deliver immersive sound.
Adaptive EQ, ANC, and Transparency mode add versatility for any environment, and Class 1 Bluetooth connectivity with Apple H1 or Android app support ensures seamless pairing and device integration.
The main trade-off is the absence of a heart rate monitor, a feature found on the pricier Powerbeats Pro 2, though the Powerbeats Fit comes in at $50 less. Overall, they offer a strong, reliable option for active users—but with so many alternatives, including Apple’s AirPods Pro 3, standing out will depend on how much value listeners place on comfort, durability, and immersive audio features.
