Frequently Asked Questions
How do you charge them?
To charge your Beats Fit Pro, place them in the charging case. When you need to charge both the earbuds and the case, place the earbuds in the case and connect the case to a power source with the USB-C cable that's included with your Beats Fit Pro. You can also charge the case without the earbuds. (Note: USB-C power adapter sold separately)..
How do you turn them on and off?
Beats Fit Pro automatically power on when they are removed from the case, and power off when placed back in the case with the lid closed.
Can you control your music?
Beats Fit Pro feature a multi-function ‘b’ button on each earbud. Press once to play or pause, twice to skip forward, or three times to skip backward. With optical sensors on each earbud, Beats Fit Pro will automatically play and pause your content when you put them in or remove from your ears
How do you control noise cancelling?
Press and hold the ‘b’ button down to toggle between Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency mode. You can also control listening modes, including Adaptive EQ (with ANC and Transparency off), and customize button setup within iOS or the Beats app for Android.
How do I improve the comfort, stability, and sound quality of your Beats Fit Pro?
BBeats earphones come with three sets of eartips - small, medium, and large. Medium eartips come attached to the product. Choose the pair that's most comfortable and provides the best sound experience for you. To select the correct eartip, first gently insert the earbud, with eartip affixed, into your ear. You can adjust the fit of the earbud until it feels secure. To remove the earbud from your ear, twist it gently and pull it away from your ear. The flexible wingtip is permanently attached to Beats Fit Pro and helps with earbud stability. Use your finger to slightly bend the wingtip and fit it into the upper portion of your ear. The wingtip, combined with the correct eartip, will provide a comfortable, secure fit which helps optimize sound performance.
How do I activate Siri or other voice assistants?
On Apple devices, you can activate Siri hands-free just by saying “Hey Siri”. Or, change the function of the ‘b’ button to activate your voice assistant within your iOS settings. On Android, download the Beats app to change the press and hold function of the ‘b’ button to activate the default voice assistant on your device. Voice assistant access via the ‘b’ button can be customized on one or both of your earbuds.
How do I configure the multi-function ‘b’ button?
You can configure the press and hold function of the ‘b’ button to either toggle ANC modes or activate voice assistant on one or both of your earbuds. Alternatively, you can customize the ‘b’ button to manage volume controls with volume down on the left earbud and volume up on the right earbud. To do this in iOS, tap on the product icon in Control Center and select the “Press and hold” menu to choose your preferred function for each earbud. To do this on Android, download the Beats app from Google Play or directly from beatsbydre.com. Once your product is paired in the app, select the “Press and hold” menu in the product page to choose your preferred function for each earbud..
How long does the battery last?
Beats Fit Pro can provide up to 6 hours of listening time with ANC or Transparency turned on, or up to 5 hours of listening time with ANC turned on. The case holds around three additional charges for a combined total of 27 hours with ANC on. In Adaptive EQ mode, the earbuds offer 7 hours of listening time and up to 30 hours total when combined with the charging case.
Do they have a microphone?
Each Beats Fit Pro earbud has three total microphones, enabling high-quality call performance as well as ANC and Transparency performance. During phone calls, all three microphones are active to optimize conversations when using one earbud, and five microphones are active when using both earbuds.
How do I pair with my iPhone?
Beats Fit Pro are ready to pair right out of the box. On iPhone running the latest iOS, simply open the lid of the case with earbuds seated in the case, hold near unlocked phone, and follow on-screen instructions.
How do I pair with my Android device?
With the Beats app running, simply open the lid of the case with earbuds seated in the case, hold near unlocked phone, and follow on-screen instructions. You can also pair your product in the standard Bluetooth menu. To download the Beats app, visit the Google Play store or download directly from beatsbydre.com.
How do I pair with my Mac or with another device that uses Bluetooth?
Make sure that you turned on Bluetooth on your Mac or other device. With the case lid open and earbuds seated in the case, hold your Beats Fit Pro next to your Mac or other device. Press and hold the button on the inside of the charging case until the LED on the front of the case blinks white. Open the Bluetooth menu on your Mac or other device. For example, on your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. In the list of discovered Bluetooth devices, tap or click your Beats Fit Pro.
How do I pair with additional Bluetooth devices?
To pair to additional devices, with the earbuds in the case and lid open, press the button inside the case until the LED begins to blink white. Beats Fit Pro are now in pairing mode and can be paired to any standard Bluetooth device.
Can I wear just one earbud?
Yes, you can use either earbud independently.
How waterproof / water resistant are these?
Beats Fit Pro are rated IPX4, which means they are resistant to sweat and water splashing from any direction. The case is not sweat- or water-resistant.
How do I keep my product up to date?
Software updates will occasionally be made available to enable new features or improve the product experience. These ‘silent’ updates are automatically enabled when connected to an Apple device. To stay up to date on an Android device, download the Beats app from Google Play or directly from beatsbydre.com.
What is spatial audio and how do find content that takes advantage of this feature?
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking provides an immersive, theater-like experience for compatible content, including Dolby Atmos. Beats Fit Pro leverages gyroscopes and accelerometers in the earbuds and your iPhone or iPad, then tracks the movement of your head and your device so sound stays anchored to your device, regardless of how your head moves, creating a dynamic, multi-dimensional experience. Beats Fit Pro also automatically plays spatial audio content available in Apple Music, which also works with Android.
What devices and content can I use the head tracking feature with?
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking requires iPhone or iPad and works with compatible content in supported apps. Spatial audio is also compatible with Apple TV 4K with the latest version of tvOS.

After doing some research on the top recommended workout focused true wireless earbuds, it came down to the Beats Fit Pro and the Beats Studio Buds.
Ultimately I decided on the more expensive of the two, thinking it would be worth the extra cost. I got them on a sale that was running here which makes it even better. My use case for them would be for gym workouts such as jogging/walking and lifting, and also for casual use at work and home.
I’ve had this pair for a little over 1 year and 6 months. I have purchased Apple care + for them but have not had to use it.
EXPERIENCE:
The sound on these, personally, is really enjoyable! The noise cancelling and transparency mode work so well.
If I’m at the gym and don’t want to hear the other people making noise with their machines or the running of treadmills? Turn on noise cancelling and have music on. In a snap, the outside noises seem to be gone.
At work and don’t want to miss a phone call?
Turn on transparency mode and you’re free to hear sounds around you. Even better with just one earbud in, too.
The mic quality on calls seems to be passable, people seem to hear me fine.
*Small note: there is a tiny rip in the silicone/plastic on the right bud’s button near the bottom. I suspect this is from wearing them when going to bed sometimes. I usually wake up and find them out of my ears. There are times where they’re still in my ears, but I tend to move around during when asleep.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
I really like the wing tips on the earbuds, they stay in my ears perfectly. Sure, there was some soreness in my ears in the beginning, but my ears got used to it pretty fast. Also, the ear tip size helps a lot. Make sure you try all the included sizes to really figure out which one is most comfortable.
There is definitely a learning curve on inserting the earbuds into your ears. Once you get the method of inserting them smoothly and creating the right seal, they are more enjoyable. Look at one of the animations in the earbud’s description for reference.
Plus, the sage grey colorway just looks dope. Wish there was a lava red colorway available like the Powerbeats Pro.
These work great with my iPhone and connected to my PC. Can’t speak for performance on an Android device. I am perfectly happy with this purchase!

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.

- Fantastic bass heavy sound signature!
- will never fall out of your ears
- very great every day usability
- perfect for working out/ running
- super attractive looking
Cons
- The case is very cheap and flimsy feeling ( the lid is a bit loose and will scratch easy)
- the case charges the earbuds weirdly unevenly (Raised reliably concerns)
- the price
**Overall great buy if u get it when discounted. Not worth full price.
**if u are looking for THEE most bass heavy earbud option for working out, the SoundCore sport X10 and sport X20 are what you need. Plus they are much more affordable if u can get over not having the beats name.
Top reviews from other countries
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.
Bom sistema de fixação
Razoável Sistema de cancelamento de ruído
Deveria ter um aplicativo com mais funções
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.
Positives:
- Stability and fit (I have run indoors and outdoors along with doing workout in gym - stayed in without slippage)
- Good Battery life (so far, just charged once in last two weeks - been using daily up to 1-2 hrs and it is working ok!)
- Sound Quality - pretty good
Cons
- Not as noise cancelling in the noise cancelling mode (as compared to my previous JBL ones)
Overall, I think it has been a great purchase so far.
