Beats Unveils Powerbeats Fit: Enhanced Comfort, Compact Design, and Priced Below €230
Beats (under Apple) has announced a new pair of sport-oriented earbuds: the Powerbeats Fit. Direct successors to the Beats Fit Pro released in late 2021, these earbuds emphasize a new wing design that is 20% softer, providing greater comfort while ensuring a secure fit, even during the most intense workouts.
Available now on the Apple Store for €229.95, the Powerbeats Fit comes in four colors: Obsidian, Granite Gray, Neon Pink, and Turbo Orange (a nod to the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro).
What’s New with Powerbeats Fit?
- Redesigned Ear Hooks: More flexible, promising the same stability as the Powerbeats Pro 2 ear hooks without adding bulk.
- Reduced Case Size by 17%: Easier to slip into your pocket without sacrificing battery life.
- Battery Life: 7 hours of playback (6 hours with ANC enabled), up to 30 hours with the case. Fast charging: 5 minutes = 1 hour of playback.
- Audio: ANC, Transparency mode, Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, Adaptive EQ.
- Durability: IPX4 certification against sweat and splashes.
Integration for Apple & Android
The Powerbeats Fit utilizes the Apple H1 chip (not the H2 of the AirPods Pro 3) but still offers all the features expected on iOS:
- Instant pairing,
- Hands-free Siri commands,
- Audio sharing,
- Tracking via Find My.
And true to its Beats identity, Android users are not overlooked: the Beats app allows for quick pairing, command customization, a Fit Test to find the right ear tips, and locating the earbuds.
Focus on Comfort and Versatility
Each pair comes with four sizes of ear tips (XS, S, M, L), and the dual beamforming microphones promise better call quality, even outdoors.
In summary, the Powerbeats Fit do not revolutionize the Fit Pro formula but refine comfort and portability—positioning themselves as a solid alternative to the AirPods Pro 3 at a lower price, without sacrificing Android compatibility.
The Powerbeats Fit are already available for purchase and will begin shipping on October 2nd.
