A SMALL, WELCOME STEP UP FROM THE OG’s
I have gone through over 80 earbuds and presently own about 45. I know, it’s an illness. I’ve also owned every iteration of Apple and Beats earbuds. As compared to the Fit Pro, the Powerbeats Fit are a small step up. Let me detail:- TRANSPARENCY and ANC: while still relying on the H1 chip, I did notice the slightest improvement on noise cancellation and transparency as compared to the original. However, the Powerbeats Pro 2 step it up a notch and the AirPods Pro 3 are truly next level.- FIT and COMFORT: to me, the softer, redesigned earfin locks even better in my ear and is way more comfortable than the rather stiff earfin of the originals. Would have been nice to shrink the buds just a touch, but I’ll take what I can get. The smaller case is a welcome addition. Wireless charging like the Powerbeats Pro 2 would have been nice.- AUDIO QUALITY: ok, so most reviewers are not noticing a difference here. I can attest that there is a little more spaciousness and room in the sound, and just a touch more punch in the bass area, again comparing to the originals. It may be closer to the Studio Buds+, which I think sound pretty decent. These seem a little more dynamic and energetic in tone. What I do like, over the Powerbeats Pro 2 is that these do not overdo it with the upper-mids/lower-highs, which was way overdone in that model. I returned those in that account. Any bass presence was overpowered by those harsh upper-mids. These have tamed that down a little. Good move.- WISHLIST: Beats, if you are listening, please give us an EQ!!! Would love to tinker with the sound, as everyone’s signature preference is different. Would love to see some kind of dynamic bass slider like the CMF/Oneplus models have. Please 🙏🙏🙏In the meantime, I’ll be keeping my Powerbeats Fit, content that these incremental changes have been made! 🤘
