New Powerbeats Fit Launch: The Successor to Beats Fit Pro Unveiled!

A month after revealing initial images of their Powerbeats Fit, Apple has now officially launched these new wireless earbuds, which are the successors to the 2021 Beats Fit Pro. Since acquiring Beats in 2014, Apple has continued to offer a variety of headphones and earbuds under the Beats brand that provide alternative designs to the AirPods. The Powerbeats Fit feature a small rubber hook designed to secure the earbuds in place during physical activities. Notably, Beats has redesigned this hook to be 20% more flexible than that of the Beats Fit Pro, aiming to enhance fit for a broader range of users.

The earbuds come equipped with Apple’s H1 chip, which allows for features like single-gesture pairing, seamless switching between devices, audio sharing, access to Siri, and the Find My function, along with active noise cancellation that includes a Transparency mode and personalized spatial audio. Both the earbuds and their case, which is 17% smaller than the previous model, are IPX4 certified, making them resistant to water and sweat. The earbuds themselves have a battery life of seven hours, which can be extended up to 30 hours with the charging case. The case also supports fast charging, providing one hour of playback from just five minutes of charging.

Available in four colors—obsidian black, granite gray, turbo orange, and neon pink—the Powerbeats Fit are priced at €229.95 on the Apple Store and are expected to soon be available through various official retailers. At this price point, they compete with both the newly released AirPods Pro 3 priced at €249 and the Powerbeats Pro 2, which are priced at €299 and offer an ear hook design, longer battery life, and a heart rate sensor.
