If you often travel by air or need to use earbuds in noisy environments, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EQ with active noise cancelling and a good noise isolation quality will serve you well despite a higher price. For sports enthusiasts, the sweatproof and dustproof features of the Beats Fit Pro make it a suitable fit for exercise, and their lower price makes them budget-friendly. However, if you're an Apple device user seeking a seamless experience with lower latency and virtual surround sound, the Beats Fit Pro, powered by the H1 chip, are optimized for Apple devices and may be the better choice for you.

PC Mag

Tim Gideon | March 2022
"Bang & Olufsen’s audio products prioritize style and function just as much as sound quality. The company’s latest Beoplay EQ noise-cancelling true wireless earphones combine strong, accurate-leaning audio with solid noise cancellation in an exceedingly classy design."

Lili Katz | January 2024
"The Beats Fit Pro is just as easy to use with an Android device as it is with an iPhone. It seems Apple-owned Beats is trying to appeal to a wider market, and it works. The Fit Pro fits like a pro with the ear tip fit test and multiple ear tips. Sound quality is sure to please most athletes, but the Fit Pro is just at home in the office as it is in the gym. The main factor holding the Beats Fit Pro back from gold is the price."
