For a little while last year, there were rumours that Apple was going to quietly kick its Beats branded audio products into the long grass. It answered those rumours with first the Beats Studio Buds (MF369) and now the Beats Fit Pro – arguably the best earbuds Beats has ever made.

Costing £39 and a penny less than the Apple AirPods Pro at £199.99, the Beats Fit Pro match Apple’s earbuds almost feature for feature. You get Apple’s H1 chip, Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), Find My and Siri support, plus Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking. They also boast longer battery life with the Beats Fit Pro lasting for up to six hours between recharges with ANC on (the AirPods Pro lasts five) and seven hours with ANC off. The supplied charging case adds another 18 hours but where the AirPods Pro case offers wireless charging, the Beats Fit Pro use USB-C charging via the very short included cable instead.
