The earbud-curious who dont want to straytoofar from the Apple ecosystem also have Beats to choose from.
Apple makes Beats and AirPods with a lot of the same tech but how do they stack up?
Heres how they stack up.

Stylistically, the earbuds are pretty different.
The Beats Fit Pro case is substantially larger and slightly heavier.
In short, both earbuds can withstand all but the grimiest workouts.
AirPods Pro 2 also outperformed Beats with active noise canceling (ANC).
Both have it, but AirPods have four modes: Off, Transparency, Adaptive, and Noise Cancellation.
Beats lack the Adaptive mode, and the ANC on AirPods is more robust.
With a track playing at normal volume, background noise all but disappeared.
With the Beats Fit Pro, the background sound was audible, both with and without a track playing.
Theyre both compatible with Find My, allowing you to locate them if misplaced.
The Beats Fit Pro case also lacks wireless charging.
AirPods Pro 2 also offer newer features like hearing protection and hearing assistance.
On the other hand, Beats Android app is solid, emulating most of the features found on iPhone.
Design-wise, theres not much to say about AirPods theyre the same color and shape that theyve always been.
If you dont mind a familiar, anonymous design, that shouldnt be a problem.
The Beats Fit Pro is available in more colors, with an arguably more stylish design.
Theyre also a more secure design for workouts.
