Introduction
Beats, the audio brand owned by Apple, has announced the Powerbeats Fit, an updated version of the Powerbeats Fit Pro released in late 2021. The headline improvement is a redesigned wingtip that is 20% more flexible, boosting comfort and stability during workouts. The charging case is 17% smaller than the previous generation, and the earbuds deliver up to 30 hours of total listening time with the case.
Design and Fit
Wingtip and stability
The new wingtip design aims to stay secure through runs, interval training, and other high-motion activities. Beats claims the revised wingtip provides stability on par with the Powerbeats Pro 2, but at a more approachable price point.
Colors
The Powerbeats Fit are offered in four colors: Jet Black, Gravel Gray, Power Pink, and Spark Orange, giving athletes a choice that fits their style while prioritizing performance.
Battery Life and Charging
On a single charge you can expect up to 7 hours of playback, with a combined total of 30 hours when using the charging case. Enabling active noise cancellation (ANC) reduces runtime to about 6 hours per charge and 24 hours with the case. Beats also includes Fast Fuel, providing roughly one additional hour of playback from a 5-minute charge.
Sound, Comfort and Smart Features
The Powerbeats Fit continue to use Apple’s H1 chip, rather than the newer H2, but they pack a strong feature set for sport use. Active Noise Cancellation and a Transparency mode let you tune how much crowd or gym ambience you hear. Spatial Audio with head tracking offers a more immersive listening experience, while Adaptive EQ automatically tunes the sound based on the environment and fit. Rounding out the audio experience are auto-pause when you remove the earbuds and automatic resume when you reinsert them.
Apple and Android App Experience
For iPhone and other Apple devices, the Beats app provides seamless pairing, iCloud device syncing, and Find My integration to locate lost buds. Android users get one-tap pairing through the Beats app, with customizable controls, a Fit Test, and workout-location features to help ensure a secure fit during exercise.
Availability and Pricing
Powerbeats Fit are priced at 200, making them a competitive option in the sport earbud market. They are available in four colors as noted above. In Israel, the model has not yet launched and local pricing is not announced yet.
Conclusion
With a redesigned wingtip for better stability, longer battery life, and sport-focused features at a approachable price, Powerbeats Fit positions Beats as a strong choice for athletes who want reliable wireless earphones that work well with Apple devices and Android alike.
