DESIGN & AESTHETICS (you can rank them. I won’t) Solo No battery in the case at all Super small and lightweight 18 hrs in the buds! Studio+ Essentially the same design Transparent case looks awesome No wireless charging Fit Pro I love these May not be perfect in all ears I have no major fatigue but some might No wireless charging Powerbeats Pro Feel like they could fall out but they never do Most versatile in the most ears Can interfere with glasses or potentially hats? Largest case Wireless charging Heart rate sensor! CONTROLS *Talk through these* No auto play/pause on solo buds or studio buds+ (standard features missing!) ANC TEST 1 - Jet sounds No ANC on solo buds ANC TEST 2 - High voice intelligibility ANC in a quiet environment - TRANSPARENCY No transparency on solo buds MIC TEST SOUND SOLO BUDS - Surprisingly less bass - a much more neutral balance than older beats products vocals get buried or at least the higher ones do Thin and even lack details I could be wrong but it sounds like there is an emphasis on lower mids up to around 600hz, then vocals above that get eclipsed I want more fullness Studio buds plus - Clean bass with little distortion Way less brassy than older beats Lacking detail Cymbals are mushy Instrument separation could be improved Vocals are less rich I may have even turn the bass up a little Fit Pro Powerbeats Pro - No hifi codecs Apple vision Pro lossless - but I feel like these may interfere with AVP headset Sound is actually quite good for simpler songs without a lot going on. Pretty decent balance. Bass is more capable than the airpods in my opinion while not overwhelming. Lower fidelity Not the best spatial reproduction of sound. Instrument separation in general has me turning the volume up to hear everything in the song Bass could be tighter and overall sound is a little more congested than I would like Pretty balanced and powerful. They get much louder than I would ever use Some people are more bass-heads so I think an EQ would be nice to lift the bass or have a more v-shaped EQ for workouts. Not seeing an EQ in the app, no app for iOS at all I would say these are just fine as far as audio goes for most people working out. I think these sound a bit better on iPhone Bluetooth 5.3 Personalized spatial audio - compatible with apple spatial audio FEATURES - show each app H1 chip on fit pro H2 chip on powerbeats pro but lacking some of the airpods features like hearing suite, conversation awareness, or precision finding DURABILITY Water resistance IPX4 on all besides solo buds BATTERY LIFE Powerbeats pro - 10/45hr Solo buds - 18 hr Studio buds plus - 6/24
