Time and again we see that Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro wireless earbuds regularly get discounts and offers. In general, if you’re looking to buy a pair of true wireless earbuds – with or without active noise cancellation – you should be able to find a deal somewhere. One holdout that has been elusive until now has been the Beats Fit Pro. These latest models from Apple-owned Beats came out in late 2021 and surprised us with how good they are — even beating the AirPods Pro in sound quality. They’ve kept their $199.99 price point the whole time, but now they’re finally seeing a discount of about $50.
Today you can pick up the Beats Fit Pro from Amazon and Walmart. Amazon has both black and white colorways for $153.11 (add it to your cart to see the price), while Walmart has the black model for the same price. Walmart also has the white model on sale, but the discount is not that big. The funky gray and purple colors remain at full price, but nothing beats black and white in popularity.
In our review of the Beats Fit Pro, Chris Welch found the wingtips to be comfortable during long listening sessions — and offer a more secure fit than the AirPods Pro. The sound quality is excellent and the active noise cancellation and transparency mode are of the same caliber that you expect from Apple and the AirPods Pro. The biggest caveats to these earbuds are their more limited functionality with Android phones and their lack of wireless charging. You have to connect the case via USB-C, which is nice to have instead of a Lightning port. At this discounted price, it’s easier to overlook these flaws, and if you use Apple products, you get all the comforts of the H1 chip and deeper OS integration and connectivity.
