Their flexible wingtip design is somewhat unique, seemingly helping to keep the buds comfortable in your ears for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>Whether that\u2019s true remains to be seen, but we will be reviewing the earbuds in the coming days so be sure to stick with <strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong> for the verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the internals, specifically Apple\u2019s H1 chip, the Beats Fit Pro earbuds have many \u2013 but not all \u2013 features offered by AirPods Pro, at least for iOS users.<\/p>\n<p>Those features include spatial audio, access to the Siri voice helper and the use of the \u201cFind My\u201d app on iOS devices to locate the buds if they go missing. However, these are not an iOS-only set of earbuds, and anyone with an Android device can access features like one-touch pairing and customisable controls via the Beats app. Unlike the AirPods Pro, the Beats Fit Pro won\u2019t have any Apple <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/technology-guides\/what-is-magsafe\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">MagSafe<\/a> capabilities.<\/p> <p>One of the selling points for all buyers will be active noise cancellation (ANC), which limits the sounds of the outside world when the earbuds are being used. There is also an extra transparency mode that won\u2019t block out just as much noise.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of battery life, Beats has said that you can expect up to six hours of listening time with ANC or transparency modes turned on. That will increase up to 27 hours of listening time when paired with the carrying case, which charges via USB-C.<\/p>\n<p>The Beats Fit Pro are IPX4-rated sweat and water-resistant earbuds and will come in four different colour options in the UK at launch: black, white, grey and purple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the latest news, reviews, guides, and deals, check out the RadioTimes.com <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/&quot;\">Technology<\/a> section and consider signing up to receive our <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/technology-newsletter\/&quot;\">tech newsletter<\/a>.
