A pair of best-selling noise-cancelling earbuds designed by Apple have plummeted by £85 in the latest Amazon sale ...but these are not the AirPods Pro.
Instead, the Beats Fit Pro have been cut to just £134.99 – an impressive drop from their usual £219.99 price tag.
In May 2014, Apple acquired Beats for $3 billion (£2.3bn), integrating its audio expertise and music streaming service into Apple’s ecosystem. Under Apple, Beats evolved with improved hardware, seamless iOS integration, and spatial audio, yet ceded its flagship status to AirPods Max.

Apple has launched several Beats-branded products in recent years, many of which are focused on the fitness space. Unlike AirPods, Beats 'buds offer a speedy pairing process with both iPhone and Android. Inside, the Beats Fit Pro are equipped with the same Apple H1 chipset that enables automatic switching between devices, audio sharing with another pair of Beats headphones or Apple AirPods, and hands-free “Hey Siri” voice commands.

If you own an Android device, you'll just need to launch the Beats app, open the lid of the case with the earbuds seated in the case — and follow the on-screen instructions for one-tap pairing.
Android users enjoy other AirPod-like features, including ear tip fit testis, battery status monitoring, and customisable controls. Beats Fit Pro arrive with a sweat and water-resistant (IPX4-rated) design, so you won't need to worry about being caught out in the rain or working up a sweat in the gym.

The Beats Fit Pro come equipped with active noise cancellation technology that effectively dampens down traffic and crowd noise to a distant murmur — allowing you to focus on your music, audiobook, or podcast. It should enable you to keep volume levels lower throughout the day too.
Apple has included its Transparency mode, introduced with the AirPods, which ensures you're still aware of your surroundings, and personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive listening experience.
Sound quality is described as "lively and enjoyable" by What Hi-Fi?, who awarded them 4 out of 5 stars for sound performance. The earbuds deliver clear vocals and well-defined basslines without overpowering the overall balance.
Unlike AirPods, the Beats Fit Pro features flexible wingtips that tuck securely into your ear. This design ensures they stay firmly in place during intense workouts or runs without feeling uncomfortable.
Apple claims up to six hours of listening time with noise cancellation activated, which extends to 24 hours when using the carry case to top-up the battery throughout the day. The Fast Fuel feature provides an hour of playback after just five minutes plugged into the mains — perfect whenever you're running low.
Controls are button-based rather than touch-sensitive, which should be more reliable during workouts. You can press the earbuds where the 'b' icon is located to control music playback, while a longer press switches between ANC and Transparency modes.
Unlike some competitors, the Beats Fit Pro allow for volume control directly from the earbuds – a feature missing from both the Beats Studio Buds and AirPods Pro. The earbuds automatically pause music when removed from your ears, resuming playback when reinserted.
Beats Fit Pro ship with a colour-matched case that tops up the battery whenever the Bluetooth 'buds are not in-use. In total, Apple says listeners will be able to enjoy 24-hours of listening time between charging

The Beats Fit Pro are available in several colours, including Sage Gray, Beats White, Beats Black, Stone Purple, and Coral Pink. Amazon currently offers the biggest discount on the Sage Gray and Beats White colourways. Coral Pink and Beats Black are a little more expensive at £144.99.
For comparison, the entry-level AirPods 4 are currently selling for £129 on Amazon, while those who want noise-cancellation will need to plump for either the AirPods 4 with ANC for £169 or AirPods Pro 2 for £229.
