Beats Launches Powerbeats Fit With ANC, 3D Audio and Smaller Case

Successor to Beats Fit Pro targets sport use with ear-wings, IPX4 protection, a compact charging case.

Overview

  • Preorders open today at €229.95 via Apple’s online store, with retail availability set for October 2 in black, grey, orange and pink.
  • Features include active noise cancellation, a Transparency mode, personalized 3D audio with head tracking for Dolby Atmos content, adaptive EQ and 9.5 mm drivers.
  • Battery is rated up to seven hours per earbud without ANC and up to 30 hours with the case, with a five‑minute quick charge yielding about one hour of playback and USB‑C case charging.
  • Both earbuds and case carry IPX4 water and sweat resistance, and the case is claimed to be 17% smaller than the Beats Fit Pro’s for improved portability.
  • Apple’s H1 chip enables iOS perks such as auto‑switching, Audio Sharing, hands‑free Siri and Find My, while Android users get fast pairing and controls in the Beats app; mic specifications reported by outlets conflict and await clarification.
