There’s no shortage of wireless earbuds out there, but if you’re after strong noise cancellation, bass-heavy sound, full iOS compatibility, and a fit that won’t budge during a workout, you should consider the Beats Fit Pro, and this open-box deal on StackSocial drops the price to $99.99 from the usual $199.99. The sale includes all four color options—white, black, gray, and purple.
The “open box” tag just means they’ve likely been handled but not used, and they’ve been inspected to make sure they’re still in new condition. They’re rated IPX4 for water resistance, so sweat and light rain aren’t a problem, though the case itself isn’t protected and doesn’t support wireless charging. Battery life is around six hours with ANC on and another 18 to 23 hours from the case, depending on how you use them.
Sound-wise, these lean hard into bass, which some folks will love and others might find a bit much. The low end hits especially well at high volumes without distortion, which makes them great for hip-hop, pop or EDM, notes this PCMag review. The downside is that there’s no customizable EQ, so if you’re not into that sculpted sound, you can’t do much about it. The noise cancellation holds up pretty well for things like plane rumbles and low-frequency distractions, but don’t expect total silence in a noisy café (higher-pitched noises still leak through). There’s also a decent Transparency Mode that lets in just enough outside sound for you to cross the street or chat with someone without pulling out an earbud. Android users do get access to most core features through the Beats app, but some perks like automatic switching, hands-free Siri, and Spatial Audio are still iOS-only. Getting all that for half off isn’t a bad deal.
