Beats announced its new Powerbeats Fit earbuds today (September 30), bringing an expansion to the Powerbeats lineup. The new earbuds are both a rebranding and a slight redesign of the Beats Fit Pro buds.
Acting as a more affordable option compared to the Powerbeats Pro 2, the Fit features a redesigned wingtip and a slightly smaller charging case. The buds come in four colors: Jet Black, Gravel Gray, Spark Orange, and Power Pink.
As the more affordable version of the Pro 2, it does lack some of the features from those buds, like the heart rate sensor.
We saw these buds leaked at the start of September, and much of what appeared then seems to have made it into the final product, including 30 hours of battery life.
“Powerbeats Fit combines the best of Beats Fit Pro with next-level comfort, durability, and portability, making it a worthy addition to the Powerbeats family,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Music, Sports, and Beats, in a press release.
According to Beats, the redesigned wingtips are meant to fit securely in your ear while still being comfortable. The buds also feature an IPX4 sweat and water resistance.
Here's a quick breakdown of the features in the Powerbeats Fit.
- Powered by the Apple H1 chip
- Active Noise Cancelling
- IPX4 sweat and water resistance
- Up to 30 hours of battery life
- 7 hours per bud on one charge
- Transparency mode
- Adaptive EQ
- Personalized Spatial Audio
- Four ear tip sizes
The Apple H1 chip pairs with iOS 26 out of the box, including auto switching between devices, hands-free Siri, Find My, and more. Android owners can use the Beats app for "one-touch pairing," EQ controls, and Locate My Beats features.
Beats claims up to 30 hours with the charging case, with each bud getting up to 7 hours of playback per charge. The case should get you up to an hour of playback time in 5 minutes.
Starting today, you can pick up a pair for $199.99 from Apple.com. That's the same price as the Beats Fit Pro at launch, though those older earbuds can be found closer to $100 currently. For comparison, the Powerbeats Pro 2 start at $249.99.
