Apple today unveiled third-generation AirPods with a similar design as the AirPods Pro and several new features, but those likely aren't the only new headphones launching soon, as MacRumors contributor Steve Moser has found images of unreleased Beats Fit Pro earbuds in the iOS 15.1 Release Candidate seeded earlier today.
The images reveal that the Beats Fit Pro will look similar to the Beats Studio Buds that were unveiled back in June, with the new headphones appearing to feature a completely wireless in-ear design with tiny earhooks.
The images also show that the Beats Fit Pro will be available in at least four colors, including a white, black, gray, and pink, and iOS 15.1 beta code indicates the headphones will have both Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode.
According to 9to5Mac's Filipe Espósito, the Beats Fit Pro will be announced around November 1 and shipments will begin within a few days after that.

As someone who is VERY active in sports, I prefer the over the ear style of the powerbeats pros. Apple airpods both pro & non pro do not stay in my ears… and even these powerbeat fit pros look iffy. Plus the battery in my powerbeat pros last forever AND I love the physical buttons.
- AirPods won't stay in my ears while walking. - AirPods Pros are secure for everything BUT workouts. They would fall out for running or anything similar almost immediately. - Powerbeats Pro is ROCK solid during ANY workout but is MUCH larger than all the rest, with a huge case that has charging issues over time. No active noise reduction. - Beats Studio Buds have been shockingly amazing... small buds, "cheap" compared to the rest, equal in sound to AirPods Pro with decent (but not class leading) active noise reduction and SHOCKINGLY stay in my ears VERY well, including runs. Couldn't do non-steady state sports with them however, anything too jarring and they could pop out. The don't have an H1 chip which has some annoyances but the small light size is worth it.
These new Fit Pro headphones look EXACTLY like the excellent Studio Buds BUT with an in ear hook (that i've used in the past to make AirPods stay in, they work great) that should make them the near equal of Powerbeats Pro but without the extreme size. The fact they have ANR and the H1 chip should make them more like the AirPods in "nice" to have features compared to Studio Buds. This might be a GREAT option for you to get something smaller, lighter, and with ANR compared to the Powerbeats Pro.

I run with airpod pros and studio buds and neither fall out. If they are falling out as you walk you either 1. have the wrong sized tips in or 2. have the most vigorous walks around that shake them from your ears.
You are lucky to have the right size ear canals! I used Airpod and Airpod Pros with all the size attachements, no luck, all fallout while walking. Many people’s earbuds fallout too! Just have to find the right model for you!
