The Beats Fit Pro is actually a very underrated set of earbuds. If you don't need the cachet of the AirPods Pro, they're a great deal.
Yup. I absolutely love my BFP. Although I may quibble that they're "underrated" because they are pretty widely praised by their users. But I totally get what you're saying.
Also, anyone looking for this on Amazon Canada be careful - the discounts for the various Beats products all appear to be "buy used" and not new.
If Dre and Jimmy aren’t involved anymore what’s even the point of Beats still being a thing? I haven’t seen any in the wild in a long time. At one point they were everywhere. It’s another brand that Apple bought and made boring. The colors are bland. The product cycles are dragged out. Perfect opportunity to make some really cool headphones aimed at basement producers and people that love specific music. Instead they just are milking the brand until it’s dead and they have converted everyone to AirPods. Such a waste of a brand that had bigger potential. Why go to the trouble of keeping it around only to let it stagnate? It’s really a shame.
