Beats Fit Pro vs AirPods 3 vs Jabra Elite 85t - A Runner's Review

[@rolins3279]

I have the impression that the sound recording during the microphone test was not done by the different earbuds but by the smartphone🤔.

Would interested to see how you feel Beats Pro compare to the Jaybird Vistas. I have been using the Jaybird (version 1) and love them.

[@jpod]

My Jaybird's died and I didn't look back after getting the Jabra elite 75t, hear through audio (transparency mode) is a must for an urban runner, could never go back

[@maikelmetzker]

@@jpod Same here!

[@da3726]

The review I was looking for. Excellent as always. I had the same issues mentioned with my Powerbeats Pro so invested in the BFP. New (and unfit) runner here. Hope the transparency mode is loud enough for me to dodge traffic on city streets

[@alfredobarlanjr9791]

Great review. Most important thing for people to realize is, it all depends on the shape of your ears. I had the beats fit pro and they were no where near as quiet or loud as the AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro fit my ear better where as the beats fit pro were too small for me. I returned the beats and have been using my AirPods Pro for now. Hopefully apple updates them with better battery life.

[@kubadon1]

Hey, I bought 85t and beats for pro and I decided to try them out and return one. In heavily favouring the beats. On iPhone, the sound is much better, I think you didn’t mention spacial audio. It makes a huge difference. I think the Jabras favor my Samsung tho.

[@sandzwitthelocs]

I completely appreciate this review as I’m about to go into the store now. This was super thorough and exactly what I needed. Answered every question I still had from other reviews THANK YOU!

[@AllahMerciful1030]

Thank you for the review, i think mic samples didn't record correctly, i can tell by the distance of your voice from the iphone's mic hence all samples was recorded by your iPhone 11 pro mic not from the earbuds mic. So, it would be so helpful if you re-test the mic quality. Thank you.

[@clingenpeelc]

My original power beats finally stopped working…just bought the Power Beats Pro and went through two sets in less than a month with charging issues that everyone described. I am a huge sweater in the summer, and run and ride. Really wanted a over the ear design, as I’d hate to drop an expensive earbud while riding my bike. Wish this review wasn’t in the winter time in Chicago. I’m most concerned with the ability to stay put with heavy sweat and riding and running, including rough trail running. Not sure what I’m going to get now.

[@Shanarai]

I’m thinking of buying my first wireless earbuds and it looks like both the Jabra Elite 85t and Beats Fit Pro are good. But since I’m using mine mainly for jogging, I may just buy the Beats Fit Pro😄

[@kofuzi]

Hope you enjoy. Happy running!

[@HectorDavide]

wouldn’t be the Airpods Pro the…proper comparative ones from apple?

[@AlexYSYim]

Thanks for the good review. I also face same experience about my Powerbeats Pro. Everytime I want to take out my ear-piece from the huge case, always one earbud is not charging or only 4% charging. So annoying!

[@erikrose4114]

do they ever fall out when running? how secure are they compared to power beats?

[@LuisBecerra79]

I don’t like to run with headphones anymore, but I still have the AirPods working. But is good to know other brands give you better battery life.

[@BabaDeyTri]

Had the same issue in my power beats. Think it was a general issue with them. Thanks for noting the issue.

[@BreakingAmerican]

Why hate on white color, if you drop those black ones in a field or in grass by a side walk, GOOD LUCK finding it, white would stand out more. Just a thought from someone who actually goes outside.

[@MrDfromjersey]

I’ve got weird ears and every bud I’ve used (air pod, air pod pros, Alexa buds gen 1&2) all fall out of my ear. Even just working in an office they’ll fall out. I bought the beat fit pros and they do not come out even working out. The only time they’ve fallen out is when I slept with them on and rolled over a few times. Sound quality is comparable to all the other buds are pretty full of bass but my main issue was fit. If you want buds that do not fall out get the fit pros.

[@toby6791547]

Just purchased Jaybird Vista 2, do not like hearing the thud of every footstep (going to return them). Do Jabra (and others) have similar effect???

[@cheekster777]

Nice trim, Mike! 💇

[@kofuzi]

thanks! I'm still getting used to it

[@kiryu96]

You're the realest one talking about the Beats Fit Pro,these have no bass and it is focused on the treble,I winded up getting these cause people false advertised these as crazy bass,I almost thought I got a defective pair and almost used my warranty. So I got them over the Studio Buds,which I heard have more bass than the Fit Pros,but I guess the fit and audio is clearer so I guess I'll just stick to these cause they are still a bang for my buck.

[@rossauce12]

My advice is get a bestbuy card and buy all ur top pics try them for a few days then return the ones. I got power beats, beats fit pro, sony wh 1000, jabra elite 7 pro and 7 pro active .. sony sounded good but fell out easy and not loud, beats fit pro great anc but cant adjust sound if u dont use ios so most likily not, and jabras amazing battery stay in and ok anc but they sound so good and other better features i think they are #1

[@reubenreuben1875]

regarding on the sound quality..mai know wich is better airpods 3 or the beats fit pro..thanks'

[@rainy_days]

Do these hold well in your ear when you start to sweat? I run with AirPods Pro but once I start sweating they slip out. Looking for something that’ll stay put

[@chrisradtke3645]

Theirs great until the wingtips break and then your screwed. And mine broke after 6 months.

[@Andrei-gt7pw]

Jabra's are not good for running, the fall when you run. And they have a shitty issue with sound lowering itself.

[@jimbaker1982]

“I’m a regular sweater” haha. Great review/insight. For me the Aeropex made the most sense from an awareness standpoint. I’m happy to sacrifice the fidelity for safety in my situation. Keep up the sweet content!

[@kofuzi]

I didn't love the experience back when I tried them, but it's been a few years since I've tried aftershokz. I may be due for another try

[@jimbaker1982]

@@kofuzi it’s definitely a “your mileage may vary” situation. I don’t like to run with anything in/over my ears so it’s been a revelation for me. Would be cool to see your take on bone conducting headphones vs buds with transparency. Cheers!

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

I miss the volume button

[@lawryteos2230]

You don’t need the volume button. Just say “hey Siri, turn up/down the volume” Or if you have a Apple Watch. Just turn the watch crown to turn up and down the volume. But if you are an android user. Get Jaybra.

[@lovetheMcBeard]

Did the fit pro have the same charging issue as the powerbeats?

[@wearethree]

Do you have charging and connection issues like you did with the Wireless beats pros? I’ve read reviews that sound similar to the wireless beats pro issues.

[@RayPossibleGT]

Which has better bass? Beats fit pro or Airpods 3?

[@georgecoutermarsh6542]

Which is the loudest period?!! That's what I really want to know

[@shaileshupadhyay1699]

Love your background music...it feels like Indian classical music

[@caseyaritualrunning4036]

Reluctantly in the market for new wireless earbuds as my PowerBeat pros stopped charging after just a few months just like yours. Thanks for addressing that.

[@eriktred]

I’m loving my beats fit pros for running. Bonus Siri reads imsgs while phone is stored away if an iOS user.

[@Risayogi]

Me and a friend of mine have the same problem with Powerbeats Pro charging problem. We’re both avid runner / cyclist. Now I’ve switch to Bose Soundsport Wireless because the left earbud finally failed to charge altogether. Pretty satisfied with the sound quality and durability of the Bose, but I really miss Powerbeats’ apple ecosystem integration (i.e. seamless switching between Apple devices). Waiting for your long term durability review on this Beats fit pro.

[@eflo91]

same thing happened to my beats. it is an ongoing issue with them! :(

[@jimhedron3009]

Is there an actual iphone app for the Beats fit pro?

[@agjota]

powerbeats pro or jabra elite 85t in terms of sound quality and call quality?

[@kofuzi]

Jabra, but in my personal experience, the Powerbeats pro is a more durable device

[@agjota]

@@kofuzi thank you!

[@NicHasegawa]

Everyone: “Beats are too bass heavy” Beats *makes earbuds with a balanced sound profile* Consumers: “Beats are lacking in bass”

[@kofuzi]

I never tried Beats in the too-bass-heavy phase. I probably would have liked those.

[@NicHasegawa]

@@kofuzi That was their reputation for the big part of the past decade. They were popular for a reason though!

[@wilsonang6370]

Yo mike how do you focus on your breathing while running when listening to music?

[@kofuzi]

depends on the effort level, but for the most part, breathing is synched to paces not bpm. like, two in two out. two in one out. one in one out

[@aakashrathi001]

Transparency better in airpods pro or Jabra 85t ????

[@bryanitza-chulopez1658]

AirPods Pro have the better transparency and ANC slightly but not much of a difference. Now in terms of sound quality the Jabras blow the AirPods out of the water.

[@shaileshupadhyay1699]

Hi, how you will compare it with jabra elite 85t vs 75t

[@kofuzi]

I haven't made that video specifically, but I go into quite a bit of detail on the 85t here, with mention of the 75t and 65t at the end of the video (last chapter) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ7KgnSmi5iBqZY

[@svebu2320]

Thanks for your video. If I am a more intensively sweater the Jabra 75 seems to be better for me, right? Is there a big sound difference (quality/ bass) between the 75 vs 85 Elite earbuds?

[@carlosangalang]

The 85t elite sound a bit better because it's a partially open design. But I returned in favor of the 75t because it stays snug in my ears for running. Whereas the 85t just sits or lays on my ear and wouldn't stay in. I'm a sweaty runner, and I perpetually fidgeted to keep the 85t in my ear. Also the 85t are bulkier than the 75t. Also as a bass head, the tighter seal of the 75t makes for better low end sounds

[@rossauce12]

Get the 7 actives

[@jasonmichael982]

Tried these out for over a month after air pods pro would constantly fall out while at the gym. First of all the noise canceling does not work as well as the air pods pro. Sorry these are a must for me with all the loud mouths in the gym screaming their phone conversations while taking up space. Tried all the size attachments and still not as good. Loved the difference in controls compared to the AirPods Pro. Much easier and responsive. More comfortable and feel much lighter than the AirPods Pro. At first they seemed like I finally found good gym wireless ear buds. No issues bending over, thrashing my head around BUT what seemed like after a break in period they started to pop out. Doing simple movements too. They shouldn’t pop out doing seated curls. So they are being returned. Bought them for one purpose and no luck. Guess my ear canal does not fit the standard mold. One, two, three sizes do not fit all

[@jeremylopez2101]

Strange. Hard to believe they're falling out on a less vigorous movement like seated curls. Might just be none of the tips fit you, hence the worse ANC and falling out. All the reviewers I've watched say the ANC is on-par or a little worse. Getting them hopefully today, will update on whether I experience the same problems as you.

[@jeremylopez2101]

@@ImMisogynistic nope they’re pretty damn good. the airpods pro even 2nd gen, which i thought would have an improved fit over first gen are horrible at staying in. use beats fit pro even now, great pair for the gym

I kind of inadvertently found myself in that space and so I leaned into it, but it wasn't something I had set out to do

[@javierquintero9640]

I had to return these after a couple of weeks because they hurt my ears. They left my ears sore for hours after every run

[@kofuzi]

did you try different ear tips? or was it the wings that gave you the problem?

[@javierquintero9640]

@@kofuzi I tried all of the ear tips, but the problem was the plastic part just behind the ear tips. I thought I would get used to it after a week or so, because I liked how they stayed in my ears much better than airpod pros. For any runs longer than 1 hour my ears would become really sore.

[@BrendonCamm]

FIRST?!

[@kofuzi]

yo!

[@bigheavy12]

Great video and information!!

[@kofuzi]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ksteege]

Did not hear much of a difference other than the traffic was not as bad when the beats were on seemed like more slow cars at that point but overall all three were a bit better than the iPhone mic.... Also I dont know how folks keep earpods in and run ever - perhaps I should try one of these at some point but any ones I have tried that dont have the over the ear loop have always fallen out. Am I weird like that LOL

[@kofuzi]

the weird thing is, my preference changed depending on which earbuds I was using to listen to the samples.

[@jasondahl8538]

I love my airpod pro's mainly because of the seamless integration across all my apple devices (Yes, I am a fanboy). Good to know that Beats offers that kind of integration and handoff as well. I may have missed this in the video, but how is connecting across devices with Jabra? Thanks!

[@kofuzi]

I didn't mention it in this video, but Jabra does exceptionally well with handoff between iPhone and Apple Watch. the handoff is not quite as good when connecting to MacBook, however. I usually have to select it in the menu bar of may laptop to connect. not a huge deal, and definitely better than the vast majority of non-apple earbuds, but it's not seamless in that scenario.

[@m.r.6264]

You read my mind. I was already starting to look online for good earbuds to wear for running

[@tonybowen455]

I got the powerbeats because I love battery life and using them as a necklace with the wire. I was really disappointed with the sound right away when I got them. I tried diff eq settings and ear tips. I returned them. I like my cheap bt earbuds better. I ordered some galaxy buds+. Would love to get refurb jabra 85t's but they're all out of stock atm.
