Powerbeats Fit – the new fitness update from Beats Apfelpatient

Powerbeats Fit expands the successful Powerbeats family with a model that combines comfort, stability, and performance in a new form. The wireless in-ears are the evolution of the Beats Fit Pro and feature a redesigned design, a more compact charging case, and optimized features.

Beats has been one of the most popular brands for sports and lifestyle headphones for years. Powerbeats Fit takes the strengths of the Fit Pro and complements them with improvements in comfort, durability, and portability. The goal is a pair of headphones that excel both during training and in everyday life, while also establishing a clear position within the Powerbeats lineup.

Improved fit and design

The biggest innovation in Powerbeats Fit is the redesigned wing design. The wings are 20 percent more flexible, ensuring a more secure fit in the ear – comparable to the grip of the ear hooks on the Powerbeats Pro 2. The charging case is 17 percent smaller than that of the Beats Fit Pro and also features IPX4 certification against sweat and water. Four different ear tip sizes – extra small, small, medium, and large – allow for a customized fit, making Powerbeats Fit comfortable even during longer workouts.

Robust features for sports and everyday use

The earbuds are IPX4 certified, making them sweat- and water-resistant. They can withstand intense workouts and work reliably in rain, snow, or heat. While both the charging case and earbuds are not recommended for use in water, they offer protection in all typical sports situations.

Sound quality and listening modes

Powerbeats Fit's sound is powered by a custom acoustic platform with proprietary drivers. This creates the signature Beats sound: powerful, dynamic, and balanced. Adaptive EQ adjusts the sound in real time to the individual fit and seal in the ear. Additionally, personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking creates an immersive experience for music, movies, and games. Supported content and compatible devices are required. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) ensures uninterrupted focus, while Transparency Mode lets you consciously hear ambient noise.

Connection and smart features

Powerbeats Fit uses Class 1 Bluetooth for exceptionally stable connections. With the Apple H1 chip, iOS users benefit from features like automatic device switching, audio sharing, voice control with "Hey Siri," and integration with "Find My." Many features are also available for Android. The Beats app offers one-touch pairing, customizable controls, a battery status indicator, "Locate My Beats," and a fit test that recommends the right eartip size.

Making phone calls and controlling

Voice quality during calls is enhanced by two beamforming microphones that capture voices clearly while filtering out ambient noise like wind. The controls on the earbuds allow direct control of music playback, volume, listening modes, calls, and voice assistants.

Battery life and charging case

Each earbud offers up to seven hours of playback time. With the charging case, the battery life is extended to up to 30 hours. With noise cancellation enabled, the battery life is reduced to six hours per earbud and 24 hours total. Thanks to Fast Fuel, a five-minute charge provides up to one hour of playback. The charging case itself is not only smaller but also IPX4-certified, making it sweat- and water-resistant.

Environmentally friendly packaging

Powerbeats Fit comes in packaging made entirely from plant-based materials, either from recycled fibers or sustainably managed forests.

Colors, price and availability

Powerbeats Fit will be available in four colors: Jet Black, Gravel Gray, Spark Orange, and Power Pink. The price is €229.95 . The model will be available at apple.com from September 30, 2025, and in stores from October 2.

Powerbeats Fit as a versatile all-rounder

Combining a sophisticated design with technical refinement, the Powerbeats Fit offers a clear improvement over its predecessor. More flexible wings, a more compact charging case, longer battery life, and robust IPX4 certification make these in-ears a companion that's just as suitable for sports as they are for everyday use. With powerful sound, ANC, Spatial Audio, and extensive features for iOS and Android users, the Powerbeats Fit cements its place as one of the most versatile models in the Powerbeats family.
