I bought these earbuds along with 4 other pairs, with the intent of comparing them over a couple weeks and returning all but my favorite. Here were the results:
Beats Fit Pro - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JL65GNM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – These buds had some great base, and the wingtip gave them a fit that made them refuse to fall out of my ears. But the best feature? Physical “clicky” buttons on each one of the buds. You press in and hear/feel the click, rather than relying on a touchscreen-like feature. No need to guess if you tapped them once or twice, you will know.
Cons – The wingtip gives a very sturdy fit, but not the most comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with smaller ears. The noise canceling was solid, but nothing special. And this may be picky, but I didn’t care for most of the color schemes available. I prefer my earbuds to be hard to notice, and even the black ones have a bright red letter “b” in the middle.
Beats Studio Buds - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096SV8SJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Very comfortable with the same great physically “clicky” buttons as the Beats Fit Pro. Noise canceling seemed slightly better than average. Great base. Classic look.
Cons – Tested during a workout, a little bit of sweat had these sliding right out of my ear. The case for these earbuds also was the flimsiest of any I had tested, with a very weak hinge that I was scared of breaking off within the 2 weeks of using.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWZHHKP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – A neat feature that I noticed only in these earbuds was that it had noise amplification as well as noise cancelation. With one swipe in the app, the surrounding sound was actually louder and clearer than it would be without the earbuds in. Great if you are hard of hearing, or just enjoy snooping on conversations out of reach.
Cons – Similar to the Beats Studio Buds, these didn’t stay in during a workout. They were usable, but every 10 minutes I found myself pushing them back into my ear. And this is an opinion, but these are the ugliest earbuds out of the bunch. The shiny black gleam made it look like a large beetle was hanging out in my ear. No visible brand placement either, which makes them appear cheap and generic rather than the quality Samsung they are.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TBM1L3S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Cost effective! I added these to the test group because of the unique shape, and for that they are worth giving a try. If you have small ears and do not like the rubber insert that is standard in most other earbuds, these may be perfect for you.
Cons – Poor fit for large ears. These were tested the least of all of the buds, because the fit was so bad for my ear shape that they wouldn’t stay in if I turned my head too fast.
Bose QuietComfort - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4KWM9T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Bose noise canceling is unmatched. If your primary use for earbuds is to cancel out that background white noise, this is the pair for you. The sound quality is great, not too heavy on the base. The case for the earbuds stood out from the rest as the only one that impressed me. Felt very study, and I had no worries tossing it into a gym bag or cup holder. The only case with a button latch to make sure it doesn’t open accidentally.
Cons – This was the most expensive pair of earbuds by a longshot, and there were still some things I felt could be improved. The rubber inserts had more of a “flayed” shape rather than the “rounded” shape that is standard. My guess is that this was by design, because the earbuds were also slightly heavier than others and may need that extra in-ear grip. The flayed shape did make them sturdier, but at the cost of them being uncomfortable in an active situation. They were also the largest earbuds, and stuck out from the side of my head further than I would have liked.
My favorite? The beats fit pro! While I wouldn’t recommend this pair for everyone, it was perfect for my routine. My music taste benefits from the boosted base, and the wingtip shape was perfect for any workouts. The feature that really convinced me was the physical buttons, something that I didn’t realize how desperately I needed.

Excellent -- Budget Friendly -- Good Review from a Beats Fan Girl and Audiophile
Been a few months (May 2024) since the purchase so I wanted to give a nice, solid review.Battery life --- Excellent. 5 starsRange From Phone/Case --- Excellent. 5 starsStability --- Excellent. 5 starsCharging --- Excellent. 5 starsSound Quality --- Excellent. 5 stars (especially if you aren't an audiophile. We're picky and hard to please so don't listen to our complaints as closely. Leave those for the audiophiles to read about.Connectivity --- Excellent. 5 stars.With that said ...If you need something to work out in, live in a hot environment and are cleaning your yard.Nope. Not staying in. And my ears are pretty versatile.Which is why during Amazon Days I just purchased the Beats Fit Pro set.The sound on the Fits... Not gonna lie, huge difference in quality. Wasn't expecting it to be that different. But, alas, it is. Now with that said, these here are super affordable. If you're on a budget get them. The fits, not on sale and on sale, not for a budget audio buyer. So think about what is important as far as staying in your ears. If you're looking for a chill around the house, sure these are excellent. If you wanna run, don't. Save and get the fits.Comfortable. Weight is not heavy. I don't use my buds for calls so I cannot speak on the mic, sorry.

I like the sound a lot. I read a previous review from someone saying that the audio sounds really quiet at first and to fix it go into the setting for your headphones and change the press and hold feature to change the volume, after you use the headphones to turn the volume up, you can switch that setting off back to noise control. After i did that the audio was great, nice and loud. The buds fit nice for me with the small ear tips, not uncomfortable. The case is pretty light as well which i personally like a lot. Pretty solid headphones, I quite like them. The noise cancellation doesn’t entirely work, but i dont really mind too much since it still blocks out some noise just not entirely.
Solid headphones, worth it :)

For years I have used the raycon E55 and some of the features I loved about raycon was the manual button in the earbuds, excessive bass and great inside-ear fit.
Recently however, raycon has gone the way of the world— they have put sensors on the earbuds in the place of buttons and Balanced out the audio. So I began my search for new earbuds.
—THE SOUND—
Both the AirPods, galaxybuds and raycons I have tried tend to be balanced and prioritize giving equal notes to all instruments For a clear and concise sound, But to someone who is not an audiophile it sounds very flat and devoid of the punch that I desire. For me- I want it to be great sounding but also noticeably bass heavy. These Beats Studio buds deliver. The company recognizes that your not using these to analyze a song. These are for the people who like bass and want to feel some gravitas in their ears!
—CONNECTIVITY—
These connect effortlessly to iPhone, as if they were AirPods. It was the single biggest factor that blew me away with these. They are incredibly easy to connect. I cannot speak for android but these work great. They do not have a lot of audio adjustments like Bose but I frankly don’t need them to. You can easily see the battery state on both buds and the case from a pop up window in your apple home screen whenever opening the case, just like AirPods.
—FIT—
The fit is not as good as the raycon E55 but only by a little bit. They fit snuggly in your ears well enough that they do not fall off when running and working out. Although adjustments might need to be made to them occasionally. (I have small ears, so the fit is review as such)
—THE CONTROLS—
The controls are simple and straightforward. They are just like what you come to expect from earbuds. Single tap, double tap, triple tap.
The earbuds HAVE AN ACTUAL BUTTON… which I thought was extinct, I personally hate the sensor buttons because adjusting your earbuds in your ears would trigger the controls.
While these do have a very sensitive physical button— it is easy to avoid while adjusting with practice.
—BATTERY—
The battery lasts me all day, what more do you want?
—RANGE—
Very good, about 30+ feet
—CONS—
-no MagSafe compatible charging
-fit isn’t as perfect as some brands but is really good
-if your an audiophile these earbuds are not balanced
Final call-
If you like bass, and hate the sensor controls on most earbuds— these very well could be the best earbuds you could get. These are on par with earbuds in the 200$ range. And if your anything like me, you will love them! And if not, they might still be worth it to you
—UPDATE—
they have a hard time staying in when working out, and so I had to buy wing tips for these. They automatically have active noise cancellation on when you take them out of the case… which I personally hate.
And the cases battery is pretty short lived… only lasts two days generally

Pros:
- battery life: This thing lasts so long (even longer than my brothers AirPods)
- sounds quality: sounds amazing and clear!
- comfort: I find them really comfortable (I’ve literally slept wearing these) and I find these never fall out.
- noise reduction: such a blessing I never knew I needed (especially at the gym)
- cost: super affordable compared to other brands
- look: I love the look of these and how small they are vs some other bulky looking ear buds
- pairing: I love how quick and easy it is to pair with my phone. No need to worry about setting it up every time
- Display: I love how you can see how much battery is left right from your phone
Cons:
- phone calls: this was the biggest con for me since this was half the reason I bought them. I simply cannot take any home calls because no one can hear me
- accessories: this one is more of a personal con but there aren’t a lot of cute cases for it (if that’s some thing you care about)
- buttons: the way they set up volume is a bit weird to me so I normally control volume straight from my phone
