Apple’s Beats brand is all-in on the fitness crowd. The company just launched the Powerbeats Fit in India, a new pair of workout-focused earbuds that aims to be the ultimate gym and running companion, even sitting above the popular Beats Fit Pro.
They cost ₹24,900, and you can order them now on apple.com, with retail store availability starting October 2.
At first glance, they look like a subtle update to the Fit Pro, but the changes are all about comfort and staying in place. Beats finally ditched the bulky, over-the-ear hooks from the old Powerbeats Pro 2 in favor of a smaller, more secure wingtip system that tucks right into your ear. The result is a lighter, more comfortable fit that shouldn’t budge during long runs or intense workouts. Plus, an IPX4 rating means they can easily handle sweat or an unexpected rain shower—a key feature for any serious athlete.
Performance Meets Comfort
Beats Beats didn’t just focus on the fit. Inside, you get a custom audio system tuned for clear, balanced sound. Crucially, they include Apple’s Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, offering an immersive, surround-sound experience similar to the AirPods Pro.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) shuts out loud gym music or treadmill hum, and Transparency Mode allows you to safely hear your surroundings, like traffic on a run. For calls, the dual beam-forming microphones and special processing tech cancel out wind and background noise, a feature appreciated by athletes on the go.
iPhone Perks, Android Friendly
Because this is an Apple-owned brand, all the usual iPhone magic is here thanks to the H1 chip: instant pairing, “Hey Siri,” seamless device switching, and Find My support.
But Beats is making a rare move by including expanded support for Android users. The Beats app on Android gives you one-touch pairing, custom controls, battery status, and even a “Fit Test” to ensure you have the perfect seal.
Battery and Case
Battery life promises up to 7 hours on a single charge and a total of 30 hours with the case. A quick five-minute charge can deliver an extra hour of playback, a convenience gym-goers love.
The charging case itself is 17 percent smaller than the Fit Pro’s, making it much easier to actually slip into a pocket or gym bag, and it’s also sweat- and splash-resistant.
At ₹24,900, the Powerbeats Fit sits in the premium tier, competing directly with major noise-canceling earbuds like the Sony WF-1000XM5 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.
