Beats Fit Pro Black
Score: 71/100
Marshall Motif II with ANC
Score: 77/100Rankings
Marshall Motif II true-wireless earbuds combine IPX5 sweat resistance, customizable touch controls, and up to 43 hours total battery life with ANC. Their ANC and codec support are modest, and they lack voice-assistant integration. Perfect for commuters and workout enthusiasts who want durable earbuds with decent ANC.
The Beats Fit Pro are true-wireless earbuds with wing-tip stability, active noise cancellation, and a bass-forward sound signature. They trade off longer battery life and a bulkier fit for a secure, sweat-resistant design. Ideal for athletes and iPhone users who prioritize fit and ANC.

Professional reviewers commend the Beats Fit Pro for its secure wingtip fit, strong ANC, and H1-driven Apple ecosystem features, noting its durability and bass-forward sound that suits active listeners. However, they point out ergonomic bulk, average mic performance, lack of multi-device pairing, and modest battery life as drawbacks, especially for users seeking a neutral sound profile.
Everyday users largely appreciate the secure fit during workouts, the robust build, and the convenient iPhone integration, while recurring concerns focus on fit comfort for smaller ears, the dominant bass response, and occasional microphone issues.
“won't fall out even during intense activity”
Professional reviewers commend the Motif II for its enjoyable, balanced sound, substantial battery upgrades and the addition of Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint. They appreciate the rugged Marshall aesthetic and the improved ANC, though they acknowledge that the noise cancellation is not elite and the lack of high-resolution codecs limits audiophile appeal.
Everyday users love the marathon battery life, comfortable fit and the punchy Marshall-style sound, especially for commuting and workouts. Common praise centers on the sturdy build, IPX5 resistance and the convenience of quick charging. Recurring complaints involve ANC falling short in very loud environments, touch controls being overly sensitive, and occasional hiccups with multipoint device switching.
