Soundcore Q30
Score: 80/100
Beats Fit Pro Black
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Soundcore Life Q30 provides hybrid ANC with up to 95% low-frequency reduction, a massive 40-hour battery life with ANC, and fast 5-minute charging. Its plastic build and audio leakage at high volumes are drawbacks. Best suited for budget-conscious commuters seeking long battery life.
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 Q30 for its impressive low-frequency ANC, marathon-length battery and comfortable fit at a budget price, while noting audio leakage at high volumes and a less premium build compared to flagship models.
Everyday users consistently praise the comfort, long battery life and effective low-frequency noise cancellation, but many flag sound leakage, earcup slippage during vigorous movement, and a bass-heavy default sound that often needs EQ adjustment.
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.
