Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Beats Powerbeats Fit? It usually sells for about $200. Here are 5 cheaper swaps from $100: the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024) is the closest match from another brand, the Beats Studio Buds+ is a cheaper option from Beats and the Soundcore Sport X20 is the cheapest at about $100. Each one says what you give up for the lower price.
Beats replaced the Fit Pro with the Powerbeats Fit, which sells for about $200. The closest cheaper picks are Beats' own Studio Buds+ (about $170, though they have no wingtips) and Bose's QuietComfort Earbuds (about $149). The cheapest option here with workout ear hooks and noise cancelling is Soundcore's Sport X20 at about $100.
The Powerbeats Fit makes sense for iPhone owners who want small wingtip earbuds that stay put during workouts, with Apple's H1 chip for one-tap pairing and Find My built in. Beats says the wingtip is nearly 20% more flexible than the old Fit Pro's, and its smaller case is the first Beats case rated IPX4.
If secure fit is the priority and Apple extras are not, the JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 ($105) or Soundcore Sport X20 ($100) use full ear hooks that hold even better on hard runs. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds ($149) suit people who care most about noise cancelling, and Beats Studio Buds+ ($170) suit gym-goers who want Beats features without wingtips.

The Soundcore Sport X20, at about $100 (50% less). Secure ear hooks and noise cancelling for half the price. The catch: Bigger hooks and no Apple one-tap pairing or Find My.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024), at about $149 (26% less). Strong Bose noise cancelling, with stability bands to hold them in place. The catch: No Apple one-tap pairing or Find My support like Beats.
Yes. The Beats Studio Buds+, at about $170 (15% less). Beats ANC and transparency with one-tap pairing on iPhone and Android. The catch: No wingtips, so they're less secure during hard workouts.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds ($149) are the closest for noise cancelling with stability bands, and the Soundcore Sport X20 ($100) is the cheapest pick here with ear hooks and ANC.
No. The Powerbeats Fit ($200) uses small wingtips, while the Powerbeats Pro 2 has full ear hooks, heart-rate monitoring and a 10-hour per-charge rating.
Yes, but one-touch pairing, custom controls, battery status and Locate My Beats need the Beats app on Android.
Beats' own Beats Powerbeats Fit ($200) is the step down. Beats lists noise cancelling and Transparency on both, but the Fit swaps the Pro 2's ear hooks for smaller wingtips, uses the H1 chip instead of the H2, and has no heart-rate sensor, and Beats doesn't list wireless charging for its case. If you want full ear hooks for less, the Soundcore Sport X20 ($100) and JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 ($105) both have hooks and noise cancelling.
Of the picks here, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024) ($149) use stability bands to hold them in place, while the Beats Studio Buds+ ($170) have no wingtips. Outside this list, Google's Pixel Buds 2a use what Google calls a twist-to-adjust stabilizer, with noise cancelling and an IP54 rating for the buds.
Only slightly. Beats says the new wingtip is nearly 20% more flexible, and Engadget found the wingtips a bit shorter and more secure in hard workouts, though it called the comfort change subtle. Engadget found the sound and noise cancelling almost the same as the Fit Pro's, with a case it says is 17% more compact.
Engadget found the wingtips held securely during intense workouts. Beats rates the buds and case IPX4 for sweat and splashes and lists up to 6 hours per charge with noise cancelling on; Engadget named both as the main weak spots.

Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
