How this is made

What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Fit Pro
across 3 reviews
4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Wing tip keeps earbuds locked in place during movement and running better than most alternatives
  • Active noise cancellation noticeably stronger than AirPods Pro with better seal
  • H1 chip brings full Apple ecosystem integration including device switching and spatial audio
Reviewers push back
  • Case feels cheap with rattly lid and lower build quality than the earbuds
  • Wing tip creates initial tickling sensation that takes adjustment
  • Earbuds protrude visibly from the side of the head
Reviewers agree these deliver strong sound and stay secure during activity, with better noise cancellation than AirPods Pro and fuller Apple ecosystem features than the Studio Buds, though the case feels cheaper than the earbuds themselves.
— best for: Apple users who need secure-fitting earbuds for workouts or movement and want stronger noise cancellation than AirPods Pro without paying more.
QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
3.4/5
Reviewers praise
  • Outstanding active noise cancellation, particularly effective against low-frequency rumble like jet engines and trains
  • Comfortable secure fit with multiple ear tip and stability band combinations that stay in place during movement
  • Strong battery performance at six hours per charge with ANC enabled, twenty-four hours total with case
Reviewers push back
  • Bass is heavily overemphasized by default, requiring EQ adjustment that the three-band equalizer struggles to address fully
  • No wireless charging support despite premium positioning
  • No multi-point connection—users must manually switch between devices in the app
Reviewers agree these deliver exceptional noise cancellation and comfort but stumble on tuning and missing conveniences.
— best for: Travelers and commuters who prioritize best-in-class noise cancellation and secure fit over tonal accuracy will find these excel at blocking constant ambient noise.

Where reviewers split on Fit Pro: One reviewer finds the gray colorway unappealing while another chose it specifically for the cream interior pairing On QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: One reviewer found the immersive audio feature transformative for certain music, while another dismissed it as unimpressive and laggy

These are a work of art. They fit so comfortably in the ear, never fall out, connect to my iPhone right away without me having to do anything, the sound quality is CRISP and amazing (i feel like im in a recording studio), and they look really cool :) I couldn't be happier and I'm really glad I didn't re-purchase the Airpod Pros that I lost after a week of having them lol!

coming from using the galaxy buds pro ear buds for the last few years, which seem to have gone down in quality, these are so much better. Comparable or better sound quality. the noise cancellation is WAY better. i work in a noisy office where each desk is touching the next, and am usually surrounded by chewing, clicking, talking, laughing, and construction noises all day. These block ALL of that o maddie · walmart.com
