the two main thing I want to is sound quality and noise cancellation. I tried the airpods pro 2 and the noise cancellation is amazing. I was wondering if the beats fit pro comes close to the noise cancellation of app2

Do Powerbeats Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 2 work with Android?
Yes, both work with Android, but with limited functionality. The Powerbeats Pro 2 offer better Android support through the Beats app, which allows you to customize controls and access heart-rate data. The AirPods Pro 2 will function as basic Bluetooth earbuds on Android but lose most of their special features.
Are Powerbeats Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 2 good for running and working out?
The Powerbeats Pro 2 are excellent for running and working out due to their secure ear hooks, IPX4 water resistance, and heart-rate monitoring. The AirPods Pro 2 are suitable for light to moderate exercise but may not stay as secure during high-impact activities despite their IPX4 rating.
Do Powerbeats Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 2 have wireless charging?
Yes, both support wireless charging. The Powerbeats Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 2 cases can be charged wirelessly via Qi, MagSafe, or Apple Watch chargers, as well as via USB-C for wired charging.
To me Power Beats Pros are still way behind than the AirPods Pros
ANC is not as good as AirPods Pros 👎🏾
Wireless Charging without the Magsafe 👎🏾 and doesn't charge with Apple Watch Charger.
Automatic Switching between Apple Devices not there, a feature all Apple users live 👎🏾
No conversation awareness like AirPods Pros 👎🏾
Still Heavier than AirPods Pros 👎🏾
No iPV6 👎🏾
Heart rate to me is a gimmick and eats battery life. 👎🏾
Don't expect an upgrade after five years to be so underwhelming. I'm disappointed.
I wanted to put together a detailed feature comparison of Powerbeats Pro 2 vs Beats Fit Pro vs AirPods 4 (ANC) vs AirPods Pro 2. I've regularly used all of these modes except AirPods 4 (ANC).
I don't want to say too much about sound quality and ANC of Powerbeats Pro 2 just yet because I'm still getting used to how they fit. I remember hating the Beats Fit Pro for about a month until I got used to them, and I now love them. I will say that Powerbeats Pro 2 sounds good and has good ANC with a good seal, but the sound quality is just a bit muddier and the mids/highs are a bit harsher/sharper than I'd prefer. AirPods Pro 2 has noticeably better sound quality and ANC than either the Beats Fit Pro or Powerbeats Pro 2.
Beats Fit Pro, Powerbeats Pro 2, AirPods 4 (ANC), and AirPods Pro 2 all support the following features:
Noise Control: ANC + Transparency
Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking + Spatialize Stereo
One Touch Pairing
Automatic Switching between Apple devices
Ear Tip Fit Test
Headphone Accommodations
Automatic Ear Detection for auto play/pause
Hands free "Hey Siri"
Announce Notifications
Exclusive to AirPods Pro 2, Powerbeats Pro 2, and AirPods 4 (ANC):
Low latency lossless audio with Apple Vision Pro
Hands free "Siri"
"Case sounds" - While the Powerbeats Pro 2 case doesn't have a speaker, it will play certain "case sounds" through the earbuds. Interestingly enough, these sounds appear to be the same as the ones developed for Beats Solo Buds, not the ones AirPods use
Qi wireless charging
Exclusive to AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 (ANC):
Adaptive Audio
Personalized Volume
Conversation Awareness
Head Gestures to respond to notifications
Apple Watch Charging

Speaker on case for Find My
AirPods Pro 2 Exclusive Features:
Hearing Protection
Hearing Test/Hearing Aid functionality

Conclusion:
Beats Fit Pro, Powerbeats Pro 2, AirPods 4 (ANC), and AirPods Pro 2 all provide a good experience for Apple users, IF the comfort/fit works for you. I'm confident that the vast majority of Apple users will be able to find at least one of these models where the fit/comfort works for you and you are reasonably satisfied with the sound quality, noise control, and overall feature set. AirPods Pro 2 definitively provides the best sound quality, noise control, and overall feature set for Apple users, IF the comfort and fit works for you.
I'm disappointed the Powerbeats Pro 2 currently lacks a bunch of features that even AirPods 4 (ANC) has, but I'm cautiously optimistic these features (Adaptive Audio, Personalized Volume, Conversation Awareness, Head Gestures) will be added eventually in a future firmware update. If Apple can add these features and slightly tweak the sound signature to make the mids/highs a little less harsh/sharp, the Powerbeats Pro 2 will be basically everything I hoped they could be.
I'm still desperately hoping we get Beats Fit Pro 2 with the H2 chip this fall, as I currently prefer the wingtip design over the ear hook design. Perhaps Beats Fit Pro 2 could launch day 1 with support for Adaptive Audio, Personalized Volume, Conversation Awareness, and Head Gestures, at which point Powerbeats Pro 2 would receive a firmware update that adds these features. This is the best case scenario that I think is realistic.
I’ve just purchased the new AirPods Pro 3, and own the original Powerbeats Pro. I use both for the gym, but primarily the AirPods due to noise cancellation.
I’m wondering if I should’ve purchased the new Powerbeats instead. I love the bass-heavy sound of the AirPods, and was wondering how the new Powerbeats compare?
Nice to see a smaller case size but the general vibe definitely seems to be that these are just BFP with a smaller case and better ear tips.
I hope you are well and safe. Apologies for my English
So I owned AirPods Pro 2, but I lost them. Got another pair, but Amazon lost the parcel.
I work out a lot. Almost every day. AirPods Pro 2 were fine but often fell off my ears.
I am thinking, shall I buy AirPods Pro 2 for the third time or give a chance PowerBeats Pro
I know PoweBeats Pro do not have ANC but they are perfect for the gym and running.
I also own AirPods Max(they have ANC etc), and I did a few workouts with them, but I have heard I should not use them for working out
What would you do if you were me?
