Our Verdict

Beats Fit Pro True Wireless

Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless

The Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless are better earbuds than the Beats Fit Pro True Wireless. The Sony have a more comfortable fit, and you can fine-tune their sound thanks to their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. They also have a better overall battery performance and support multi-device pairing. If you want to listen to higher-resolution audio, they even support LDAC, Sony's proprietary high-res audio codec. Their ANC can also block out more ambient sound, which is handy for commutes or noisy offices. However, you may still prefer the Beats if you want colorful buds to match your aesthetic.
