Our Verdict
Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless
V-MODA BassFit Wireless
The Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless are slightly better headphones than the V-MODA BassFit Wireless, but both headphones are very similar. The Beats have a slightly more comfortable build, as they don’t enter your ear canal as deeply as the V-MODA. They also have a slightly more neutral-sounding frequency response, but the difference will be subtle. The Beats are also slightly better-built, feel more durable, and have better wireless range. On the other hand, the V-MODA have slightly less latency for watching video content and support the aptX and AAC codecs, which might give you better overall performance.
