Kim Kardashian dropped some aesthetic AF Beats by Dre wireless earbuds on Aug. 16, and they’re already sold out online. But are they really worth the hype? Here’s how Kim K’s Beats Fit Pro compare to AirPods Pro.

Colors

The most appealing factor of Kim K’s Beats are the three neutral colors it comes in — Moon, Dune, and Earth. The AirPods Pro only come in white, as do all the other AirPods models.

Price

But: Kim K’s Beats are a bit easier on your wallet, at $199.99 compared to AirPods Pros at $249.

Battery

Both earbuds provide the same 24 hours of listening time with a fully charged case. However, Kim K’s Beats comes in with a longer single-charge listening time of six hours, compared to AirPods Pros’ four and a half hours.

Battery (Cont.)

Fast charging capabilities means five minutes in the case will give both earbuds an hour of use. Talking over the phone will drain your AirPods Pro faster with 18 hours of talk time. Kim K’s Beats doesn't specify if talking uses more battery than listening does.

Design (Cont.)

It’s all in the details. The stems of the AirPods Pro have sensors to let you switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. The Beats don’t have that feature. But both have vents to improve comfort and relieve pressure.

Sound

Kim K’s Beats are equipped with an advanced digital processor, plus Spatial Audio and head tracking adjust sound as you move for a multi-dimensional listening experience. AirPods Pros have next-level noise cancellation and use Adaptive EQ to tune music to the shape of the ear.

Noise Cancellation

Both sets of earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode to allow in outside sound. AirPods Pros have an additional Conversation Boost to help you hear the person you’re talking to in a noisy environment.

Water Resistance

No competition here, both earbuds are sweat and water resistant with a rating of IPX4. If you’re looking for something with a greater water resistance, try the Samsung Galaxy Buds2Pro or Buds Pro.

Size & Weight

The AirPods Pros are ever-so-slightly lighter, with each earbud weighing 5.4 grams compared to Kim K’s Beats at 5.6 grams per bud. The case of the AirPods Pro is almost half the size and 10 grams lighter, making the AirPods Pro lighter overall.
