Apple TWS headset products ushered in an update in the fourth quarter of 2021, and successively launched Apple AirPods 3 and Beats Fit Pro true wireless noise cancelling earbuds. Although the two products have different positioning, they both apply Apple’s current top technology, support the complete Apple ecosystem, and provide high-quality wireless audio experience for different users such as iOS and Android.
Beats Fit Pro true wireless noise cancelling earbuds were released in November and officially went on sale in December. In the appearance design, flexible earwings are added to the previous Beats Studio Buds to provide more people with comfortable and stable wearing. In terms of functional configuration, it is equipped with a custom acoustic platform, Apple H1 chip, skin recognition optical sensor, gyroscope and acceleration sensor, supports three listening modes of active noise cancellation, transparency mode, and adaptive equalization, and supports dynamic head tracking spatial audio.
The Beats products previously teardown by 52audio include: Beats Studio Buds, Beats Powerbeats PRO, BEATS FLEX, BEATS SOLO PRO, etc. Let’s take a look at the detailed dismantling report of this product.

03/ Summary
Beats Fit Pro true wireless noise cancelling earbuds can be seen as a fusion of the advantages of the previous two generations in terms of design. The charging case returns to the horizontal rounded square design of the first-generation headset, but the volume has been greatly reduced, compared with the second-generation headset, the battery capacity is greatly improved. The headset continues the compact and exquisite design of the second generation, and adds flexible and flexible earwings, which can better adapt to the auricle structure of different people and provide a comfortable fit and stable wearing effect.
The internal structure design is complex and exquisite, especially the inside of the headset, which contains a large number of components in such a small body, which has a very high level of integration. The charging case still uses the Type-C interface, which is more convenient for most users at present. The built-in battery capacity has been increased to 600mAh, and a 3.84V high-voltage battery is used to achieve a longer-lasting battery life. In terms of internal circuits, important components IC are coated with a large amount of hard glue for protection, and relevant information cannot be obtained.
Inside the Beats Fit Pro earbuds, all components are connected in series on an FPC cable, and in order to make better use of the internal space, based on the appearance of the earphone, the earphone motherboard and battery protection board are placed horizontally on the side of the battery. The headset is equipped with a 9.5mm customized dynamic driver, and 3 MEMS microphones are used for active noise cancelling, call noise cancelling, and adaptive equalization mode pickup. The motherboard adopts Apple H1 chip similar to AirPods Pro, and Apple customizes 338S00517-B1 PMIC and other configurations.
