- Which is better for running and the gym?
- The Beats Fit Pro. Its wingtips and IPX4 rating are made for sweat and movement. The SteelSeries is water-resistant but does not state a rating.
- Which has longer battery life?
- The SteelSeries, at 10 hours in use. The Beats runs about 6 hours with noise cancellation on and about 24 hours total with the case.
- Which is better for iPhone users?
- The Beats Fit Pro. It pairs with one touch and supports Audio Sharing on Apple devices. The SteelSeries works over standard Bluetooth but lacks those Apple features.
- Is the SteelSeries worth $199.99?
- Only if you want Bluetooth 5.3, a two-year warranty and a gaming headset. For everyday listening and workouts, the Beats is the more practical buy.
- Which has newer Bluetooth?
- The SteelSeries, with Bluetooth 5.3 versus 5.0 on the Beats. In practice both connect reliably; the newer version helps with power use and switching.
- Can either connect to two devices at once?
- The Beats does not do simultaneous multipoint either, but it pairs quickly on Apple devices. The SteelSeries also lacks simultaneous Bluetooth and relies on quick switching.
