Our verdict

The AirPods Pro 2 Earbuds takes the performance lead with a 10% higher overall score, driven by its more shader cores, more of memory, and higher TFLOPS of compute power. In gaming benchmarks at 1440p, it delivers roughly 0% more frames per second across demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2.

However, the AirPods Pro 2 Earbuds tells a compelling value story. At $200 versus the Fit Pro Earbuds's $160 price tag, it costs $40 less while delivering performance that's only 10% behind. Its of memory is still more than enough for 1440p and even 4K gaming in most titles.

The Fit Pro Earbuds only makes sense if you need the absolute maximum performance for native 4K ray tracing, professional 3D rendering, or AI workloads where the extra VRAM and compute power provide a tangible advantage.
