Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Fit Pro

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✓
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Beats Fit Pro
9.5mm
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 9.2mm
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the sound produced by the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bowers & Wilkins PI7 by 0.3mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20Hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 10Hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
Highest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20000Hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 20000Hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Fit Pro
101.3dB/mW
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✗
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✗
Beats Fit Pro have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
