Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances 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.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of 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
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20Hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 10Hz
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable 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 produce a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
Highest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20,000Hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 20,000Hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Fit Pro
101.3dB/mW
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✗
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
