TWS (True Wireless) headphones have seen a surge in popularity, and we at senses.se have evaluated a significant number of them over the years. Each model presents its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. This review focuses on the new FITS earbuds from Logitech.
The FITS are available in both black and white. The white variant was selected for this review based on aesthetic preference. However, upon opening the box, the charging case’s matte surface raised concerns about its susceptibility to accumulating dirt and smudges.
The packaging includes instructions for initial pairing with a mobile device, prompting the user to download the FITS application. Once installed, the app initiates the Lightform customization process. This technology piqued our initial curiosity.
The Lightform process involves inserting an earbud and gently holding it in place while the rubber tip slightly heats up and molds to the unique contours of the user’s ear. This process takes approximately 60 seconds per ear. The custom fit provides a comfortable and secure experience. The earbuds are remarkably lightweight and remain comfortable even after extended use.
Connectivity is achieved via either Bluetooth or Lightspeed using the included USB dongle. Initial gaming tests on a mobile device revealed clear and nuanced audio. Connecting the dongle to a PC seamlessly transitioned audio output to the earbuds. The resulting spatial audio significantly enhanced the gaming experience. Unlike over-ear headphones which can cause discomfort, the FITS remain lightweight and comfortable. One minor drawback is that the bass response is not as pronounced as some other TWS earbuds, potentially due to the design constraints of the smaller drivers. The Lightspeed technology effectively minimizes latency between visual and auditory cues.
Battery life is rated at approximately ten hours in Bluetooth mode, with an additional twelve hours provided by the charging case. Lightspeed usage reduces battery life to seven hours in the earbuds and eight hours in the case. In mixed-use testing, we observed approximately 9.5 hours of battery life from the earbuds, aligning closely with the manufacturer’s specifications.
The FITS application offers comprehensive EQ settings, allowing users to customize the audio profile to their preferences. One area where the FITS underperformed was in high-noise environments. During air travel, both Nintendo Switch (via Lightspeed) and mobile phone (via Bluetooth) tests revealed insufficient volume and inadequate noise isolation.
The 2700 SEK price point is a significant investment for TWS earbuds, particularly when compared to established competitors like the Sony WF-1000XM4, which retail for around 2200 SEK. However, the FITS offer unparalleled comfort and a custom fit. Considering potential customer support issues with competitors, the FITS present a compelling value proposition.
Integrated microphones facilitate phone calls and online gaming. The microphone quality is commendable, ensuring clear voice transmission during communication.
In conclusion, the FITS from Logitech are recommended for their exceptional comfort, lightweight design, and immersive gaming experience. The overall sound quality is generally excellent. Their performance in extremely noisy environments is a notable limitation.
