Fitbit made its name developing fitness-friendly wearables to help promote an active lifestyle. The Fitbit Flyer is perhaps the biggest step away from that original vision, albeit a completely natural one to make. These compact earphones are designed to seamlessly connect with the Fitbit Ionic smartwatch, but can also be considered for anyone looking for a pair of performance sports earphones.
With solid sound, decent battery life and enough customisation options to fit almost any set of ears, the biggest question hovering over the Fitbit Flyer fitness earphones is "why?" Why should you choose the Fitbit Flyer instead of any of the millions of other pairs of fitness headphones from brands that have a long history of making headphones?
And it’s this question that Fitbit doesn’t quite answer. Sure, owning a pair of Flyers won’t leave you disappointed on the sound quality front and will keep your music pumping all through your workout... but so will practically every other pair of Bluetooth fitness earphones.
Fitbit Ionic users get the ability to quickly pair the Flyer with the smartwatch, but the downside there is that the Ionic is still a far cry from the Apple Watch as a music-playing workout companion, and so the benefit is limited.
Fitbit owners may choose to keep their wearables in the family, but for anyone else considering fitness headphones, Fitbit does a good job performance-wise but lacks a real wow-factor to stand above the rest of the pack.
The Fitbit Flyer earphones are available now for an RRP of $199.95.
