Buy the Apple AirPods Pro 3.

One of these actually blocks noise and survives daily use, the other is a $28 gamble on a name you've never heard.

What was compared

  • ZIUTY Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth Headphones, ANC/ENC Noise Cancelling, Ear Buds with Multi... — $27.99
  • Apple AirPods Pro 3 Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation | Live Translation, He... — $199.00

Five reasons

  1. 1. Cuts real noise, not just the spec sheet

    AirPods Pro 3 measured 90% noise reduction in independent tests, roughly 2x the old Pro 2 and beating Bose and Sony. ZIUTY's ANC reviews are mixed at best, with some buyers reporting it barely works or causes glitches.

  2. 2. Calls that stay clear, not muffled

    Reviewers single out the AirPods Pro 3 mics as a big step up, built for clean calls in noisy places. ZIUTY reviews flag sound dropping off at distance, which is exactly when you need calls to hold up.

  3. 3. Health tracking that's actually validated

    AirPods Pro 3 add a heart rate sensor for workouts and a clinically-backed hearing aid feature, real tools for runners or anyone with mild hearing loss. ZIUTY has none of this, just touch controls and EQ presets.

  4. 4. Backed by Apple, not a random factory

    AirPods Pro 3 come with Apple's global repair network and AppleCare+ options. ZIUTY sells through a third-party Amazon seller with a 3.8-star average across 429 reviews, meaning quality control is a coin flip.

  5. 5. Yes it costs $171 more. Buy it anyway.

    If you just want cheap earbuds for the gym and don't care about ANC or call quality, ZIUTY's price is real and fine, that's a legitimate buyer. But for daily use over years, better noise cancelling, mics and Apple support pay for themselves, and that's most people buying earbuds today.
