Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes.
Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time. Raycon Fitness Earbuds sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out .

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 3mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)

The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) microphones are 6,
more than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
