This is understandable though considering how much circuitry they contain inside. Aside from being bigger, the PowerBuds Pro are also a lot more durable than the AirPods Pro. They come with an IP55 rating which means they’re both water and dust-resistant. This way, you can take them to your sweaty gym sessions and outdoor runs without any fear of breaking them. The AirPods Pro only have an IPX4 rating which means they can’t survive anything more than sweat and light rain.
As for their charging cases, they bear a striking resemblance to each other as well. Not only do they both have the same rounded rectangular shape, but their controls are found in the same spots as well. The LED indicator is out front, the charging port is at the bottom, and the pairing button is at the back.

You can also tinker around with the EQ yourself via the Zepp app if you want a customized sound.

The Adaptive mode seems to be the most helpful as all you have to do is turn it on and it will automatically adjust the ANC for you depending on your surroundings. Similar to the AirPods Pro, the PowerBuds Pro also have a transparency mode which allows the mic to filter in external sounds like oncoming traffic and fellow outdoor joggers.
