OnePlus has introduced the latest addition to its lineup — the OnePlus Buds 3 — entering the market for mid-range true wireless earbuds. The Buds 3 are designed to provide high-quality sound at an affordable price, have long-lasting batteries, AI-powered noise cancellation, and two powerful drivers.
High-fidelity audio and smart noise cancellation
The earbuds boast a wide frequency response thanks to a 10.4mm woofer and 6mm tweeter combo. Support for the LHDC 5.0 codec and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification improves audio quality even more.
The Buds 3 are capable of up to 49dB of noise cancellation and benefit from TÜV Rheinland certification, which seek to efficiently filter out ambient sounds. They use what is called Smart Scene Noise Cancellation 2.0, as opposed to Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, which is said to intelligently adapt the setting based on your surroundings. In contract, Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation customizes the effect for your ear canal for a more personalized experience.
Extended Playback and Fast Charging
However, OnePlus sees the lack of ANC as a plus, since it can allow its users to enjoy up to 10 hours of playback each charge. This can be extended to 44 hours with the charging case. Additionally, a simple 10-minute charge gives you 7 hours of playback, keeping you charged up.
Touch controls and design
The earbuds are equipped with touch controls that let you to easily navigate through songs and adjust volume, providing a smooth listening experience. Available in Metallic Gray and Splendid Blue, OnePlus seeks to catch the attention of audiophiles who are looking for earbuds with a sleek design and a comfortable fit at a budget price. Extensive ear canal data guides the ergonomic design, offering a secure fit for most users, while the lightweight 4.8g earbuds promote fatigue-free listening.
The OnePlus Buds 3 cram impressive functionality into a mid-range device at the $99USD price point. It remains to be seen whether the Buds 3 live up to their promises of high-fidelity music, clever noise cancellation, and long battery life, but they are unquestionably worth considering for anyone looking for excellent audio without breaking the bank.
