OnePlus Buds

Great price for true wireless earbuds 30-hour combined battery life Tight integration with OnePlus phones

Uncomfortable to wear Limited noise isolation No always-on assistant

The OnePlus Buds’ ridiculously cheap price and 30-hour battery life make them feel like a mighty appealing alternative to the Apple AirPods, but some major issues with fit, noise isolation and limited voice assistant support prevent them from stealing...

Appealing $79 price ; Very good battery life ; IPX4 water and sweat resistance

Rigid design won’t work for all ears ; Like AirPods, you’ll deal with a lot of outside noise ; Requires a OnePlus phone to customize controls

The new $79 OnePlus Buds look similar to Apple’s AirPods with a rigid, hard plastic design. They offer good battery life, decent sound, and a cheap way for OnePlus owners to get into true wireless earbuds.

Strong wireless performance ; Audio better than expected ; Great charging case ; Gaming mode lowers latency

The OnePlus Buds are middling for mixed usage. Their bright sound profile lacks a lot of low-bass, which may be disappointing for fans of neutral sound. Also, they don't isolate against background noises typically found in an office or during your...

Good sound comparable to AirPods; Great value for the price; Quick initial pairing

Only one earbud may start playing if you didn't keep them in the case; Case and earbuds design is a bit thicker and less refined than AirPods

Fantastic sound quality thanks to dual DAC, dual drivers, and 3D audio ; ANC is also very impressive ; Simpler design with a better charging case than its predecessor ; Very secure fit and good wearing comfort

AI translations and voice assistant remain OnePlus-exclusive ; High pressure due to the silicone tips can be uncomfortable ; Advertised runtime of 11h only without ANC and with AAC codec ; No wireless charging support

OnePlus offers particularly clear and precise sound quality with its new in-ear earbuds. The small and comfortable earbuds not only have two drivers, but OnePlus also uses separate signals from two signal converters. Together with the effective 3D...
