OnePlus continues to expand its audio portfolio and has today unveiled its first pair of truly wireless earphones, the OnePlus Buds, alongside the OnePlus Nord in India. The OnePlus Buds boast a half-in-ear design, touch controls, 30-hours of battery life, and fast-charging support. It has been priced quite aggressively to compete against similar offerings from Realme and Xiaomi in India.
Starting off with the design, OnePlus Buds are seated in a rounded charging case that seems to have a matte finish on the exterior. You will find a LED battery indicator on the front and a device switch/ pairing button on the rear. The earbuds, on the other hand, have a half-in-ear design (similar to many offerings other there). The circular pattern on the earbuds may remind you of previous-gen Bullets Wireless earphones but the chrome ring at the bottom gives off AirPods vibes.
Sound Quality
“Users will enjoy the OnePlus Buds’ quality sound, Warp Charge capabilities, long battery life, and seamless connection to keep their phone calls, music, and podcasts playing effortlessly while on the go,” said OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau in an official press release.
Connectivity
Touch Controls
OnePlus Buds arrive with customizable touch controls (circular part on the earbuds) in tow. You can double-tap to play/ pause the music and long-press to possibly call upon Google Assistant. The company did not go into the details, so we will have to test it out ourselves and update you on the same.
