OnePlus launched the OnePlus Buds Pro 3, a stylish and feature-packed earbud that challenges Apple's AirPods Pro. With a new design, advanced noise cancellation, and Google's Spatial Audio technology, these earbuds offer a premium experience at an affordable price.

New design and features

The case of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 looks similar to that of the AirPods, storing them vertically inside. However, the colour, material, and finish (CMF) on the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is better as compared to the AirPods Pro that makes it feel more IPX5.

The stem of the earbuds features a glossy finish while the head boasts a matte look. You could control volume and playback by swiping and tapping on the stem.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 comes with up to 50 dB active noise cancellation and an adaptive mode in which active noise cancellation is on automatic adjustment. Ensuring you could concentrate on your music or calls, and nothing else.

Long battery life

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 supports up to 43 hours of total listening time with their case. They also support Google Fast Pair, dual device connection, Bluetooth 5.4, and wireless charging, making them a convenient choice.
