Even after Carl Pei left, OnePlus has maintained its remarkable reputation. Over the past few years, the OnePlus smartphone has seen both highs and lows. The green line issue was OnePlus’s biggest setback, and I believe the company resolved it, by providing free screen replacement which was a good move and also increased its reputation. The one unseen thing is how good OnePlus audio products are, for eg its wireless bullet series is a massive hit with balanced audio and base. Today we are going to review the OnePlus Buds Pro 3, so read the review carefully if you are thinking of buying this product.
A set of wireless earbuds with an ultra-premium design and leather finish, excellent Hi-Res-certified audio quality with LHDC codec, and several functions are available for $179.99/Rs. 11,999 per pair. This review of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 outlines several reasons why anybody searching for a high-quality set of wireless earphones with Active Noise Cancellation should consider OnePlus.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3: Design
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 costs around $180 / Rs.11,999 which is costly for Indians and might not be for other countries. Even at this price, OnePlus delivers a premium design, a matte finish case with metallic edges and leather coating in front and back. The same coating we already saw in the OnePlus 13.
The case is IPX4 certified which is for dust and water resistance. and earbuds are IP55 certified. The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 has a secure fit. I had no trouble wearing these at all in the standard ear tip size, S. Other sizes are also available, there is no problem of earbuds popping out of the ear if you are exercising.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3: Audioย quality
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 has an 11mm woofer driver and 6mm tweeter driver and has Bluetooth v5.4 which is great. After using it for a month I would say the audio quality is very good. The soundscape produced by in-ear monitors is often fairly limited, as though the sound is slightly muffled. Their structure and the blockage in your ear canal are intrinsically linked to this. Fortunately, OnePlus did a great job at reducing this impact.
The sound produced by earbuds is rich and very detailed. If you listen for long hours then it might hurt you a little because it uses the LHDC format. For those who don’t know what LHDC is let me explain, LHDC stands for Low-Latency High-Definition Audio Codec is a Bluetooth codec that allows high-resolution audio streaming. In short with this, you will get lossless audio quality. offers high-quality wireless audio. The microphone quality is great whether you are indoor or outdoor.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3: ANC
In the majority of cases, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3’s Active Noise Cancellation worked admirably. Either leave it to the algorithm in automatic mode or choose from three intensity settings. For me, I’ve consistently set the manual mode at the maximum level. The efficiency of OnePlus’ ANC in terms of voices shocked me. I felt completely at ease in my little world of stillness, even at my noisy, German-speaking office in Berlin. This type of noise is typically the most difficult for wireless earphones to successfully suppress.
For continuous, solid-borne noise (such as footfall, computer keyboards, automobiles, etc.), the ANC was acceptable. They weren’t significantly more effective than other models in this price range, though, in my opinion.
I found the OnePlus Buds Pro 3’s transparency setting to be natural. There is no “Speak to chat” feature on the earphones that instantly transitions to transparency mode when you speak. I also found that sometimes my voice sounded a little muffled. With the sounds of people surrounding me, I didn’t encounter this issue.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3: Batteryย
The battery is decent you can easily use it for 7 hours if listening at 60% volume and using ANC. Only one side of the casing is capable of wireless charging. Although there is nothing particularly wrong with it, the front of the cover is where you set it on your wireless charger.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 Price in India
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 Price in India is Rs. 11,999. Users can buy this product from the OnePlus website or Amazon website.
Verdict
Since the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are Hi-Res certified, have an HD Bluetooth codec with LHDC, have excellent Active Noise Cancellation, and have a very high-end design, I believe OnePlus once again provides excellent value for the money. It has a wide variety of characteristics as well.
However, with Jabra’s exit from the consumer audio industry, I believe the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is a great option at about $180 / Rs.11,999. When many Indians might not buy because of price which makes sense you do get a lot of features but it’s pricy. If you have a budget, then you can definitely buy it.
