OnePlus Launches the Buds 3
OnePlus launched their new wireless Bud – the OnePlus Buds 3 – in India, Europe, and North America. Incorporating a cutting-edge, flagship-level coaxial integrated design, the Buds 3 offer exceptional, impactful, and well-balanced sound through a dual-driver acoustic system. The bespoke audio experience is further refined through calibrated audio algorithms that reach new heights with adaptive Active Noise Cancellation. The Buds 3 also guarantee all-round reliability with prolonged battery life, dual connection, ultra-low latency, and high durability.
With the tagline “Harmony Unfiltered,” the Buds 3 take OnePlus’ “Never Settle” mantra and combine impeccable sound quality with a fast and smooth user experience to deliver the ultimate in wireless audio.
“With their spectacular sound performance and AI-based noise cancellation, the Buds 3 represent the pinnacle of mid-range earbuds and our commitment to bringing users a latency-free and smooth listening experience,” said Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus. “By balancing premium audio and accessibility, we are thrilled to offer tech-savvy explorers a new option for wireless audio that exceeds their expectations in every possible way.”
Flagship Sound Quality
The OnePlus Buds 3’s exceptional audio experience begins with flagship sound quality powered by dual dynamic drivers and a state-of-the-art coaxial integrated design. By combining the power of a 10.4mm woofer with the precision of a 6mm tweeter, the Buds 3 deliver an ultra-wide 15Hz to 40KHz frequency response, offering commanding bass, exquisite treble, and soul-touching vocals. Thanks to the inclusion of the LHDC 5.0 Bluetooth codec, the buds have also been certified by JAS (Japan Audio Society) as a Hi-Res Audio Wireless device, ensuring the seamless transmission of high-resolution audio at levels similar to wired audio solutions.
For even more immersive audio experiences, the OnePlus Buds 3 are equipped with 3D Audio technology that replicates the intricate acoustic nuances of 3D spatial environments like concert halls or recording studios, while enveloping users in a rich and immersive tapestry of sound. OnePlus’ personalized audio profile technology, Audio ID 2.0, has also been fine-tuned to help users find their own sound on the Buds 3.
Custom Noise Cancellation
Matching the flagship sound quality on the OnePlus Buds 3 is equally impressive calibrated noise cancellation technology. With up to 49dB of noise cancellation, the Buds 3 minimize ambient noise to create an oasis of tranquillity in which users can immerse themselves and revel in their music and other entertainment without any disturbances. This high-performance noise cancellation has also earned the Buds 3 a TÜV Rheinland certification as a High-Performance Noise Cancellation device, helping them to stand out even further in the crowded TWS market.
Leveraging built-in microphones and OnePlus’ in-house algorithms, Smart Scene Noise Cancellation 2.0 can automatically choose the most suitable setting for users to enjoy optimized sound based on their surroundings. Complementing this, Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation can automatically analyze a user’s ear canal and tailor the optimal noise cancellation effect for a custom, high-quality audio experience that puts an end to the need for manual adjustments.
With Transparency Mode, users can enjoy flagship audio quality while talking with friends or being more aware of their surroundings, allowing seamless connection with the outside world without needing to remove the earbuds.
Fast and Smooth
OnePlus’ commitment to providing fast and smooth user experiences shines through on the Buds 3 thanks to dual connection powered by Google Fast Pair. When connecting to two devices – be it smartphones, tablets, or laptops running Android, iOS, or Windows – the earbuds can automatically switch between audio from different applications to ensure seamless connectivity and enhanced versatility for effortless multitasking. With a minimum latency of just 94ms, the Buds 3 are also perfect for free-flowing and immersive gaming experiences.
During calls, the enhanced AI call algorithm along with the anti-wind design further preserves the original sound and allow voices to remain clear, audible, and steady. Intuitive control over the OnePlus Buds 3 is also offered through a touch control area that can be used to adjust the volume by sliding for a truly smooth and effortless listening experience.
All-round Reliability
With Active Noise Cancellation disabled, the OnePlus Buds 3 offer up to 10 hours of non-stop playback on a fully charged earbud, with up to 44 hours of total listening time available via the charging case. Fast charging capabilities provide up to 7 hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge, so users can enjoy uninterrupted usage, flexibility, and a burdenless audio experience without worrying about having to frequently charge the Buds 3.
In addition to a long-lasting battery and fast charging, the Buds 3 also excel in a variety of scenarios thanks to their IP55 water and dust resistance and high durability. Whether used for long-distance travel, outdoor activities, gym workouts, or just everyday occasions around the home or office, the Buds 3 are a reliable companion for everyday adventures.
A Perfect Match of Modern Elegance and Ergonomic Comfort
Continuing OnePlus’ modern elegant design philosophy, the Buds 3 are crafted with a metallic coating and matte finish for a sleek and streamlined design that elevates the earbuds both visually and physically. With each bud weighing just 4.8g, users can also enjoy a burden-free experience and uninterrupted audio for even longer.
The Buds 3 have undergone extensive testing to accommodate various ear shapes and sensitivities to an extreme level of precision, ensuring they remain snug and comfortable for every individual user.
