OnePlus Buds 3 in Ear TWS Bluetooth Earbuds with Upto 49dB Smart Adaptive Noise Cancellation,Hi-Res Sound Quality,Sliding Volume Control,10mins for 7Hours Fast Charging with Upto 44Hrs Playback(Gray)

Its so good and practically effective u don’t have to switch to two different devices it automatically connects and it is really worth the price. Music is clear even at loud volume with no cracks and very comfortable in ears

Build and Design:Very good in-hand feel. Good and sturdy build. Feels like a long lasting one for sure. A good fit for ears. Feels lightweight and can be plugged in for longer durations.Sound:If you're a Bass lover, you'll get addicted soon. The detailed clarity of notes is breathtaking. Not of the high end quality but atleast safe to say it exceeded expectations at this price range.On flipside, tha bass overpowers the vocal strength, so keep an eye on it.On the app, I would recommend to turn the "Oneplus 3d Audio" mode on at all times. Will be a wonderful experience for audiophiles.ANC:Powerful noise-cancelling even with heavy outdoor noises. 3 modes of ANC plus transparency mode as well. You'll feel the deafening silence while indoors if tuned to Max.App Support:Hey Melody app is a gamechanger. Allows you to have numerous customisations. It's quick and accurate. Always check on the firmware updates for better listening.Portability:Safe to carry around. Pocket friendly as well as grippy at most times. The matte finish allows grippy handling. I would have loved the same for the earbuds as well. But overall ain't complaining.It got a slider for volume control which is a welcoming upgrade.Battery life:Excellent battery life even with ANC on. Can go without charge even for a week with moderate usage. Fast charging support as well.Flops:1) The earbuds got a glossy finish. So a fingerprint magnet for sure.2) It supports LHDC but not LDAC. So phones other than Oneplus/Oppo/Realme and some Xiaomi phones don't support LHDC. A bit disappointing though.3) Not enough ingress protection (IP) for the case alone. IPX4 is not a welcoming move.Verdict:An all-rounder TWS with a premium look and features at a budget price. With the Oneplus 3d Audio you'll feel being in a private concert tuned exclusively for your ear's needs. LDAC would have made it a must buy. Rest assured, this is a blockbuster!A Highly recommended product.

Ear buds are great. Comfortable fit. Noise cancellation is good. Seemed a bit bulkier than air pods pro but ok, comparing the price difference.

I’ve previously used OnePlus Z and Z2 neckbands since early 2020. While they were decent overall, I often faced issues with the mic — background sounds were picked up excessively, and the person on the other end would hear a lot of noise. They also weren’t the best for walking or running, as sweating and foot-thumping noises were amplified.The OnePlus Buds 3 feels like a solid upgrade.Pros:Excellent Battery Backup – easily lasts through long sessions without frequent charging.Noise Suppression Works Well – significantly reduces outside disturbance, making calls and music much clearer.Lower Latency – less lag compared to the older OnePlus neckbands.Cons:Slightly Heavy – can feel uncomfortable if used for more than an hour continuously.Noise Cancellation Trade-off – while effective, it consumes more battery and creates a “vacuum effect” in the ears, which may cause mild discomfort or nausea for some users.Verdict:The OnePlus Buds 3 is a very good product overall, offering strong performance, great noise suppression, and improved usability over neckbands. However, the slight weight and ear discomfort during prolonged use are points to consider.

I got these during the Great Amazon Sale for around 4.5k and I believe it to be worth every penny.This is my second pair of TWS and I am not an experienced tws reviewer or anything. Just the experience of a common user. Below are my detailed thoughts about this TWS.Build 4/5 - Very good build. Sturdy and solid design. The matte finish helps keep any dirt and fingerprint away from the case. Although the buds are not free from fingerprints and dirt.Keep in mind that they are oval shaped and the casing is oval as well. So round eartips might not fit the casing.Comfort 2/5 - Totally subjective. My ears aren't made for oval shaped earbuds. The buds press hard around the crus helix (look it up) and it gets sore if I wear the earbuds constantly for more than 20-30 mins. After a couple of week, the pain is less. I have tried different size eartips to no avail. I am looking for covers for buds that might help.ANC - 4.5/5 - Dont have any issue with this. Enough and perfect for my use case. I use it indoors mostly. Never had any problem with external noise.Features 5/5 - I have a OnePlus phone so I don't even need a third party app like HeyMelody. The functions are baked into the Bluetooth earbud settings. All the necessary settings can be set through Bluetooth settings. For other phones, HeyMelody app offers all the necessary functions.Gestures work almost flawlessly. At time too flawlessly as even mistouches get registered. Google assistant works great.Battery 5/5 - Just charged once in 10 days. Although I am not an avid user due to the comfort user. But usually will last you long enough without any worries even for heavy users.Call quality 4/5 - Havent had any issues. Havent tested thoroughly though. Might update later.Sound Quality - 9/10 (for the price)The rating has a few caveats. So far I have learnt that having compatible devices make a lot of difference. If you have a device of the same company in this case OnePlus your experience will be much better. These buds sounds better with my phone than with my Ipad while its never the case for other earphones.Coming to the quality of the soundBass - 10/10. If you're a basshead, close your eyes and get these. This is where it shines. Everything is catering to the bass.Mids 7.5/10 - Subdued by the bass. With equalizer you can make it better. Although I didnt have any issue hearing vocals, some instruments can be subdued by the bass. Drums dont sound authentic. For rock and metal songs the instruments sound mushy.Highs 8/10 - Not too bright. Sounds Pleasant. Unlike many earbuds it doesn't have the hiss in the higher frequencies.Clarity - 9/10 - This honestly surprised me. Never expected a TWS in this range to sound this clear.Sound Stage 7.5/10 - Not bad at all. Not as wide as some IEMs at this range but inderstable. Surround sound can improve the staging. But decreases the quality and clarity.Volume -5/5 This is a huge issue with many TWS. They are way too timid. This might depend on the compatible devices though. In my phone its really loud even with 50% volume. My last pair Oppo Enco air 2 were really timid even in full volume.I own 2 more IEMsKZ Zsn Pro (2k) and Simgot EW200 (4k)In terms of bass it is better than both. And I prefer this over the KZ in every category. Thats saying something for a TWS that it is beating out budget IEMs. I have heard it can compete with the like of 7z and Moondrop Chu.Although the Simgot is way ahead in terms of clarity, mids and sound Stage which is understandable. But I prefer the OP buds 3 for pop and hip hop because of that amazing bass.Too long a review. Hope this helps in your decision to purchase these.Buy if -Have OnePlus device.Bass lover/ Pop, hip hop, edm, bollywood listener.Needs best value, features, build.Dont buy if -If oval shaped buds dont fit you.More of a metal head.
