OnePlus Buds Pro3

TL;DR: Great earbuds, good bass when compared to previous earbuds, comfortable, with impressive volume and ANC. Good value for the price. I'm honestly really impressed with these earbuds. I've been needing new ones since my Galaxy buds have been dying on me and were never particularly comfortable. I was trying to decide between these and the Edifier NeoBuds Plus (I have a few other Edifier products and enjoy them) but ultimately settled on these after reading reviews on TechRadar and Reddit. Right away, the design is very nice. I've always struggled with smaller earbuds staying in my ears, and I've had no problems with these so far; they fit well. The case looks very nice too and has a very slight textured grip so they're not easy to drop. The sound quality is quite nice. Vocals are clear and lows are nice and punchy without being overpowering. They even have a "Golden Sound" option that configures an EQ specific to your hearing ability that only takes a few minutes to set up and improves the sound quality greatly. I don't typically use ANC since I need to hear at work, but when I have used it I was thoroughly impressed. I have an AC that sits about a foot from my desk and with ANC active I could not hear it at all with music playing and only very slightly with nothing playing. The only real qualm I have with these are the touch controls. The manual that comes with them is incorrect; it states that they have single touch/taps but it's more of a squeeze (their functionality app does say squeeze not tap, but it was a little confusing out of the box). It takes a little to get used to but it's kind of grown on me since you won't accidentally change a setting or song if you need to readjust them like with other touch earbuds. Overall, I'm very happy with the OPBs. The battery life appears to be pretty good: with just one earbud on transparency mode it seems to be around 10%/hour for around 10 hours of constant playback. I'd definitely recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for a good quality pair at a reasonable price.

First off, I never wrote reviews: Awful. The sound is good and the ANC is mediocre. The Bluetooth connection is atrocious. They're supposed to be multipoint connection but they will only connect to 1 decide at a time, even after a factory reset. If you pull a bud out to answer a call, you physically have to go through your Bluetooth connect and connect the buds, by that time, you've missed the call. If you have any other bud that works, keep them. I love OnePlus years ago (phones) but these buds are not useable and going back. I bought these to replace my lost Jabra 75t. I'm going to searching online for another pair of old Jabras because these buds are awful. Don't buy.

Far superior ear buds. I bought these as an upgrade from my almost 7 year old Jabra active 75t earbuds. I never even thought of upgrading my jabras as they were so good over the years. I never had a single issue and I used and abused them from work (plumbing), yard work, gym sweat, and I even accidentally ran them through a full load in my washing machine, in the case, and they still worked the same lol. Only reason for the update was the little magnet on the case stopped holding the lid closed, so I figured I’d keep them just for work and when I have to get messy. So I did extensive research between Reddit forums, pickyaudio YouTube videos and reading a million online reviews and I narrowed down 2 picks. One plus buds pro 3 and the nothing ear 3. I first bought the one plus buds pro 3 and I was definitely Impressed with them all around, amazing sounds quality, amazing connectivity, clarity was great, and no issues with battery life. I just received the nothing 3 (2025) to compare the two and the nothing 3 doesn’t hold a candle to the one plus pro buds 3. The sound is superior, the call quality is better, the case feels more substantial, and the overall specs are rated better (other than no LDAC for android which I have iPhone so doesn’t matter to me). For the price I mean you really can’t find a better ear bud. My only other choice would be the new Bose quiet comfort ultra 2 (2025), which I still might buy just to compare, but for the price difference the Bose would have to be 100% better at everything for almost double the cost, otherwise it’d be a waste and just buying a brand name at that point. I have Bose speakers in my 2010 Audi and they make fabulous speakers for cars, better than anything I’ve experienced in my life from “factory”, and I’ve had nice cars over the years. So, unbiased, unpaid honest review is to just buy these and see for yourself. I will say though, I am sad jabra stopped developing earbuds due to the competitor market saturation because they were years ahead of their time, and I will still use them until they die but I just don’t see them failing, they’re like the terminator in the world of earbuds. My recommendation is if you can find a brand new pair of jabra 75t active ear buds from new, BUY THEM ASAP. As they will most likely outlive you and your entire family (lol). But also buy the one plus buds pro 3 for a upgrade all around (call quality, sound, bass, ANC, fastest connection ever, comfort). And no, I wasn’t paid for this review but I’ll take any offers @ One plus! Nice job.

These sound great, fit well, I live the case. Very sleek and portable. I wish the actual ear bud battery was a little better.

Love these buds. Way better than the New Airpods Pro. Way better sound. Super comfortable. Only downside is they do start slipping out if I sweat alot. For sweaty workouts I use my Jabra 8 Elites. Other than that, these are my go-to earn buds. Oneplus doesn't get enough credit for their quality products.
