OnePlus Buds 3 Review

Even without the Pro branding, the OnePlus Buds 3 are pro-level true wireless earbuds without the associated cost.

Premium audio features ; Prominent bass ; Support for LHCD 5.0 ; Comfortable to wear

Middling ANC performance ; Battery life varies greatly

The OnePlus Buds 3 may not sport the Pro branding of their predecessors, but they’re still very much pro-level buds with excellent audio performance, premium smart features and solid – if not varying – battery life. They don’t always achieve their...

OnePlus Buds 3 review: more than just a gift to receive with a OnePlus phone

Packing features, but the bass-heavy presentation won't please everyone

Flagship features in budget buds ; Lightweight design ; Impressive noise cancellation

Middling battery life ; Sound is too bass-heavy ; Slow to pair

The OnePlus Buds 3 arrive with a very reasonable price and rich set of features, as well as a slick look, comfortable fit, and strong active noise cancellation. However, the slightly overbearing bass, as well as a few issues with the general slickness...

OnePlus Buds 3 review: budget friendly wireless earbuds with clout

If you want a decent pair of earbuds with good design, the OnePlus Buds 3 should be on your list

3D Audio is brilliant ; Beautiful design ; Slim case ; Fast charging

App is still poor ; Sound is good, not great

While the market for wireless earbuds is crawling with competition, getting the basics right is the first port of call. Great design, decent sound quality and a comfy fit? Check, check and check. For around £100, there are few better options out there.

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro Review: AirPods Pro Vibes for the Cheap Seats

OnePlus' latest budget buds offer solid performance in a familiar package.

Comfy, lightweight design. Coveted features like multipoint pairing and noise canceling. Clear, bass-forward sound. Expansive stereo image. IP55 weatherproofing. Utrafast charging. Dedicated app for customization and EQ. Google Fast Pair+.

Yet another AirPods Pro clone. Battery life suffers heavily with noise canceling. Odd default control layout. Noise canceling and transparency mode are just OK.

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro Review

Affordable ; Relatively effective noise cancellation ; Natural sound ; Compact and comfortable design

Finicky controls ; Battery life could be better ; Mic isn't clear

The OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro provide a comfortable fit and rich sound quality for a reasonable price, though competitors have an edge on battery life.

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro Review: Low Price, High Value, No Regrets - SlashGear

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro are shockingly inexpensive, especially considering how decent they work as a pair of ANC earbuds.

Chic looks and well-built ; Light and comfortable to wear ; Vibrant audio with bass punch ; Decent noise cancellation and transparency ; Battery life is reliably good ; Multi-device connectivity

Audio seal is prone to leakage ; LHDC codec support is missing ; No Microsoft SwiftPair support ; 3D audio reserved for OnePlus phones ; Audio signature not suited for delicate instruments ; Game mode doesn’t really make a difference

OnePlus Buds 3 review: light, comfortable, bland

OnePlus Buds 3 are out and they are... OK? The noise cancelation sounds more impressive on paper. And the audio quality is... fine.

Very light and comfortable ; Multipoint - connect to two devices ; Good battery life ; Low latency

Noise cancelation is weak ; Room for improvement in audio quality

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Review

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 offers a bass-heavy sound experience with muddied details.

Comfortable fit for long use ; IP55 rating ; Seamless dual connectivity ; battery life ; Looks good, comfortable fit ; IP55 Rating ; Dual connectivity ; battery life

Muddied sound, lack of details ; Unsatisfactory ANC ; No IP rating for the case ; No lossless codec support

It turns out there can be too much bass, especially if the overall tuning is off-balance. Granted, there is a lack of detail in the sound experience the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 offers, and the noise cancellation performance is inadequate. However, that may...
