OnePlus Buds review

The OnePlus Buds have a tempting price and stellar 30-hour battery life, but it's just not enough to make them a better Apple AirPods alternative.

Great price for true wireless earbuds 30-hour combined battery life Tight integration with OnePlus phones

Uncomfortable to wear Limited noise isolation No always-on assistant

The OnePlus Buds’ ridiculously cheap price and 30-hour battery life make them feel like a mighty appealing alternative to the Apple AirPods, but some major issues with fit, noise isolation and limited voice assistant support prevent them from stealing...

The OnePlus Buds offer respectable audio quality, good battery life, and a neat trick or two – but they're really best for OnePlus owners

OnePlus Buds review: Budget AirPods alternative bring buckets of bass

OnePlus has launched its first pair of true wireless earphones. But are these in-ears any good? Here's what we think...

Great battery life ; Solid wireless performance ; Very affordable price point ; Lots of detail ; Lots of bass

Design is a little uninspiring ; Fit isn't always secure ; Lots of bass ; Touch controls are currently very limited ; Phone calls aren't clear

OnePlus' first attempt at true wireless in-ears has resulted in a pair of earphones that's reliable, convenient and does its job. However, the bass might be a bit too much for some.

OnePlus Buds

The OnePlus Buds look great on paper, but there are compromises - especially if you don't pair them with a OnePlus phone.

OnePlus Buds Review

Affordable ; Good sound quality ; Long battery life

Limited on-device controls ; No EQ

The simple, stylish OnePlus Buds earphones offer very good wire-free sound quality for significantly less money than Apple's AirPods.

OnePlus Buds review: cheap AirPods for OnePlus phones

There are no ear tips, so a lot depends on how well they'll fit you.

Appealing $79 price ; Very good battery life ; IPX4 water and sweat resistance

Rigid design won’t work for all ears ; Like AirPods, you’ll deal with a lot of outside noise ; Requires a OnePlus phone to customize controls

The new $79 OnePlus Buds look similar to Apple’s AirPods with a rigid, hard plastic design. They offer good battery life, decent sound, and a cheap way for OnePlus owners to get into true wireless earbuds.

OnePlus Buds review

The OnePlus Buds are promising wireless earbuds held back by exclusivities.

Strong wireless performance ; Audio better than expected ; Great charging case ; Gaming mode lowers latency

Customization and special features exclusive to OnePlus owners ; Mediocre call quality ; Touch controls need more work ; Zero noise isolation

Colorful, loud, and wirelessly powerful, the OnePlus Buds cater mostly to those who own a OnePlus smartphone.

OnePlus Buds Truly Wireless Review

The OnePlus Buds Truly Wireless are well-built, decently comfortable truly wireless earbuds. They're designed to be paired with OnePlus phones, and you can only ...

Well-built, portable design.

Terrible noise isolation. Disappointing microphone recording quality. Inconsistent bass and treble delivery. Not stable enough for intense exercise. No sound customization options. Sub-par continuous battery life.

The OnePlus Buds are middling for mixed usage. Their bright sound profile lacks a lot of low-bass, which may be disappointing for fans of neutral sound. Also, they don't isolate against background noises typically found in an office or during your...

OnePlus Buds Review

With the new Buds, OnePlus is looking to make a splash on the budget wireless earbuds market, much like the company did with its OnePlus Nord for the midrange smartphone market. But are the OnePlus Buds the best overall option out there? I spent time...

Good sound comparable to AirPods; Great value for the price; Quick initial pairing

Only one earbud may start playing if you didn't keep them in the case; Case and earbuds design is a bit thicker and less refined than AirPods
