OnePlus Buds Pro 3 True Wireless Stereo (TWS) headphones have been thrown in India. These audio wearables, with a price of RS. 11,999, dual sports controllers that include 11 mm woofers and 6 mm tweeters. They admit up to 50DB of active noise cancellation (ANC), LHDC 5.0 audio codec and double device connectivity. Only headphones come with an IP55 rating and admit the slide tactile control function. It is stated that headphones have a total battery life of up to 43 hours. All these characteristics look good on paper, but do they support performance? Let’s explore that in the review below.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 Design and Characteristics: Compact and Classic
- Size – 33.60 x 21.15 x 25.00 mm (sprouts); 64.70 x 52.45 x 25.75 mm (case)
- Weight – 5.28g (each outbreak); 61.13g (Total with case)
- Water and dust resistance: IP55 (only shoots)
- Colors – Lunar Radiance, midnight opus
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 has a comfortable design in the ear with silicone tips. Instead of the three usual options of the size of the silicone tip, we obtain an additional option. They come in sizes Xs, S, M and L and the medium key option ready for use is better. The headphones, with a rounded stem, have a double tone finish. Since the headphones allow sliding function, the specific area of the stem that reads the slide command is placed to the front (when the headphones are plugged in). It is marked by a column of small horizontal lines that help users identify the place easily without much loose ball.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 offers a comfortable adjustment, suitable for long -term use
Offered in two basic tones of lunar radiance (white) and midnight opus (black), the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 headphones come in a compact box and easy to wear in the form of pebbles. There is nothing striking or exaggerated in this product and shines with the elegance of its simplicity, either in terms of hardware or performance. The load case comes with a Unibody plastic construction that has a leather texture. It may seem to have a vegan leather finish, but it doesn’t.
The case does not have an IP rating, but the headphones come with a construction with IP55 classification. An individual headset measures 33.60 x 21.15 x 25.00 mm size and weighs 5.28 grams. The case measures 64.70 x 52.45 x 25.75 mm size and together with the headphones, weighs 61.38 grams. Although this is heavier than other portable audio devices in the range, the weight is not considerable and definitely does not prevent functionality.
Application and specifications of OnePlus Buds Pro 3: Excellent elementary
- Driver – 11 mm + 6 mm
- Complementary application – Hey Melody
- Gesture controls: yes (tightening, slide)
Like the product itself, the design of the Companion Hey Melody application is simple and easy to use. It allows users to access the management of noise and equalization cancellation settings. With compatible audio formats, you can also access the space audio function from this application. It also has the Golden Sound function, which with the help of a series of hearing channel and hearing tests, offers users a personalized sound experience.
The Hey Melody application has a simple and easy to follow design
You can customize tactile controls in the headphones rod using the Hey Melody application. Instead of the TAP function, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 admits compression and sliding functions. The different commands include quick squeeze, double squeeze, triple and squeezed and holding. There is also a slide command, which is predetermined to control the volume by sliding a finger up or down the stem. You can also customize the slide command to reflect the “switch track” action or turn off the function completely.
In terms of characteristics, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 obtains the correct basic concepts. Similar to the previous OnePlus Buds Pro 2 (review), the newly launched TWS headphones come with 11 mm woofers and 6 mm tweeters. However, instead of a DAC with dual conductors as in the oldest model, the Pro 3 Buds obtain dual dacs. Why is this improvement notable? DAC means analog digital converter, which helps convert digital audio information into real audio signals we listen to. This is integral in the final quality of the sound we experience and the change has made the difference. We will discuss the solid performance of the headphones shortly.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 admits up to 50DB ANC, 94 ms of low latency and it is stated that they offer a battery life of up to 43 hours. The load case has a 566 mAh battery, while individual headphones transport 58 mAh cells. Only headphones come with an IP55 classification for dust resistance and splashes. The headphones admit Bluetooth 5.4, double disposal connection, rapid google match and USB port connectivity type C.
The TWS headphones come with four silicone ears tips sizes
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 Performance and battery life: Dulcet and Detailed
- ANC – 50DB
- Battery – 58 mAh (outbreak), 566 mAh (case)
- LOAD – WIRED (USB Type C) and Wireless (QI Technology)
- Bluetooth – 5.4
In addition to the ON, OFF and transparent modes, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 allows users to choose between mild, moderate and maximum ANC modes as well. With the AF lit, the different modes are intended to deal with various degrees of disturbances. In addition, there is a way to govern them all, the intelligent mode, which helps assess the environmental noise level and automatically establish the proper level of noise cancellation. Otherwise, you can change among the modes using the Hey Melody Companion application. However, I did not experience any marked difference between the different modes ‘in’. But noise cancellation was decent. In addition to some low frequency sounds, the headphones managed to mask most of the environmental alterations properly.
The sound experience offered by OnePlus Buds Pro 3 headphones is a harmonious mixture of balanced and detailed. You can access a six -band customizable equalizer through the Hey Melody application. Most of the time, the audio output you get is very rounded and sweet. He obtains five prejustments of equalization backed by Dynaudio: presented Balanced, Bold, Serenade, Bass and Dynaudio. The last one is promised to replicate the sound of the Dynaudio speakers with perfectly balanced serious, media and acute. I don’t know if the prejustment does that, but it’s nice.
Unibody plastic load box has a leather textured finish
The bold mode highlights the most crispy and higher notes and offers a melodious concord with a track like House of the Rising Sun for animals. With the Serenade mode, which focuses on the voices, we can feel the moving and almost raw emotions in songs like Francis Forever by Mitski or Lost On You (Live) of LP. The performance of the headphones is also good, with clear and defined sounds and without hard edges or distortions. Most of Light Em Up songs by Fall Out Boys to Freedom by John Batiste are lovely listening in bass mode. If you are a fan of stereo mixtures, you may be stunned for how pronounced are some of the details with these headphones. For example, the different traps of the prudence of the Beatles seemed to punish a certain itching itch that he did not know.
Together with AAC and SBC, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 admits the LHDC 5.0 audio codec without loss. If used with a phone supported by LHDC, this last improves the sound quality remarkably and also affects the battery life. Headphones connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.4, a double device connection and admit rapid google matching. You can change without problems between the two related devices without an important delay. The 94ms low latency game mode guarantees a minimum delay between audio and video output. They also admit a clear experience of voice calls.
The battery life of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is also impressive. Without ANC, while playing with the AAC codec with loss, I obtained a total reproduction time of almost 42 hours of the headphones. With the Anc characteristic activated, the total reproduction time fell to approximately 24 hours, which was more than satisfied, given my use more than the average. With the LHDC coding without loss and the intelligent ANC mode on, together with the case, these headphones gave me an execution time of just over 20 hours, 20 hours and 18 minutes to be precise. For the purposes of this review, it maintains a uniform volume of 50 percent during the entire trial period.
The headphones load connectors are placed at the bottom of the stem.
The ONEPLUS BUDS PRO 3 load case supports the USB type C load and wireless load. Using a 15W Qi wireless charger, it took me three hours to load the case from zero to 100 percent. Meanwhile, using a 67W wiring charger, they were charged in an hour.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3: verdict
Finally we arrive at the big question. Should you get the OnePlus Buds Pro 3? Competitive price in RS. 11,999, these headphones supported by ANC TWS offer a first level sound experience. The design is compact and elegant in its simplicity. They can offer an impressive total battery duration of almost 43 hours if you keep the ANC off and use the AAC codec. Even executing LHDC with an Award on, together with the case, they can last more than 20 hours, which is a good execution time for most casual listeners. If you trust the art of deduction, these audio products do not have a substantial warning. So, yes, they are a good choice for buyers looking for TWS headphones around RS. 12,000.
However, if you want to explore more options before compromising, you can consider the wireless headphones (review) of Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless, which admit APTX and LC3 audio codecs and have a price in India in RS. 12,990.
