THE LAST EDITION BUDS PRO ARE THE BEST WIRELESS BUDS ONEPLUS CAN OFFER

OnePlus might have joined the bandwagon of wireless earphones a bit later than the others but have been very good in catching up. The last edition Buds Pro are the best wireless buds the company can offer. They are expensive in comparison to their predecessors but are they really the best let’s find out.

DESIGN:

In terms of design OnePlus might have had a standard design element but with the Buds Pro that has changed, the earpieces and charging case look quite unlike the company’s older products. They have kept a very cool matte- gloss combination for the earpiece and charging case.

The earpiece casings have a neat matte black finish, while the stems have a glossy dark grey finish. It gives the premium feel and appeal which is something you might not be expecting from a wireless headphone below 10,000.

NAVIGATION:

To navigate through your Buds Pro, you need to use the glossy stems of your earpiece. They are touch sensitive and unlike the others it is not tap and swipe but press and hold. More like the Apple Airpods Pro.

Play/ pause (single-press), next track (double-press), and call controls are fixed and can’t be changed, but the triple-press and long-press controls can be modified through the Bluetooth settings.

AUDIO QUALITY:

Buds Pro can be well enjoyed by people who like to listen to music with a good bass. Music with a lot of treble might not be a delight to your ear so much. High pitch audio might not be the best in the Buds Pro. For your regular calls and audio meetings and audio tapes Buds Pro are great.

ANC:

OnePlus Buds Pro has a Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity, with support for the SBC, AAC, and LHDC Bluetooth codecs. The earphones have 11mm dynamic drivers, a frequency response range of 20-20,000Hz, and three microphones on each earpiece for ANC and voice calls. Three pairs of ear tips and a charging cable are included in the sales package.

Buds Pro works best with OnePlus smartphones for other devices you can use HeyMelody app which is used for the same purpose.

It’s possible to switch between adaptive active noise cancellation and transparency modes and set the intensity level of the ANC between normal, maximum, or an adaptable ‘smart’ setting which adjusts itself based on your surroundings.

Active noise cancellation on the OnePlus Buds Pro is very effective for the cost price ANC quality is equivalent to higher end wireless earphones.

BATTERY:

Battery life is very important for such devices especially when you are on go. Buds Pro has a decent battery which worked for 6.5 hours with ANC on. It gets a 40mAh and the charging case gives up to 4 additional hours.

ZEN MODE AIR:

An interesting and refreshing feature. Zen Mode Air lets you use the earphones to listen to any of five ‘white noise’ clips of calming nature sounds. It is activated by pressing and holding the stem for three seconds.

VERDICT

OnePlus Buds Pro are for sure the best wireless earphones for me in below 10,000 category. They offer you good style & deign great ANC and a cool Zen Mode. The earpieces are IP55 rated for dust and water resistance, and the case is also IPX4 rated for water resistance. You also get good Audio quality. So, getting a Buds Pro would never be a bad idea.
