OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro launched: 11 hours of playback in 10 minutes
- OnePlus has announced the Nord Buds 3 Pro wireless earbuds.
- The buds offer hybrid ANC, Fast Pair support, and 11 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge.
- Expect to pay $79.99 for the new earbuds when they go on sale.
OnePlus has offered value-focused Nord Buds for a while, with its Pro products positioned at the top of the mid-range segment. Now, the company has announced the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro.
The Nord Buds 3 Pro arrive in an oval-shaped charging case, with your choice of Soft Jade or Starry Black color options. Pop open the case and you’ll find a pair of stemmed earbuds, offering a more rounded shape than the Nord Buds 2 as well as an IP55 rating.
There’s more to the new wireless earbuds than the design, though. OnePlus says the Buds 3 Pro bring hybrid active noise cancelation (ANC), smart noise cancelation to automatically adjust noise cancelation modes, and Crystal Clear Call tech. The Chinese brand is also promising BassWave 2.0 tech for improved bass, as well as Master EQ for more personalized sound. Other notable features include dual-point connectivity, Google Fast Pair support, and Bluetooth 5.4.
What about battery life, though? Well, you can expect up to 12 hours of playback with ANC disabled, and up to 44 hours when using the charging case. The company didn’t detail playback figures on a single charge with ANC, but said you can get 22 hours of AAC playback with ANC enabled. Perhaps the most impressive figure here is that the company is touting up to 11 hours of playback with a 10-minute charge.
Keen on getting the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro? OnePlus says the buds will be available for $79.99 via OnePlus.com (July 16) and Amazon (early August). The company is also offering $20 off a standalone purchase, and 50% off the earbuds if you buy them along with a OnePlus Open, OnePlus Pad 2, OnePlus 12, or OnePlus 12R. This promotion is available until July 28.
