To begin with, in terms of design, the OnePlus Buds appear to have a similar design language as some of the other earbuds in the market — inspired by Apple’s AirPods. The earbuds themselves have a stem design, and the case features a puck-shaped body that appears somewhat similar to the case of the recently announced Vivo TWS Neo earbuds. Moreover, there is also IPX4 water resistance. In terms of color options, the Buds come in three colorways: Gray, Nord Blue, and White. Talking about features, the OnePlus Buds come with a 13.4mm dynamic driver, which the company suggests offers deeper bass and clear audio. One of the interesting features, the newest offering from OnePlus comes with support for fast pairing with OnePlus devices and also includes support for fast charging. Moreover, you also get the Noise Cancellation (ENC) feature, something that a lot of TWS earbuds are lately offering. As for the battery, OnePlus suggests the Buds to offer up to 7 hours of music playback on a single charge, with a total of 30 hours backup with the charging case. To charge the Buds OnePlus offers a USB Type-C port on the case, which, as already mentioned, comes with support for fast charging. Besides, it is also expected that the company will soon be offering support for touch gestures and support for Dolby Atmos.
