At their summer event in Milan, Italy, OnePlus unveiled four new products, including the wireless in-ear TWS earbuds, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro. These Bluetooth buds feature dynamic drivers and extended battery life.
OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro TWS Earbuds — What’s the Buzz?
These earbuds contain a single dynamic driver with a 12.4mm titanium-coated diaphragm, enhanced by BassWave™ tech for improved sound quality. They support AAC and SBC codecs and come with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 for a stable connection up to 10 meters.
The hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) reduces noise up to 49 dB, verified by OnePlus lab tests. Each bud has three built-in mics (two analog and one digital) that work with ANC, effectively cutting out noise up to 4000 Hz. They support Multipoint for connecting to two devices simultaneously and Google Fast Pair for quick connections with Android devices, although only OnePlus 6 series and newer running Android 11 are supported. You can control the buds, adjust sound settings, and locate them using the HeyMelody app, also limited to OnePlus 6 series and up.
Touch controls include:
- Single tap: None (default), Play/Pause
- Double tap: Play/Pause, Previous, Next, Voice Assistant, Game Mode
- Triple tap: Previous, Next, Voice Assistant, Game Mode
- Tap and hold: Noise Cancellation, Transparency
- Long press: None (default), Volume Up, Volume Down
The design mimics the beloved AirPods style, with IP55 dust and water resistance for the earbuds (no rating for the case). They’ve been tested to withstand temperatures up to 55°C and drops up to 1.5 meters for the case and 1.8 meters for the buds. The case has been tested to survive 20,000 lid openings.
