OnePlus - Buds 3

If you can find them for the price, Method 360 ANC. Theyre 99 bucks for a introductory price right now. Earfun Air Pro 4 and OnePlus Buds 3 and Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are also good contenders.

Oneplus buds 3 are easily the best buds all around I’ve ever tried (I refuse to spend more than $100 dollars on earbuds) I have funky ears so comfort was meh for me but they still were pretty comfy so I say that’s a very safe bet

Buddy actually it's oneplus that's go heavy on bass whether it's Nord tws or regular series, realme goes more of v shape tuning good bass and sharp trebles on almost all tws

It depends on your preference, i choosed realme because I don't like bassy tuning of oneplus and also realme has ldac codec vs LHDC on oneplus, LHDC is supported by limited devices, although if you got a good deal on oneplus you can EQ them by heymelody app and reduce bass it's not day and night difference between air 6 pro and op buds 3

Oneplus Buds 3. Great bang for the buck

You won't beat the AirPods Pro 2 assuming you're in the apple ecosystem I personally use the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 since switching to Android but I still prefer the AirPods

All buds are basically throwaway products unfortunately, just the base airpods ive seen are always gunked up with earwax which is the cause of the volume decrease in my experience. The AirPods pro's I've had (Both gen 1 and gen 2) were great and long lasting products, they have filters over the eartips so its harder for wax to become an issue too. If that's too much or you want to try another brand, I've moved to OnePlus Buds 3 and Pro 3 and they have been excellent for much less money too

I got the OnePlus Buds 3 this summer, and it was amazing, until it became faulty in 2 weeks, then I returned it and got a replacement, which was now working for a month before having the same exact problem as my previous one. The sound cut off for seconds before coming back, but the sound that played after it, was the sound it was supposed to play when it cut off, then it just went back to usual. Also both pairs' left earbud controls stopped working shortly after it started doing the sound cut off. I might've just been unlucky, but I won't be buying OnePlus buds anytime soon.

my left one broke after 3 days ):

OnePlus buds 3 are overall excellent Nothing wrong with them. If you want the best sound/app from any earphone sub £100 you want nothingbuds. Not the nothingbuds (a), the normal large case style.

I use the soundpeats capsule 3 pro for work. OnePlus buds 3 for gaming and general use. And I keep my nothing ear buds for best, and hardcore listening.

I am using oneplus buds 3 and I would say the product quality is absolutely phenomenal, Below is the rating i would want to give on the features: Sound Quality/Bass: 9/10 Battery-powered: 10/10 Noise Cancellation: 75%-80% accuracy Instant Plug out(When you take off any side of buds): Absolutely Cool 10/10 Volume inc/dec: 9/10 Call pick up one/double tap: 10/10

I listen in my inexpensive soundcore or OnePlus buds 3 at max at 40%. Loud enough for me. Absolutely rocking and bassy

Have you checked OnePlus buds 3? I was blown away with its soundstage after comparing with liberty 4nc. If this new liberty 4 pro has comparable soundstage with buds 3, count me in considering outstanding anc that it offers.

Buds 3 has better bass. Much better.

I am having oneplus 12. I am using one plus buds 3. The combination is very good for me. I am very much satisfied.

Im very happy with my oneplus buds 3. Kind of an underdog but delivers great soundquality, decent anc, good fit, good ip rating for training.

Thats super unfortunate to hear. But it is true. For me, I can shake my head as hard as I can and they dont move at all. I also use them for mountain biking. Did get a litte sore the first week but now I can wear them 5-6 hours and barly notice they are there. But when I try my gf's airpod pro 2, they dont fit me, but is perfect for her.

Got myself a pair of oneplus airbuds 3 that have wprked well for running, good audio and anc. Think i paid about $50 on sale

I currently have OnePlus Buds 3, and they're great. I'm considering upgrading for the voice control feature. Can I control my phone with voice commands, like adjusting volume, changing tracks, or making calls while riding? With my helmet on, it's hard to manage volume or calls, so I have to stop to use my phone. Is it worth it?

Same. I love them both for different reasons.👍

Of course cheaper earbuds can be better than expensive ones. They can be better as an all-rounder but most won't be better sound wise. I'll put my Oneplus Buds 3 against almost any expensive earbud because they're hard to beat as an all-rounder. Right now the best earbuds at $150 are the Oneplus Buds Pro 3 and the Nothing ear (2024).

OnePlus Buds 3 have great sound.👍

I also got realme 6 pro over oneplus buds 3 after seeing so many yt comparisons, every one said in sound quality realme 6 pro> op buds 3( oneplus is bass heavy), although both are best pair in it's price range

That's exactly opposite oneplus no matter whatever price is focus on bass while realme focus on treble and clearity

I think and have heard the ANC is still better than those. I tried the op buds 3 and the ANC was not very impressive. However, if you're talking about the air pods pro then those are gonna be a better choice.

It may not be better compared to all those. But these are the best value you could get in your budget range. I'd say it competes with OnePlus buds 3. But in terms of sound quality OnePlus buds 3 stands out slightly. That doesn't mean earfun is bad, it's also good. Earfun app has 10 bands Equalizer from which you can configure your desired sound output. You can also do the same with OnePlus. At this point you can understand that any decent sounding speakers can be enhanced by adjusting the Equalizer according to your music taste. Lately I've lost trust in the OnePlus service bcuz of the customers complaints like battery issues and left/right speakers stopped working due to the new releases. They forcing us to upgrade to the new devices by deliberately sending malicious firmware updates to the old devices which will cause over drainage of battery or speaker issues. For the money we spent, earbuds should last atleast 2.5 -3 years. So i would also advise you to have your own research and pick earbuds wisely which lasts long, along with great customer service. I'd rank them in this way 1 - OnePlus buds 3/ Earfun air Pro 4 (it's a tie)- both are budget friendly 2 - Nothing Ear a 3 - Apple airpods 2nd gen - not budget friendly imo and earbuds under $100 can beat them in sound quality. Beats studio buds - I don't know about these Go for airpods if you can afford. Take it only if you have apple device.

Hey, I'm looking for the best true wireless earbuds that I can take on my long walks (usually 8-10 miles 3-4 times per week). My. main purpose is to listen to music and podcasts and make calls (often work calls). I need great mic quality (as great as it can be on truly wireless earbuds). Fit is important since I don't want to constantly fiddle around with them on longer walks. Sweatproof or sweat resistant is a must. I live in the humid South - and will definitely be sweating during these long walks. What I've Tried Already Sony XM4 and XM5 - XM4s were too big. XM5s were a good size, but I feel like they didn't get loud enough and the bass wasn't strong enough - that mattered more before when I was running with the more. Now I mostly walk, so super strong bass isn't needed. The foam tips were good, but I don't know if I could wear them for long periods of time. Nothing Ear(a) - I really wanted to like these, but they just didn't stay in my ear well when sweating. Linkbuds S - I was a big fan of these - but I kept having a recurring issue with these that has been reported online in that the left ear bud would drain exponentially faster than the right earbud. I swapped it out once and still had the same issue. Call and mic quality were good and the sound was really good and the compact size was awesome - but that persistent battery drain issue was a big buzzkill. OnePlus Buds 3 - That's my current driver. Got it to pair with my OnePlus Open (no longer have that) and really like the bass and how loud they get. However, I'm starting to notice on my longer walks that I constantly have to re-adjust the stems because they move around - and when I do that it'll accidentally pause tracks or even hang up calls. I'd appreciate any recommendations. I'd like to keep it under $100 (I'm okay with buying refurbished from sellers like Secondipity on eBay (what I've done before)) and I'd want them to have a great mic and call quality along with great sound. Being sweat-resistant and/or sweatproof would be awesome - and the fit is crucial.

I'm worried about stem styles because the 2a wouldn't stay in my ear during sweating and the OnePlus Buds 3 I had to keep readjusting.

You can absolutely use anc earbuds without using anc. They all have aware mode... As fsr as which one, there is no singular best. But I recommend buds like oneplus bud 3, bkse qc 2...

No they don't

One plus buds 3 .. tws works better than headphone even while running if u put the tips acc to ur size

They don't sound the best. Mostly a bassy tuning and the soundstage isn't as wide as I would like. If you want battery life, elite sound quality, ANC, and call quality I would recommend getting the OnePlus buds 3 pro

Definitely not when it comes to sound clarity and ANC performance. Also the controls on the OnePlus are far more intuitive and the transparency mode is also much better as well. Imo even the Earfun air 2 nc is better than the cmf from my experience.

I use the Motorola edge plus 2023. But I've also tested the OnePlus without LHDC and they still work wonders in my experience

The earfun air 4 pro in my testing are the best all rounder when it comes to ANC performance, battery life and multipoint. They have decently Harman curve sound tuning which appeals more to the average listener. Imo they could have better sound imaging and depth in the soundstage. EQ will definitely bring out the sound more. In my testing when it comes to battery life, I get a solid 7 hours with ANC on and LDAC enabled. ANC is very good at eliminating the low frequencies and decent at mids but highs aren't blocked out (which is to be expected). Multipoint also works great, no issues whatsoever when switching devices. Build quality is okay, it can still take hits without breaking (hard plastic but feels flimsy imo) The OnePlus are also solid. Battery life is probably the best I've tried when it comes to stem style, (tested with LHDC v4 not v5 so not sure how much battery life will take a hit) I get around 9 hours without ANC and 8 to 8 and a half hours with ANC. ANC is great at blocking out low frequencies and some mid frequencies but seem to let in high frequencies easily. Sound quality is bassy out of the box but using custom EQ helps a lot with making then sound more balanced. And again, just like the Earfun, these lack imaging but these have better instrumental seperation. Multipoint works great and build quality is decent (sturdy soft to the touch hard plastic) The Roseselsa are also very good and the best I've tried when it comes to sound quality under 100. Great height and depth to music (instruments and vocals), amazing treble reproduction, superb imaging (mild v shape tuning so it also fits the likes of most people as well). Battery life is nothing special, in my testing I get 6 and a half hours with ANC and LDAC on. ANC is decent at blocking out the low frequencies and decent at blocking out mid frequencies but I find these to block out high frequencies better than the others. Unlike the other two, these i5 let the high frequencies through the mics but doesn't amplify them unlike the other two (it's strange but they could be fixed with firmware). Multipoint works great and build quality is superb, they have an aluminum case which feels premium to the touch. Out of the three, the earfun air 4 pro are the most future proof because they have auracast and LE audio. They also support LDAC and Aptx (two hi res codecs) Also I have written a review on the Roseselsa Earfree I5 on my page and the OnePlus buds 3 (don't check out the OnePlus buds 3 review because it's outdated and I've basically changed a lot of my thoughts about them after using them for quite a while. I also need to update the review before which I'm working on). Unfortunately I didn't have time to write the earfun air pro 4 review so what I've written here is basically my mini review of them.

Any elite active versions from Jabra are solid. The OnePlus buds 3 are also solid with ip55

Yes.. I came from high end earbuds to oneplus buds 3 and they're still an upgrade. My previous buds were galaxy buds 2 pro and I love oneplus buds 3 sound quality and noice cancellation!! I also have xm4s so they're almost comparable in sound and 75% in noise cancellation. Good for it 

Soundcore liberty 4 NC and OnePlus buds 3 are what I have, I love both

I have both soundcores liberty 4 nc’s and the OnePlus buds 3, both are excellent and $99. OnePlus buds are a bit more bassy. The Liberty 4’s are my daily drivers :)

Soundcore liberty 4 NC and OnePlus buds 3 :)

I have an iPhone, but I still love the OnePlus buds. They’re very bassy and I love it

Personally, I like the OnePlus buds a bit more sound wise, they’re bassy. I also think they sit a bit better in my ears. The soundcore are not *as* comfortable, but they’re not bad by any means whatsoever

Yes, I do. I love them, as well. The OnePlus buds are better for bassy music, but my soundcores have a very slight edge

Just ordered some “open box” OnePlus Buds 3 for $55 on eBay

Nice to know I have two in the top 4. EarFun Air Pro 4 and Oneplus Buds 3.

I have used the Oneplus Buds 3 since February of 2024. Sound and fit are great. I had to send them in for repair/replacement because the mic on the right bud failed. I also just ordered the Earfun Air Pro 4. I should be receiving both of them today in the mail. So I’ll comment again in a few days or week on how they compare to each other. I think my expectations for the Earfuns are high as the Oneplus Buds 3 are my favorite buds of all time. I’ve normally steered away from stem style earbuds prior to them. I also have the Space A40s and fitment and sound quality isn’t as good as the OP. Oneplus Buds 3: Sound quality- 9 Fit-8 Soundcore Space A40: Sound quality-6 Fit-7 I know these two things are subjective. But the sound quality difference is definitely the most noticeable between the OP and A40. But I’ll update you on the EarFuns when I get them.

Nice to know I have two in the top 4. EarFun Air Pro 4 and Oneplus Buds 3.

Just got the EarFun Air Pro 4. First impression is they fit perfectly in my ear. Better than the OPB3. The OPB3 have an oval shaped tip whereas the EarFuns are round. Still trying to dial in the perfect sound using the EQ. I’ll withhold any judgements on the sound quality, anc, and transparency mode until I have had a few days with them.

The VR P10’s are awesome for connecting directly to devices using the dongle. Best low latency you can find apart from a cable. I also have the A40s but most of this year I’ve been on the Oneplus Buds 3. Much better sound imo. But the mic recently took a crap on one of them so I sent them back to Oneplus for them to look them over. They are going to replace them for free once they examine them. I may end up going back to my Space A40s though because the VRP10s connected to my iPhone via Bluetooth, the sound quality is lacking. And they lack some of the features of the A40s. But I will still use the VR P10s for connecting to my tablet using the dongle. I bought them specifically for gaming and the low latency. Not necessarily for the features and sound quality.

The OP Buds 3 are my go to. Except for when I’m playing games on my Lenovo tablet. The latency isn’t great using them together. I think the issue is my tablet. But the latency is better when I use my Soundcore Space A40s with it for some reason.

But the OP Buds 3 have some great sound compared to the A40s.

Oneplus Buds 3. Soundcore Vrp10 for watching content on my tablet. EarFun 4 air pro on my nightstand for watching content in bed. The Soundcore Vrp10 has a dongle for low latency. They have by far the lowest latency because of the usb c dongle.

These were my go to until I tried the Oneplus Buds 3. It’s a night and day difference. Especially with 3d audio turned on.

Maybe it’s personal preference or differences in what our ears can hear or how they fit. For me personally, I prefer the OPB3. To each their own.

I've got the one plus buds 3 and the earfuns. Honestly I prefer the one plus. One plus have better sound quality and they are more comfortable and the app is nicer and smoother. Cons are a looser fit and Anc is somewhat weak. While earfuns have slightly better Anc and come with 5 pairs of tips so they fit a little bit deeper and safer. Battery life is great in both. Around 30 hours or so. Cons: they hurt after some time, app is glitchy and intrusive, sound quality was not impressive for me, despite the deeper insertion they still get out of my ears a lot.

I am using OnePlus buds 3 & love their comfort n fit under turban. Buds 3 pro were also good but I liked the colour of buds 3 more.

Maybe have a look at the one plus buds 3 or nothing ear, these are among the best and most comfortable stem style earbuds I know out there.

I have OnePlus buds 3 it's better in midrange I got it for like 35 dollars(3000rs) they are good

Oneplus official website se rcc token exchange or coupon karke mil gya

Yes the only problem is latency

oneplus buds is not base heavy

Nah the basic OnePlus buds not nord

Sorry didn't read it to the end initially I dont know much about nord one but buds 3 is worse than previous gen sound wise. As for controls they have only basics no volume control at all

Liberty 4 for $50? That sounds a little confusing maybe you mean the Liberty 4 NC? Of the ones you listed I would probably go with the OnePlus buds 3 or the sound core a40. Baseaus is really only something you want if battery life is the only feature you really care about

A good number on this sub liked both the One Plus Buds 3 or One Plus Buds 3 Pro (Pro has enhanced sound quality so worth a bit extra) as well as Nothing (a).

It seems from people on this sub Earfun Air Pro 4, Soundcore Liberty NC, One Plus Buds 3 or One Plus Buds 3 Pro. These all seem really good. It sounds like the One Plus Buds 3 Pro has the best sound, but these all are very good.

I found the Ear Fun touch (or, more accurately, tap) controls to be way too finicky. The OnePlus Buds 3 controls are similar to Airpods and are much more manageable IMO.

I'll say the OnePlus buds 3. I've use it and it's pretty good. I've even seen it on sale for around 50 bucks

Hellooo! I hope this is the right place to ask! I recently lost my charging case for my oneplus buds 3 - which means im using a discontinued sennheiser headset while riding to and from work. I cannot wear a helmet with these, so im looking to buy a new set in-ear headphones. Now the issue is - using versus.com as a form of review of the headphones i look at, its hard to find any with as good sound quality as the oneplus buds 3, ALTHOUGH i don't want those again, since they kept loosening during my rides and the wind was very prevalent. The sennheiser headset has earcovering, so i dont get the annoyance of the wind, but the sound quality should be worse (remember its a very cheap and discontinued pair) What would you guys recommend? I want: -Incredible sound -high volume (idc that imma go deaf, i want to feel the vibrations to my core( -preferably wireless (doesnt need to be "true wireless") -they stay on while riding

Earbuds designed for OnePlus 12 right now are the Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro which are more expensive but at your price range you can get the Moondrop Space Travel or Oppo Enco Air3 or QCY MeloBuds Pro maybe. I've seen good reviews about them online but I use the Buds 3.

Ive tried a decent amount of these. If you have easy fitting ears I would go with the OnePlus buds 3. If you struggle to get a good seal the sony linkbud S are really good. Earfun air pro 4 also have good reviews. My 4th pick would be the galaxy buds FE or the nothing ear(a).

Oneplus: great for calls Nothing: goated Galaxy buds: pretty mid. Fine for zoom but not best with loud background noise Earfun I havnt owned. And I only used linkbuds for a few hours and didnt test mic. I think the mic is good though idk.

Oneplus buds 3 beats the majority in terms of sound and seems as a better choice all around, while Buds FE definitely have the strongest ANC and wingtips. If you want to use them while running, these are the best option. They are the only earbuds that aren't falling from my ears, except for some other buds designed specifically for that scenario.

Specifically for oneplus? Buds 3 Objectively though I think you'd be hard-pressed to find something better than Anker. I have a liberty 4 nc with a 12R.

I include sound and ANC samples in all my reviews, recorded using a binaural microphone setup, so you can actually hear the difference for yourself rather than taking people's word for it. The seal makes a huge difference when it comes to noise reduction so one person's findings might be different to someone else's purely down to the fit. Here's my review of [Earfun Air Pro 4 ](https://youtu.be/2dSnlgElEaw), the OnePlus Buds 3 and Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are compared [here](https://youtu.be/nA8SzBswW5w), and if you scroll through my page you'll find the Soundpeats option mentioned as well. IMO - there's no outstanding candidate - all have their pros and cons. For me, the likes of Redmi Buds 6 Pro, Realme Buds Air 6 Pro and OnePlus Buds 3, whilst not outstanding at anything, have a good blend of sound, call performance, ANC, transparency and price. The L4 NC has the strongest ANC but struggles on calls and the sound is too bloated for my liking. The Earfun are good other than on calls, where your voice muffles quite a bit depending on the scene.

First, I would say after owning several, that what is your favorite doesn't have to be the "best". But since you ask, I would give the best to the Technics AZ80. They are incredibly well rounded and do pretty much everything well. The only negative I can say is, mine had to be replaced because the case stopped charging. I actually had the AZ60M2, and Technics upgraded me to the Az80 as a replacement. There's not a huge difference between the two, but the AZ80s have the slight edge The ones I use most often are the Earfun Air Pro 4. These have been a major surprise. I like them because of how comfortable they are. I also really liked the Oneplus Buds 3, but the Air Pro 4 edged them out on sheer comfort. If you don't want to spend AZ80 money, then the Oneplus Buds 3 or Earfun Air Pro 4 is absolutely where I'd stay and I'd be very happy.

I picked the Earfun and returned the Oneplus Buds

I had airpods earlier and had liked it but couldn’t justify the price i was paying for it. However recently i have bought oneplus buds 3 and they sound really well, have a good mic, a decent enough ANC and are an absolute value for money

OnePlus buds 3 out and about. In the office I use Apple wired Earpods (and hate how uncomfortable they are).

I use OnePlus buds 3 also. They're great. Also just got a pair of Anker Liberty 4 NC for like $70 for a pair at work. Similar performance as OnePlus buds 3, has ANC also and also has wireless charging and way cheaper!

One plus buds 3 [there's a mic test in this video at about 20 seconds if you're interested ](https://youtu.be/KoQkCfi6TJs?si=Az1VyznmA6NePkCx)

A bump in sound quality you'll have to compare them side by side to see and a mic that is meant to be better but isn't worth the extra £100

A bump in sound quality you'll have to compare them side by side to see and a mic that is meant to be better but isn't worth the extra £100

Huawei freebuds 6i probably have the best mics in that range (freebuds pro 3 is probably more expensive, but they have the best mics) but if he has android it’s a bit cumbersome to install the app for adjusting settings since it’s not in the play store. Otherwise Nothing ear (a) and Oneplus buds 3 are pretty good for calls in that range and are overall good buds, but almost all wireless earbuds severely struggle in very noisy and windy conditions.

OnePlus buds 3, i got it free from buying tablets lol

Just open game mode, it's gonna lower the latency, I use it to play pubg with no problems. I used the brainwave with level 2 boost, Hi Re, LHDC. Suppose buds 3 pro are much much better than the nord 3 so i don't really suggest using that. Im planning to buy the buds 3 pro rn but😬😬 feels like it won't change that much compared to mine rn

I'm using OnePlus buds 3. Connects to 2 devices simultaneously and quickly. Has ANC and sound quality is also good. Cheaper.

OnePlus buds 3 bro, the best one unless u own an iphone.

Bought the 1+ buds 3 for 3300 if that helps

With that price you can get better like the oneplus buds 3 which are very good

Yes they are basically airpod pros without apple tax even got noise cancelling which is actually very good but just to be sure we are talking about 300 usd? If so then you can get oneplus buds 3 pro which are better than the 3

A lot of great responses and I just want to add if price is a concern then the nothing ear and the oneplus buds 3 are both crazy good for the price. I have both and I reach for them as often as I reach for my jabra elite 10's APP2's, the Sony's when I had them etc. This isn't a knock on them either as they are all great as well.

I've found the Oneplus Buds 3 to be excellent for Phone calls in Noisy environments. Also the Anker NC 4 are excellent. Don't be fooled by the low pricing these pack a punch of Buds that are double the price. Disclaimer: I own two pairs of the Oneplus Buds 3 and after 6 months am still very happy with them.

I'm not a fan of paying more and also Pinch Control. So I've stuck with the regular Oneplus Buds 3. From the reviews I've seen not much difference if any in Phone Calls.

Take a look at the Oneplus Buds 3 according to picky audio on YouTube they punch way above their price. I have two pairs and using custom eq goldensound on the heymelody app they sound spectacular. They have all the bells and whistles too.

Galaxy Buds FE Only IPX2 no protection against Dust and Water. You want good ANC and at least IPX4 with Ip55 as being more optimal. 4 buds to consider are alphabetical Order Earfun Air Pro 4 OnePlus Buds 3 Realme Air 6 Pro Soundcore Liberty 4nc All of these have their advantages and disadvantages. Soundcores might be good for you because they have the longest battery life with ANC but they are only IPX4 I am biased towards the OnePlus 3. I have two pairs of the OnePlus 3 (To Alternat) as I live in my Earbuds and they are IP 55 which are very protect-ant against the elements and very good all around buds. Picky Audio on Youtube says the sound quality is the best. I use them with Custom EQ from GoldenSound on the HeyMelody App and they sound splendid. Best place to research Buds are on YouTube just punch in the name of the buds. They even do comparisons.

Wow Just saw the review on youtube. You do awesome reviews. Now watching your best earbuds under $100.00 Decided not to buy them because 1. they protrude from the ears a little more than I like 2. Call quality in the Coffee Shop was abysmal 3. Didn't need them though though curious to try. 4. I love the swipe volume control on the Oneplus Buds 3 (I have two parirs) didn't feel like mixing and matching Controls. Now to those who are reading this post, below is a coupon that you can use on the Amazon checkout page which brings the buds down to the $62.00. I assume first come first serve one time use **VGHA-BJCN5N-SRN8AR**

You hit it on the head why I bought my 2nd pair of OnePlus 3 instead of another Bud. Seems like every bud has it's trade off but I couldn't see anything that was clearly superior. So I went with the OP3 for trivial reasons and that they are an all around performer.

Funny you mention that. The fit is really good/strange on the OP3. They feel like they are loose in my ear. But when I push em in they don't budge. When I do the ear canal test they come up as good. And they just about never fall out of my ears. Because of the shallowness, the Capacitive Touch control, and possibly being less sensitive to accidental touches, I can sleep in these. I tried two others of the contenders Nothing Ear (2024) I had a problem with the Nothing Ear (2024) where they would pop out of my ear. And the left bud did it on day 28 ,fell on to concrete sidewalk and wouldn't charge. Luckily it was in the return window so back to the river it went. The controls on the Nothing were Pinch and I couldn't get the Double Pinch and Hold to work even somewhat reliably. So the control functionality was limited. Popping out of ear, inability to take a fall, and limited controls were the reason why I didn't just replace. I also like the tap better than the pinch. If you need to unobtrusively pause your music it's easier/faster and more circumspect to tap for a pause. My other most recent purchase was the Earfun Air Pro 3 which began to crackle on around 29 days and I didn't have time to trouble shoot, could have been a phone compatibility issue with my Samsung or just going defective but I was too close to the return window. I also don't like to dick around with my earbuds if I can return them easily. I won't re-order an earbud that goes wonky on me in the first month.

Tops in the under $100.00 are OneBuds 3 Nothing Ear A Soundcore 4nc Earphone Air Pro 4 I'm very partial to the OneBuds 3. I've had two sets for around 6 months and they are all around performers with great sound and phone calls. All the buds listed above punch above their price. The nothing ear uses pinch control, the rest are tap which I prefer.

Oneplus Buds 3 or Liberty 4 NC I like the Oneplus Buds 3 better sound quality is stellar whereas L4NC is good. Both have great Mics though the Soundcore is ever so slightly better. OP3 Battery Life is around 6 hours with ANC on and L4NC is 7 hours. All the controls custom programmed setting etcs are available with using only One Bud use on the OP3. The fit and ergonomics are better on the OP3

I'll second the OnePlus Buds 3. Excellent Quality and great all around Buds. They filter out the background noise tremendously.

Oneplus Buds 3 if you Can get them for 60 bucks

Got mine from Aliexpress Oneplus official store, came in with all the waranty stuff, for about 63 if I remember right

Okay, I bought the cheaper Bose and was having technical problems, and got a free upgrade, I think I just got lucky • they sound great but only 6 hours run time. I wanted a good pair for back up and settled on OnePlus Buds 3, they fit perfectly good for me, and I am super excited, I can barely feel them in my ears, hope this helps

One Plus ear buds 3 , great fit, I don't hear very well, there's an APP, very affordable, charges in the case, mostly I wear 1 at a time

Yes. OnePlus, Realme, Vivo, Anker offer special quality without high prices and still have decent audio. - OnePlus Buds 2 Pro/2R/3 for sound quality, - Realme Buds 5/6 Pro for mic's, - Vivo TWS 4 / IQOO TWS 2 for best ANC, - Soundcore Liberty 4 NC if you want some extra features like wireless charging and pulse meter

For any Android: Oneplus Buds Pro 3 For Samsung: Galaxy Buds3 Pro For iOS: Airpods Pro 2nd Gen

This^ I just went down this rabbit hole and everyone's opinions online varied wildly from my own in person experiences. I ended up keeping Galaxy Buds 3 Pro (pixel phone). I tried Pixel Buds Pro 2, JBL Tour Pro 3, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and Nothing Pro (2024).

Check earfun air pro 4 i think wireless charging din siya at that price range. Yan choice ko before I opted for oneplus buds 3 pro, I'm using s25 rin.

The Nothings, Status Between 3ANC. I’m pretty impressed with the Soundpeats Capsule Pro+, OnePlus Buds 3 Pro and the Creative Aurvana Ace also. I’m just talking sound quality not other features. The less expensive tier seems to be catching up pretty quickly.

Right now I’m giving the AZ80 a second chance and switching back between those and the Soundpeats Capsule Pro+ and the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro. I think both of those are holding their own depending on what song is playing.

One plus buds pro 3 Hate the name , love the product.

I haven't but have been intrigued to try them! I've heard good things. I have no hesitation paying for them but my One plus buds pro 3 have been good enough for me to not feel the need to get buds 2x or 3x the price.

I got my one plus for about 120us on sale through their store. Nothing's look like 150. So yeah pretty comparable to europe

I use one plus buds pro 3 and the galaxy buds pro 3 with a pixel 9. Both are great and both should be considered with your other choices.

There are always going to be a few features that are exclusive to the ear bud/phone maker, but you can live without those small features. If you want all the features and have a pixel phone get the pixel buds, but consider other options. You can get a good deal on OnePlus Buds Pro 3 on ebay since they had a big holiday bonus for people who bought the tablets or new oneplus 13 so people are dumping them for about $100.

I feel that it sounds really good, but I think the buds fit my ears correctly. You can use the hey melody app to help get the right fit to maximize the ANC. Good luck on your quest to find your buds.

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 if bass is your priority. It's as good as it gets when it comes to bass with these.

I got the Denon Perl Pro on Black Friday deal, man, it is worth every penny. I am experiencing music like I had never experienced before. I am not an audiophile,  but I enjoy good music. I currently have the AZ 60, 1More Evo, and OnePlus Buds 3 Pro which I bought simultaneously with the DPP. My intention was to try both and return one of them, but I am stuck with both. The two are fantastic pairs of earbuds. The DPP is great for sound, but the OnePlus isn't a slouch neither. I use the Buds 3 Pro at work and DPP at home.  The Buds 3 Pro is incredibly light weight with a seducing case. I sometimes forget they are in my ears. The only downside to the DPP is the weight. They can feel heavy and a bit fatiguing in the ears but they are a bitter sweet, sweet that pill I am happy to swallow. As for other aesthetics, here are my experience  - The design is unique. You either like it or hate it but I like their imposing nature. I would like to have on in flight and make people stear at me - Battery 🔋 is fine - ANC is good. It is good enough for me. I don't buy earbuds because of the ANC. I never liked being completely locked away from my environment. I am not looking for a Bose Ultra Comfort serenity - Transparency is 6/10. The Buds 3 Pro has a better transparency in my experience so far - Fit, I swithed to the in ear wing tips and I have used them in the gym twices and they stayed on my ears.  Finally, I am keeping my DPP for the long haul. They rock misic like a headphone. I am also keeping my Buds 3 Pro for different reasons. They are both exceptionally good. 

Sony XM5 will never win a "most comfortable" contest. The most comfortable earbuds are the Jabra Elite 10, and they sound *good* but there are several earbuds with better sound and more hi-res codecs. If money is no object, the Devialet Gemini 2 are very lightweight and comfortable, and are widely considered the best sounding earbuds on the market today. The Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 are growing on me as well: they are comfortable and well made, and sound fantastic, and support some high res codecs like APTX lossless. I still think the Devialet sounds slightly better but my mind changes from track to track. Sennheiser MTW4 and Technics AZ80 are a bit more reasonably priced (though still on the high end of the consumer earbud market). Both are pretty comfortable and sound fantastic. To my ears, the Sennheiser sound a bit better and the Technics are a bit more comfortable. In the under-$200 range, the Nothing Ear (2024) and the OnePlus Buds *Pro* 3 are both very comfortable and sound fantastic. The Nothing supports more high resolution audio codecs but whether this matters depends a lot on what your phone supports.

Bose ultra? The OnePlus buds pro 3 are terrible. I get the pain in the ear also. The anc is awful and even with off set, it still makes terrible noise. Terrible hardware which they are trying to disguise with fancy firmware. I feel like it's creating pressure or a standing wave within the ear. It wouldn't surprise me if these are making people lose their hearing

Currently experiencing this now. This month, I’ve tried - EAH-AZ100, Sony XM5, Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2, Jabra Elite 8 Gen 2, Pixel Buds Pro 2, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, Nothing Buds. I could not agree more. I’m currently testing the EAH-AZ100s against the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 and Nothing Buds, and was going to make a post about it myself. I’m not sure what to think. The hype and price almost ‘ruin’ the AZ100’s. They’re just nowhere near as mind blowing as people make out, especially when you compare them to buds 1/2 or 1/3 of the price. As you said, If you put a gun to my head and asked me to pick, yes, I’d probably say the EAH-AZ100s are probably ‘best’ for the average person, but do I think they’re always the most enjoyable or best, absolutely not. I’d honestly say if I listened to 10 songs, maybe 4 of them sound best on the EAZ-AZ100s, 4 on the OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and 2 on the Nothings, and the difference between the Nothing Buds having 2 points and 4, is as you said, literally, literally like 5%. I found it very hard to decide between buds, it was one of the reasons I ended up testing so many. Similarly, I thought the XM5’s were literally the worst of all the ones I mentioned above, despite being near the top in their perceived premium’ness’. I genuinely would pick the Nothing Buds 10/10 times over them. That said, I am hoping to learn how to get more out of these EAZ-AZ100’s with the EQ, I’ve tried playing around with them but not really hearing this ‘mind blowing’ ‘blow your head off’ ‘rip your head in half’ quality tbh.

OnePlus buds pro 3 beat out all of these in sound quality and battery life.

Wondering about the same thing. Just went from Jabra active 65t to OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, men the OnePlus didn't fit my ear, so now I'm looking for something else. Maybe I should just keep on going with jabra? Who's the best?

Honestly OnePlus makes a real good earbud with dual device seamless integration. Great for work as well. I have the OnePlus buds 3 pro. Great buds.

AZ100s are best when you want to be mobile but don't want to compromise on sound quality. I use it mainly around my office/home. Shockz OpenRun is best when I am out and about riding my scooter and/or running errands. They stay on with no issues and it's easy to take on and off being "one-piece" instead of two so you don't fear losing it. Sony XM6 has the best noise cancelling, best for flights and loud areas. OnePlus Buds pro 3 is for being mobile but you don't want to risk losing/damaging your expensive AZ100s.

Personally under 100 I would go with any of the Sony Buds. I have their CF500 and for the money they sound insane. I would look in to the most recent cf700 if you were really in to ANC. But honestly at that price point I would be more interested in good quality headphones with passive noise cancellation from a decent seal rather than focussing on ANC. The Sony buds have an EQ that comes with a bass slider which is ace, the extra sub you get from turning it up is very good. The only negative for the Sony buds is the call quality, the microphone is great but just picks up way too much background noise for my liking. For reference of background I tried a load of the lower value buds such as offerings from soundpeats and the like and found them to be trying to hard to do everything rather than focusing on being just good buds. I can’t speak of the One Plus Buds 3, but I recently bought the One Plus Buds 3 Pro which are unfortunately over 100, which are absolutely awesome! The ANC is great and they sound fantastic. The sub in them can be turned up to insane levels if that’s what you want, but they are also a very balance bud, really enjoying using them. Don’t ever buy anything from beats, just an overpriced budget item. Really low quality components. Nothing Ear A are supposed to be a good bud for the money according to reviews etc. But haven’t heard them myself. AirPods are supposedly great for iPhone users, but for the money you can do better. For what it’s worth, I’m a sound engineer and have custom In Ear Monitors (IEMs) for work worth over 1000 pounds, so I am very familiar with high quality audio. Yet am super happy using the Sony Buds. Even more happy using the Buds Pro 3 from One Plus.

i got the Oneplus Buds Pro 3 after losing my 2nd gen Google earbuds and i like them. i didn't want to spend so much on earbuds because i don't use them every single day, but it's definitely a nice price and they do sounds pretty good.

Mic is not awful, I have used it for calls, but I prefer Oneplus Buds 3 Pro for calls.

OnePlus Buds Pro 3. Seriously good value for the money.

I am so fed up with all these earbuds. I had the oppo Enco x2 pro. Brilliant sound - nothing to complaint about. Battery life also good. Only issue: people don't understand me when I call someone - which is a dealbreaker. Then the oneplus buds 3 pro Don't fit my ear as well. Worse sound vs the enco but still good. Quality of my voice still shit (marginally better) but the fall out of my ear (why did they make the part in the ear matte and slippery? That's just mad.) And all those button shaped (Denon, Technics etc) earbuds don't fit in my ear and fall out when moving around. Why do the continue with this horrible and dumb looking design. Do I really have to go with the apple - even if I don't own anything from their eco system? Why no new oppo Enco with dynaudio?

OnePlus buds pro 3 and Google Pixel buds pro 2 are great. I have them both.

I just for the OnePlus 3 Pro Buds for $130 with one of their coupons and the anc is incredible

These are quality buds. $130 from their app with a coupon is a steal

Oneplus buds pro 3 is better than both.

Id go one plus buds pro 3 or nothing ear 2024, for clean bass, momentum tw4 or technics az-100

Tired of having to say it, but One Plus buds 3 pros are the answer you seek.

Oneplus buds 3 pro has one of the best bass I've heard. That said, they also have a very spicy high end so unless you EQ it well, it can be fatiguing for some (me 😅)

If you dont know much about audio nor what I'm talking about, then get the Oneplus buds 3 pro. I think you'd be more impressed. Its a very good earphone If you're interested in learning about audio, its intricacies & your personal preferences, I'm gonna throw you a curve ball & say get 2 types of earbuds rather than 1. Get a Moondrop Moca & a Realme air 6 pro. The Moondrop is alot more like the Nothing Ear & the Realme has a similar sound siggy as the Oneplus. Bonus is both the Moondrop & Realme combined can be had for similar money as the Oneplus. This way you get a taste of balanced tuning vs V shape tuning. Both are also good earbuds for SQ & realme is very decent for calls as well. Just a thought

I own/have owned about a dozen mid to high end TWS buds over the last 4-5ish years. Here's my list: - Nothing Ear (2024) - OnePlus Buds Pro 3 - Denon PerL Pro - Devialet Gemini 2 - Sennheiser Momentum TW 4 - Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro (old but gold)

recently switched from galaxy buds+ to oneplus buds 3 pro. Difference is negligible in sound quality but features on the oneplus are so much better.

The Technics AZ80 and the One Plus Buds Pro 3 arrived today and the Technics were DEAD on arrival, I charged them fully, nope! DEAD! they were a warehouse Amazon price deal 🙄 I suppose that’s my own stupid fault trying to get the best price I did also try the One Plus Buds Pro 3, I set them up accurately and tried all different EQ’s plus their auto setup feature, nope! I wasn’t impressed, could do with more volume, Both sets of earbuds are on their way back to Amazon Have ordered Technics AZ100 and Denon PerL Pro’s to try, but they aren’t arriving till next week The Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 are due to arrive tomorrow

Decided to just order the following earbuds for tomorrows delivery with Amazon, will test them all and see what I feel I like best, whatever I don’t think worthy, I’ll just return 👍😎 1: OnePlus Buds Pro 3 (£137 🇬🇧) 2: Technics EAH-AZ80E-S (£117 🇬🇧) (Amazon Warehouse Price Deal) 3: Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 (£247 🇬🇧) (Amazon Warehouse Price Deal) Would like to try the Technics AZ-100 soon!

I have the OnePlus Buds and they are good. I also have the Anker Soundcore Life P3i earbuds and I like them too

Realme air 5 /6 pro. They quote 50db. Idk how true that is, but on my 5 pro, while sitting next to the engine on a bus they reduce the engine noise by about 80% or how loud the AC would be. If i play music at 50% volume I can't hear the noise anymore. This depends on the seal they make in ur ear. Also look for OnePlus buds. Redmi buds have slightly worse ANC

The Comfortability of one plus buds is another level. Even apple can't match it. Sometimes, i even forgot that they are in my ears.

I know right. I bought them as an upgrade to Gen 2. Honestly the Gen 2 is far far better and I am feeling so bad of spending extra money to get something so cheap. Even one plus buds I tried is better than this. Airpods 4 suck with flat sound

1st where are you gonna use them, with you phone? Most possible, yes. Then check the compatibility of you phone with the audio codecs, and get some ear buds with those audio codecs available (SBC and AAC are the most common and every phone and earbuds accept that codecs). So depending if your phone accept I don't know APTX HD, without a doubt get a pair with that compatibility. LDAC, LHDC, APTX or APTX HD. Are a few of the codecs with the best audio quality, based on that check which one are the best for you. If you have an iPhone get airpods, if you have a Samsung get some Galaxy buds, if you have a OnePlus, get OnePlus buds, usually the same brand gives some advantages using them between them, the phone and the earbuds. But if your phone support Hi-RES codecs then look for some that are better on that aspect. Hope to be helpful.

I bought some OnePlus Buds for my partner as she is deaf in one ear and does not need a super expensive set, and they're actually really good. You need to download the app to get proper use of them, but once you do the noise cancelling and the ease of the touch system make them really high quality.

I can vouch for the OnePlus buds, safe pick!

OnePlus buds are better in sound quality than nothing. I have tried both

I don't really like OP buds. Ironically the best ones I've used are Pixel pro. I can walk around and talk with them and hear everything.
