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.

I have had sony xm5, one bud plus 3, sennheiser momentum 4, technics az80, beats studio buds, air pods, and soundcore liberty 3 pros and liberty 4 noise cancelling. i’ve borrowed a friend’s b&o with the soundcore

Initial listen, They were “fun”. Nice and lively, enhanced highs and bass. But after a while I became fatigued with them. An analogy could be like how tv manufacturers crank up the contrast settings for displaying the tvs in a showroom… but those settings are just overdone when you get the tv settled in to your home.

huawei freebuds pro 4, imho is the best. next is oppo enco x3i or oneplus buds 3

i have enco x3i. anc is amazing. i ride train every weekend. no complain from my wife. we usually on call for 6 hours while i was on train. my voices are clear but huawei freebuds pro 4 is better. trains noise factor is higher than busy street noise. oppo enco x3i = oneplus buds 3 (same product just different name) i bought huawei for 127usd and oppo for 67usd. i have also use others such as buds fe, liberty 4 nc. not good, voices are not clear. buds fe received very high rating for phone calls in rtings.com, but imho avoid, its bad. i bought 2, believing online review are dependable. on my search for clear call, now i owns, 2x buds fe, enco x3i, liberty 4 nc, buds pro, fiio utws5, 2x huawei freebuds pro 4. (so far huawei 0 complain) 🤣

Just started to use OnePlus Buds 3 about 2 - 3 weeks ago. The experience so far has been nice. ANC is great. I'm using the moderate ANC, yet it's good enough to suppress the noise you experience during busy bus rides.

I would go for: Moondrop space travel is a safe choice for sound, they're very underwhelming in anc and are pretty flimsy( the only pair of earbuds that I had break into pieces) OnePlus buds 3 is very good with equalization, I got it to sound better than anything wireless before 200 usd, so best potential by far imo. Pretty sharp sounding stock, although you can partly fix it with companion app without diving deeper, also many people like their stock sound. Anc is great for the price and they're very slick and well-built. Ali 50 dollars Soundpeats air 4 pro are just nice. Very inoffensive sound, they lack high frequencies, but that's a blessing in disguise as they're not sharp. Kinda natural sound. Eq can make them better but isn't necessary at all. I would say that anc is a bit worse than buds 3, but very usable... unlike space travels. Well built. They're not a current model, wait for a sale on aliexpress and you can get them for 50. It's more like 65 now if I'm not mistaken.

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

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.

Happy with my OP buds 3 but thanks for the review

True that ANC on the 3 is underwhelming. Sometimes I wonder is it amplifying ambient sound in normal mode to convince me of its ANC quality.

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 don't have them but they're some of the best earbuds for sound. Be more specific in what you want so we can recommend the right earbuds for you. There so many options like Earfun Air Pro 4, Oneplus Buds 3, Nothing Ear (a), Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro, and the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC just to name a few.🤷‍♂️

I have quite a few for different reasons. Here are some I own: Sennheiser Momentum 4, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, Oppo Enco X2, Earfun Air Pro 4, Tozo NC2 & NC7, Oneplus Buds 3, and earbuds from 2019 that haven't died yet.😅

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.

For me it was the subpar ANC and transparency basically deactivated for a good 10 seconds whenever it got windy

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.

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

Considering that most of the scenarios in which you use headphones are for sports, I think the OnePlus Buds 3 are more suitable for you, they fit very securely

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

A lot is an overstatement. Bass is held back on the Cambridge because of the safer tuning. Even with EQ adjustments, subbass still lacks and the bass doesn't rumble. The nothing ear or OnePlus buds 3 have tons more deep rumbling subwoofer like bass

OnePlus buds 3 (in my testing I got 9 hours at a comfortable listening level

Imo the Roseselsa Earfree I5 are the best sounding tws under 100 when it comes to accurate/precise imaging, great airy soundstage, amazing depth and instrument perception. Bass is also on the balanced side (although it's a slight v shape tuning, it still remains decently balanced through all frequencies). (4 EQ presets) I get about 6-9 hours depending on if I'm using LDAC or LDAC with ANC. I have a review on my page if you want to check it out. Another solid option are the Soundpeats capsule 3 Pro plus, they have the widest soundstage I've tested in this price and they have a custom EQ so bass can be tuned down. ANC imo is better at cancelling low frequencies on this pair but battery life takes a hit at 5 hours with ANC and LDAC. (I also have a review on my page for these ones as well) (Also I've tested these against the soundcore liberty 4 nc/pro, realme air 6 pro, OnePlus buds 3, earfun air 4 pro, nothing ear a, etc and these two tws come out to be the most accurate sounding out of the bunch.)

It would still be the Roseselsa. But I would also recommend the OnePlus buds 3, they do have slightly worse audio quality, but the battery life is superb at 9 hours with ANC and LHDC on(although I'm not sure what phone you have so idk if LHDC is supported on your device). ANC is decent as well maybe on par with the Roseselsa. Another solid option that at similar to the OnePlus with better ANC are the Earfun air 4 pro.

The OnePlus buds 3 have swipe gesture controls but the soundcore liberty 4 pro have pinch/squeeze controls. So they might be the best options. Sound quality wise on the liberty 4 pro are more of a bassy tuning but nonetheless still decent since they also have custom eq. ANC is a standout and battery life is also decent. (Case quality does feel a little cheap) Edit: I'm glad I can help 👍

For me the nothing and also the OnePlus bp3 we're always better sounding then the Technics az100 out of the box (tuning wise, imaging or other technical aspects were somewhat better in the Technics). I have to disagree with the Pi8 though, however it's all subjective

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 

Oneplus buds 3... Hands down the best earbuds you can get in a budget.. even better than my galaxy buds 2 pro. I got them for 40 dollars in india. 

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

Soundcore liberty 4 NC’s + OnePlus buds 3 are both great for me and retail at $99

I got both for $59, but $99 is still their retail.

Ok so I've had these for about a week now and here's my full honest review for anyone looking to buy. I upgraded from the oneplus buds 3 so I will be also doing a comparison. Sound quality is excellent, very clear trebles and punchy bass. With the hey melody app you get an in ear sound test which then creates the best EQ for your hearing, then using the 3D sound tech it bumps up the richness in sound by a substantial amount. Compared to the oneplus buds 3 it's very difficult to tell the difference however but this could be because my phone only allows AAC codec and I'm streaming spotify (320kbps) so the quality is lower than what they are built to handle. If you are a true audiophile then using FLAC with the oneplus buds LHDC 5.0 codec will show their true potential. Active noise cancelling is really impressive, I can have a fan blowing next to me at full power and I barely notice it. Train sounds are drastically reduced, however sometimes on the london tube the screeching can pierce through. I'd say it is a 30% increase in noise cancelling than the buds 3. Transparancy mode is still there and even has an adaptive mode which I've tested a couple of times and it seems to work well. However I'd probably use the transparancy mode over it if you really just have to eavesdrop on strangers conversations. Battery life, now this is the only place I think they fall short. Still provides an impressive 18 hours total with the charging case with ANC on (over 3 days use for me when testing, but should easily last a week in between charges). This however does fall short of what is advertised at 24 hours with ANC on. The earbuds themselves last a good 6 hours with ANC on also which stands true with what they advertise. Again this is relatively the same with the buds 3 although the buds 3 seem to last a bit longer with the charging case. Design and fit is very good. Feels more premium than the buds 3 and the flattened sides of the earbuds make it much easier to adjust volume and use the touch controls. The case is nice and weighty but the buds themselves are the lightest buds I've ever had. Not sure if its necessarily a bad thing as they keep in place with my ears however if you're a runner this may make them easier to slip out but on the otherhand I've dropped them once and as they're so light they likely won't damage easily. Voice calling is great, had a conversation in the wind and my brother said it was extremely clear. Very quick to charge, full charge takes an hour and a half. 10 minute charge to get you 3/4 hours use. No wireless charge however if you're into that. Overall 9/10 buds. Great value for money.

For sure I def probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference lol. 35 year old ears man ha. Yeah that makes sense as most phones only really support LDAC, one plus are pushing their own codec to drive sales. It's all kinda over the top though really I don't think most people realise that AAC is all you really need especially seeing as spotify maxes their quality at 320kbps which AAC can handle already.

No prob, yeah tbh it's not much of an improvement over the 3 except for the ANC.

It's still pretty good ANC in most cases, the 4 just upped the tech a bit and the decibel loudness it can cancel. It's still not probably as good as sony xm5s...but I still rate the oneplus buds 3 a solid 8/10 though they sound amazing.

I have the xm4, liberty 4 pro and oneplus buds 3 Sony xm4 with the right tips is ahead of them both, reviewers also placing the L4pro ahead of L4 NC Maybe try to adjust tips on your Sony’s xm4/xm5, it sure are among the best ANC players like Bose and Apple Also I changed the oneplus buds 3 tips with foam tips and surprisingly they are on par with L4P

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.

My vote is Soundcore. Best sound, battery, and ANC under $100 hands down. The only things that hold it back really are bad call quality and their multipoint connection is pretty bad. OnePlus Buds 3 might be an overall more polished experience. Sound, battery, and ANC aren't as good, but all other features like control and app are better. I dropped them from the 2nd floor of a motel by accident once and the buds and case survived.

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.

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.

One plus 3 buds are a smidge better than the liberty 4nc by soundcore. But the problem I'm facing with the soundcore is the battery life is plain horrible (not as advertised, so be warned). If the supposed battery life claims are true, soundcore is worth buying (cause I dunno whether I received a lemon when I bought it cause sri lankan warranty claims for this sorta thing is a clownshow (bought from simplytek))

Yes, research a bit on them before buying. I bought their buds 3 and they are good. Also, OnePlus is a reputable brand out of the other options you get in the price.

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

I would go with the Oneplus buds 3. They don't have the best ANC, but it's passable for most times/places. The sound quality is really good, better than my much more expensive Jabra Elite 10s gen 1. I also feel they have the best implementation of 3D audio i have experienced in earbuds.

I have OnePlus Buds 3, they have a special mode for video which helps with reducing the latency a lot. Maybe look for ones with a mode like that? I think most modern earbuds have something like that

No, I have the normal ones not the Pro. I've only used it for video's and indeed the sound quality will be less than in normal mode, but the latency improves. I don't know how useful it is for gaming, because I did not use them for that.

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.

My ears hurt from the OnePlus Buds 3. I’ve tried different ear tips but it didn’t help. Could you tell me if the fit on the OnePlus Buds 4 is different from the Buds 3? Because if they are the same, I’ll have to keep looking. My OnePlus Buds 3 are perfect in every way except for comfort…

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

Right now the Earfun Air Pro 4 and CMF Buds Pro 2/2 Plus (I have the Pro 2). I use these more than my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, my Technics AZ80, and my Soundcore Liberty 4NC have been unused on my shelf for months since I got these. I've had a lot of them. Airpods, Beats, Jabra, Sennheiser, Samsung, etc. The Earfun and CMF take the cake for me. The Oneplus Buds 3 were great too but they hurt my ears after a while.

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

Terrible there ate so many great buds in that price range (ear fun air pro 4, sound core liberty 4 NC, oneplus buds 3 etc etc) I wouldn't even consider these. # #

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 have a bass heavy sound and are overall solid buds at a good price point.

one and only oneplus buds 3..liberty 4 nc has no mono mode.

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

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

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.

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.

One Plus Buds 3 I have two pairs and they hit way above there weight class. Ergonomically very comfortable and Sound Quality is very good. Phone calls in busy environment are excellent.

Anker soundcore 4 nc will go more than 8 hours with ANC Off. Also with ANC Off my Oneplus Buds 3 will go 10 hours.

OnePlus Buds 3 4 or 3 Pro Great base and you don't sacrifice midtones and highs.

one plus buds 3 enjoyer

Oneplus buds 3 or galaxy buds 3, or you can get the pro versions and put foam tips on instead of the gummy silicone ones

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

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

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

I have at home right now: Airpods because I sold my iPhone. Oneplus buds 3 Pro because I bought Oneplus 12. Today I bought Samsung Buds 3 Pro because I bought S24U yesterday. I will sell the Airpods because I don't own anything after 15+ years from Apple and feel right now that there will be nothing more from them. Oneplus 12 I read a lot about on Reddit and YT and it would be a mobile that was the best of all on the market (that's the impression I got) but in my opinion the reality is something else. I sold fairly new Oneplus 12 after 5 days and Oneplus Buds because they felt cheap and sounded bad. I have to say that the Oneplus Buds sounded much better with the S24U but still sold them because the sound I was not happy with. Today I tested and bought the Samsung Buds 3 Pro because they sound great together with the S24U. I have some much more expensive in-ear both closed and open back headphones here at home and can compare a bit, but the Samsung Buds feel solid and sound quite nice.

I second this one plus buds super unnai

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.

Second the OnePlus BP3 and you get better ANC and Transparency with them. Here's Picky Audio's rating of the two. Personally I think the BP3 is an 8.5 in SQ. I haven't heard or used the Nothing Ears. but i've used the CMF Plus 3 and it's pretty good, but not as good as the BP3 Here's Picky Audio's scoring, I personally disagree that the 4's sound as good as the 3's and the ANC on the 3's is better than the 4's for me. it's strong but tuned differently.
