"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

The bass on the Oneplus side is Awesome 👍 👍 You Can't Achive that Tighter and Depp bass on this both Realme buds werher you use External or Internal Equalizer doesn't matter ... I really liked this Oneplus Sound"

"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."

"Transparency Mode is good on both. OnePlus sounds a bit more natural. ... They are excellent, after a while I forgot that I had them in the ear because they are so lightweight. I could hear everything naturally, although a little bit amplified, but there was no artifacts or distortion from the buds. Walking through the vegetable section I could clearly hear the misting of the vegetables going on about 30 ft away, I could hear people talking clearly and everything as if the buds weren't in my ear. ... Then walking through the parking lot I could hear the electric cars slowly creeping up on me and carts creaking from a while away ... So yes, the transparency mode is amazing, tier S as they would say"
"the transparency mode is the best I’ve heard yet"
"It also has way better anc and transparency which probably does make up for the sound. ... I think the Buds 4 smokes it out of the water. Buds 4 are comparable to Ear 2024s"

"the fit was terrible for me ... so I returned them"
"I had the same problem and returned them."
"But, notably heavier. ... And man, these being heavy, really makes it hard to keep in the ears. ... I'm finding these are heavy and have a hard time staying in the ear ... I noticed that too. These are the first iem that give me problem with staying in my ears. ... Yea, it's big enough of an issue, that I might resell these. It's frustrating to use them lol ... I never found a set that made them stay perfectly, except for liquid silicone tips, but didn't like the way they sounded ... These are heavy though. Easily double to 2.5x, maybe even 3x the weight of my s12 2024's. TBD on how I feel on that lol."

"My only complain(s) is that the transparency automatically turns off when it hears wind in the mics ... I'm trying to hear my surroundings outside, but i live in the UK and it's been very windy recently, so the transparency is basically off the whole time I'm outside. It's really annoying."
"The only 1 con I have is the transparency, it turns on ANC when detecting wind and no option to turn it off."
"Not sure what oneplus were thinking when they implemented this transparency mode - (it was the reason i returned them actually :-( )"

"the only thing that they need is wireless charging and they would be perfect. ... the Huawei Freebuds are almost double the price and these OnePlus are better on everything except for the lack of wireless charging."
"The fact that it has no wireless charging, many others see this as a suffering"
"If only they had Wireless Charging, they'd be truly perfect"

"While listening to music on the phone has been great, trying to play music on my laptop from Youtube is producing a teeny sound, I am not sure what happening here. ... But I reset the buds and cycleed my computer and its still the same, I can barely hear music or voices, but I can on my other buds. ... This will be concerning if this persist."

"So bass heavy out of the box that vocals and highs are getting lost behind. ... still highs sound kinda harsh and stage is quite tight. Not what I expected."
"their bass is not as powerful as I thought ... they are not as dynamic ... they do not vibrate in my ear ... I increase the basswave to 5 and it doesn't vibrate ... I don't notice the bass of the buds 4"
"for the twice the price sound in Pro 2 was like 1.5x better"
I have both and I find the Buds 4 to be inferior. Battery life seems worse on the Buds 4 but more importantly the audio quality on the 4 is not as good as the Buds Pro 3. Buds 4 sound a bit tinny and not as immersive as the Pro3. Lows, mids, and highs all seem a bit congested on the 4 compared to the Pro3. When I put on the Buds Pro 3, it sounds damn good. When I put on the 4, it sounds just ok.
r/oneplus • OnePlus Buds Pro 3 — Honest Review ->If you wanna go on a budget, the oneplus buds 4 seem to be well rounded under $100. If you want to spend more, Technics AZ 100, Noble Fokus Rex 5, B&W Pi8, Soundpeats H3 are more focused for their sound but other features are weaker. If you're using an iphone, might want to consider the Airpods Pro 3. Huawei Freebuds pro 4 are well rounded. Edit. Other well known buds are Sony XM5, Sennheiser Momentum 4, JBL tour pro 3,
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds to get in Australia 2025 ->I see. I have the OnePlus buds 4, Earfun Air pro 4, Soundpeats H3, Bose Quietcomfort 2024. The ANC on OnePlus Buds 4 is quite good. Not sure about the tube though. My usage is more towards office noise. The ANC works great with office noise. But the best ANC among the 4 earbuds is Bose Quietcomfort 2024.
r/Earbuds • Best ANC earbuds under £100 to block the subway noises? ->I bought these on trial to possibly replace my Pixel Buds Pro 2, and my PBP2s have been sitting in a drawer ever since. These fit better, sound better, and ANC works better for me (probably has to do with the better fit as well) - SERIOUSLY impressive. The only software feature I miss from the Pixel Buds is the low volume EQ thing, and the only hardware nitpick I have with the Oneplus buds is that the case feels a tiny bit flimsy. But they are 100% my go to recommendation when people ask me what earbuds to buy at this point.
r/Earbuds • I am heavily surprised by the quality of these $60 earbuds ->i have small ears and theyre perfect, almost like not wearing anything at all while being very secure
r/Earbuds • how to choose wireless earbuds in 2025 without losing your mind? honestly… ->Op buds 4 thanks me later
r/headphonesindia • Which one should I buy? ->I bought the same pair couple of days ago and I love it everything's better than my existing buds. The one thing I really hated were the default ear tips that came in the box they fit my ear but they just slip out all three off the sizes Only been couple of days other than that I really like it
r/Earbuds • Thoughts on OnePlus Buds 4 after 1 week. ->Well I have used all 3 so maybe I can pitch in. I didn't like the ANC on the OnePlus buds 3 pro. The OnePlus 4 had raving reviews and they are pretty cheap in my country so I picked them up but unfortunately the ANC isn't great and for me calls are really important. The ANC is good with music on but can't do much when outdoor on calls. I would suggest the Samsung Buds 3 pro incase you are looking for something as an upgrade
r/Earbuds • I am heavily surprised by the quality of these $60 earbuds ->I am in the same struggle now to decide which one is good but finally ordered One Plus buds 4 .
r/Earbuds • I've been struggling for a month now ->One Plus makes solid earbuds. I’ve enjoyed mine.
r/Earbuds • I am heavily surprised by the quality of these $60 earbuds ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
