OnePlus - Buds Pro

Currently trying to decide between Denon perl pro and soundcore liberty 4 pro. These are to replace the AZ100s, which for the money I wasn't that impressed with. The app for the soundcore is definitely better, and the sound quality on both is extremely good. I do like the personalised sound profile on the denon's and it equalises the music to how I enjoy my music. I also have the Nothing Ear (2024) and the sound quality is excellent, but unfortunately don't get loud enough for my liking. I've also had the Melomania M100s and I struggled to get the music to sound how I liked it. I also returned the OnePlus buds pro for the same reason.

Call quality is close to my highest concern when shopping for earbuds. I have had great experiences with oneplus earbuds, particularly the buds pro and the buds pro 2. The call quality was much better than other brands I have tried including sony, senheiser, and samsung. They just started selling the oneplus buds 4, which are getting good reviews. I am considering picking up a pair. Many earbud reviews on youtube compare the call quality of various brands/models head to head, I suggest you check out some of those videos.

I use the OnePlus buds pro

Have had the buds pro and buds pro 2. Both died two months outside of warranty. I'm done with buds.

Stay with your One plus, they are already a good choice. If you need new ones the Samsung pros were always a good choice especially paired with Samsung devices for sound and call quality. Beside Samsungs seamless bluetooth cocec which enables hires audio, the pro3s got a planar driver for highs beside a dual speaker/driver unit which is pretty new at that price point and should make a quit good sound possible but Samsung ruined everything swith their latest update.

depends on budget, one plus buds are quite decent per their price!

Anything with a rechargeable none replaceable battery inherently has a limited lifetime. Of the wireless earbud style I've found apple air pods pros to be the most reliable over time. However they're expensive and still a disposable product. I've tried to take the 60% cost for 80% product route on earbuds before but was never truly happy with any product I tried. OnePlus buds are decent and cheap but certainly not apple airpods and I struggled with the in-ear detection. Sony makes a strong competitor to the airpods but again pricey. Overall, unless you love the wireless earbud style, they feel like a luxury product with cut corners. Personally, I have difficulty getting earbuds to stay in my ears and ended up finding Shokz Openrun Pro Bone Conduction headphones. They sound quality is decent. Though like all bone conduction headphones, they lack bass. It's good enough for music unless you're an audiophile. I also find them incredibly comfortable and often forget I'm wearing them after 8 hours in office. I've had 3 pairs over about 10 years now and consider that about as long lasting and reliable as a disposable product can reasonably be. My current pair is about 4 years old now and still going strong.

I will give a shout-out for OnePlus buds, cheap but I'm very happy with them. They replaced my Sony xm3 and I honestly don't see a reason to go back to sony, they were big, unergonomic and expensive.

Makes sense, and I agree with the research and experience in the group. I got a set of skull candy earbuds about a year ago for $20-25 on Amazon, they're a little bigger than my last earbuds, fit great, but they last ~10 hours before needing to go back in the case to charge. Prior to that I had One+ BudZs and they lasted 4 years before a cat stole one and hid it for a few months.

I second this one plus buds super unnai
