OnePlus - Buds Pro

Don't know about the XM5s, but I have some XM4s and while the sound quality is excellent, they are really big and don't sit easily in the ear. I currently use some OnePlus Buds Pro that are really comfortable and also have excellent sound quality, and, to my ears, better ANC.

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.

As someone who had the Oneplus Buds Pro mostly for going to the gym, I had to switch given that their battery isn't lasting any longer than 1h at most and I picked the Nothing (a) for this job based on the quality:price ratio. I could have went for the airpods but since I'm only using the buds while at the gym and sometimes at home, the price difference didn't add up to my needs.

Status audio 3ANC look no further. OnePlus buds pro are very good too. Sony xm5 are okay but lacked the bass I wanted. Denon perl pro also sound very good too but bulky. 3anc are just my fave. I got a few people to make the switch to them and they love them. They also got a status eq app too. This is all for audio quality. I never used nc at all. I know airpods had best transparency mode though

I have op buds pro from the 7t years.. Are the 3s better in any significant way?

This guy has an extensive spreadsheet of buds he's tested. Personally the Airpods Pro 2, Bose QC Ultra and the One Plus buds 4 all have excellent ANC, the sony's are good, but they are overpriced, the controls suck and I mean suck and the soud quality isn't all that. When i'm in the car with my kids, the Bose do the best job keeping noise out. APPs are great for concerts, live events like games. I just got the one plus' so I haven't tested them extensively but they are better than the one plus 3 pros which I have tested and they are also quite good.

Anker Soundcore Space A40 are amazing for the price, I also got the Liberty 4 ANC which are a notch above. I also have a pair of OnePlus pro which are more than twice the price and while the build quality seems a lot better, the sound and ANC is not twice as good. I'm glad I have them and tried them, but I will probably never pay above 100$ for a pair of earbuds again as they are basically garbage once the battery life is gone.

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.
