I got oneplus buds the original one and i loved them eventually got the oneplus buds z2 and they have been good but goddamn durable these fuckers just wont die. I am the type who wont buy new things until the last one completely breaks. This pair has been in the washer twice with the case and they were soaked in a pot of water with soap without the case once for like few hours. They worked normally until my dog chewed one bud up. I might get these now.
I have the originals. Still rockin!
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.
If you have oneplus/oppo/realme phone, pick OnePlus buds, because there phones support LHDC that you can find only from these brands mostly
i owned both OP and T310, oneplus sounded better imo. And the app support worked on my iphone unlike the Realme. I currently own airpods :)
