OnePlus Buds; The Cheap Alternative To The Apple Air Pods
The Apple AirPods is by far the most popularly seen device on the planet. For every person you see within a square mile radius, you'll find AirPods attached to human ears. The wireless audio revolution has come upon us. So it should not surprise many to find some form of Bluetooth headsets dawn in or on the ears of smartphone users.
The AirPods, hate em like, they are here to stay. But here's the thing, AirPod, especially the Pro models, are grossly expensive, retailing for $249. But why settle for AirPods? The market is fully saturated with earbuds at different prices, delivering quality audio, and have impeccable features. Speaking of which, the OnePlus Buds is reasonably cheap, retailing for just $79 with excellent features.
For starters, the design of the OnePlus Buds mimics the Apple flagship earbuds. Even the charging case is very much Apple-like. However, the charging case is more oval and appears to be slightly bigger.
Regarding OnePlus Pods features, you certainly get more for the price. It is equipped with a noise-canceling algorithm with three microphones, filtering out background noise for impeccable sound clarity. Deep bass and clear vocals are made possible by a 13.4mm dynamic drive within the Pods, which, according to the spec sheet, will offer 3D stereo with Dolby Atmos. Like most earbuds, the OnePlus Buds have a customizable tap feature that controls the volume, answer phone calls and skip and proceed to the next track.
What stands out to me is OnePlus Buds ability to charge in just 10 mins, offering ten full hours of listening time and 7 hours of music play. The case allows up to 30 hours of listening time.
You can pair the OnePlus Buds with any Bluetooth enabled smartphone, but for fast pairing and better functionality, the earbuds will probably operate well with OnePlus smartphones. These earbuds were launched right alongside the OnePlus Nord smartphone. Still and all, if you're a wallet-conscious consumer looking to purchase some earbuds, the OnePlus Buds is the obvious best choice.
