OnePlus Buds Pro is OnePlus’ latest TWS earbuds in 2021, and it is also OnePlus’s first true wireless earphones that supports noise reduction. OnePlus Buds Pro has two color schemes, each with completely different materials, and the craftsmanship is very delicate. At the same time, the earphone itself uses matte and metal texture, which collides with a strong design language.
In appearance, the charging case uses a square flip design, with the word “ONEPLUS” printed in the middle of the lid. The black version is mainly matte texture, and the white version uses piano paint. The earphone part adopts the high-gloss nano-NCVM coating process, as well as spraying and laser carving process polishing, so that it shows two different textures.
In terms of configuration, it has a built-in 11mm large unit, bluetooth 5.2 main control chip, supports LHDC audio codec, and supports personalized listening and Dolby panoramic sound effects. The newly-added intelligent active noise reduction function has a maximum noise reduction depth of 40dB, and supports transparent mode and three-microphone call noise reduction function. In other respects, it uses pressure-sensitive buttons, supports IP55 dustproof and waterproof, supports fast charging, wireless charging, and has a maximum battery life of 28 hours.
