In the midst of the fierceness of the market for truly wireless earbuds, I have got a new pair of wireless earbuds that I so much like. The OnePlus Buds Pro true wireless earbuds are the premium quality and deliver cool sound quality. Why do these true wireless earbuds make me very delighted? Let’s see the answer in the OnePlus Buds Pro review.

OnePlus Buds Pro’s Design – Mini Wireless Earbuds

Let’s start with the design of the charging case, sleek and unique design. It is a characteristic design charging case and is quite small, the dimension is around 1.26″ x 0.91″ x 0.67″, and the weight is 52g (charging case). The OnePlus Buds Pro is mini wireless earbuds that are easy to carry and also have a firm and solid touch, feel the durability.

The OnePlus Buds Pro is not just a mini wireless charging case, the ability is complete as well. There is a small LED on the front to indicate the battery and charging status. On the back is located of USB type C port for charging.

The one amazing feature of these mini wireless earbuds is super fast-charging. If charged with the OnePlus own warp charge, you can get additional 10 hours for charging for only 10 minutes. I honestly say it’s amazing and I’ve never seen any wireless earbuds that charge this fast.

The design of the earbuds is a short stem. Two-tone design style, it’s a matte color on the buds and a shiny color on the stem. These mini wireless earbuds are in-ear headphones style. The tip is a silicone tip. In the box, there are another 2 sizes of silicone tips (a total are 3 different sizes). Please choose one that fits your ears. If you wear the wrong size, it will be uncomfortable and the sound is not so good.

OnePlus Buds Pro Review – Battery Life and Playtime

Besides, the warp charging that offers up to 10 hours additional of playtime, the OnePlus Buds Pro provides a strong battery life too. These mini wireless earbuds provide up to 7 hours continuously without ANC being turned on (ANC off). If you turned on ANC mode, you will get playtime for around 5 hours. The charging case can provides about 4 times. That means the total playtime of the OnePlus Buds Pro provides up to 38 hours of playtime for ANC is turned off.

OnePlus Buds Pro Mini Wireless Earbuds with IP55 Waterproof

The company claim that the Buds Pro can insist on up to an IP55 rating of waterproof and dustproof. That means it can be sweatproof, and rainproof but can’t immerse in the water. So, you can’t wear them for swimming.

The IP55 rating is can use for exercise. It can use outdoor or in the gym, fitness as well. If you choose fit size, it is quite a secure fit and firm on your ears.

The charging case is rated as IPX4 level. Which you can take to anywhere without worrying.

OnePlus Buds Pro True Wireless Earbuds – The Sound Quality

The most important matter is the sound quality when looking for the best wireless earbuds. The OnePlus Buds Pro does not make me disappointed. The sound quality is very impressive. With 11mm driver provides good sound quality and is well balanced. The Buds Pro provides a good balance between bass, mids, and highs. The bass is heavy and impact but not overwhelming. The mids are clean and clear and also sweet. The highs are not too high, slightly blunt at the end, and comfortable listening. Not spiky and sparkling.

Unfortunately, the OnePlus Buds Pro does not support hi-res. But the important thing is these wireless earbuds support audio codecs like SBC, AAC, and LHDC (low latency high-definition).

The LHDC is a higher quality audio compression format than SBC, aptX, and AAC. This is a standard that is closed to the LDAC of Sony and aptX Adaptive of Qualcomm.

All in all, the OnePlus Buds Pro’s sound quality, is very impressive since the first listening. It provides a well-balanced sounding.

OnePlus Buds Pro Review – Smart Adaptive Noise Cancellation

These mini wireless earbuds are not just on or off ANC. They also adjustable the ANC level for a great appropriate cancellation level. The Buds Pro comes with Smart Adaptive Noise Cancellation that can block outside noise up to 40 dB. With 3 adjustable options: Faint noise-canceling (15dB), and the highest level: Extreme noise-canceling can block external noise up to 40dB. The middle level is Smart noise-canceling, which is smart adaptive noise-canceling up to a sound environment.

OnePlus Audio ID

You can customize the sound with the Oneplus Audio app that should be used with the OnePlus smartphone. For other brands of mobile phones, you can download the HyeMelody app (both Android and iOS) for use with the OnePlus Audio app. The app lets you various sound settings as you like, and design your own listening experience with easy to use with UI.

But I recommend using with OnePlus mobile, any customizations will be very seamless and more suitable than using other brands of mobiles.

Zen Mode Air

The natural sound is ideal for listening while working. There are 5 relaxing sound options great for those who working and listening to music at the same time.
