Leaked Insights: OnePlus Buds 3 Price and Key Specifications Revealed Before January 4 Debut
Anticipated Feature: Potential 48dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for OnePlus Buds 3
The impending launch of the OnePlus Buds 3 TWS earphones in China on January 4, coinciding with the introduction of the OnePlus Ace 3 smartphone, has created significant anticipation. Despite the absence of the ‘Pro’ label this time, these earphones are expected to follow in the footsteps of their predecessor, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, introduced in January 2023. Ahead of their official unveiling, a recent online report has provided insights into the potential pricing and highlighted key specifications of the forthcoming true wireless earbuds.
As per a report by Allround-PC, the OnePlus Buds 3 might hit the market at a price point of EUR 99, approximately Rs. 9,000. Notably, the company has already disclosed the available color choices for the earphones, offering them in Clear Sea Blue and Space Grey variants.
According to the report, the OnePlus Buds 3 could feature a 10.4mm driver paired with a 6mm tweeter. Anticipated standout features include the incorporation of 48dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), along with Google Fast Pair functionality and dual connectivity options. Furthermore, expectations suggest these true wireless earbuds might boast an IP55 rating, ensuring resistance against dust and splashes. Such durability credentials are poised to make them suitable for various activities, including sports and withstanding light rainfall.
Meanwhile, tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) claimed in a Weibo post that the OnePlus Buds 3 may offer a 3D surround sound experience and support LHDC 5.0. These earphones are also likely to offer a total battery life of up to 44 hours. They have previously been tipped to offer up to 33 hours of playback time along with the case.
An earlier leak also suggested that the OnePlus Buds 3 are expected to pack a 58mAh battery in each earbud and a 520mAh battery in the storage case with 4.5W input and 1.2W output support. The earphones have also been tipped to support Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
They will debut in China on January 4 but their global launch has not yet been confirmed. These TWS earphones may come to the global markets, including India and Europe, later in the month, possibly alongside the OnePlus 12R on January 23.
