OnePlus has now come up with the third generation of its entry-level TWS earbuds called the Nord Buds 3 in India. The earbuds boast up to 32dB of active noise cancellation, BassWave 2.0 technology, a tailored Master EQ, and an exclusive 3D Audio. They offer up to 43 hours of battery life, and battery health certified by TÜV Rheinland.

“We believe that all users have the right to enjoy high-quality audio at any price level,” said Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus. “That's why with the newly launched OnePlus Nord Buds 3, we've brought immersive sound experiences to our entry-level earbuds series, allowing more consumers to enjoy features like outstanding noise cancellation and brilliant bass at an exceptionally competitive price.”

Using feedforward technology, the external microphones of the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 catch ambient sound around the earbuds, which is then inverted using a dedicated digital signal processor (DSP). By generating precise noise cancelling signals, the buds are able to tune out unwanted sounds.

The OnePlus’ AI Clear Calls feature has also been integrated into the Nord Buds 3, leveraging the advanced dual mic system to capture human voices with better clarity and accuracy. Using AI-based algorithm, the earbuds are also able to amplify voices recorded in loud environments to ensure crystal-clear phone calls.

The OnePlus Nord Buds 3 also features the Transparency Mode, which seamlessly blends ambient external sounds with audio from the connected device to enable wearers to maintain awareness of their surroundings without interrupting their musical experience or the flow of their conversation.

Helping to bring audiophile-grade sound experiences to the entry-level OnePlus Nord Buds 3 is a robust 12.4mm extra-large titanized diaphragm featuring an outer layer crafted from 100% TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane), a larger rear cavity, and lighter copper wire coil contributing to an amplified bass depth and crisper treble.

Taking the bass experience to the next level is the latest edition of OnePlus’ cutting-edge bass enhancement technology, BassWave 2.0. By offering an adjustable range of up to ±10dB, BassWave 2.0 enables users to fine-tune bass frequencies specifically to match their own listening style. Overall, the bass level has also been amped up by 2dB to envelope wearers in a deeper, more resonant sound.

Also arriving on the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 is electrifying 3D Audio. Utilizing OnePlus’ proprietary soundscape expansion algorithm, the 3D Audio can be used to create immersive soundscapes with profound depth, precise directionality, and unparalleled realism when paired with OnePlus smartphones.

Adding the final flourish to the exceptional sound quality on the Nord Buds 3 is OnePlus’ Master EQ. Featuring three distinctive modes – Balanced, Serenade, and Bass – the Master EQ makes it effortless to switch between pre-designed sound presets to match a diverse range of music tastes and moods.

The OnePlus Nord Buds 3 offers up to 12 hours of music playback on a single charge with active noise cancellation disabled, and 43 hours of total listening time when paired with the charging case. Fast charging meanwhile provides 11 hours of playback after just a 10-minute charge. In terms of connectivity, the earbuds support Bluetooth 5.4.

The earbuds claim to have a durable build quality and are IP55 rated for water and dust resistance. The OnePlus Nord Buds 3 is 10 per cent smaller and lighter than its predecessor and comes in two modern and elegant colourways – Harmonic Gray and Melodic White. Weighing just 4.2 grams and featuring an upgraded ergonomic design with softer curves where the buds come in contact with the ears, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 offers burdenless comfort and the perfect fit for all-day wear.

Priced at Rs 2,299, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 will be available across multiple channels including oneplus.in, OnePlus Experience Stores, Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, as well as at offline partner stores such as Reliance Digital, Croma, Vijay Sales, Bajaj Electronics and others. The device will go on open sale from September 20.
