The OnePlus Buds 4 have been unveiled alongside the OnePlus Watch 3, bringing premium features like enhanced sound quality, smart noise canceling, and immersive 3D audio. These new earbuds pack a punch with dual drivers and dual DACs, promising superior sound with deep bass and crisp treble.
As part of the OnePlus ecosystem, they integrate seamlessly with OnePlus smartphones for a smooth, user-friendly experience.
Design
The design of the OnePlus Buds 4 is minimalist yet elegant, available in two sophisticated colors: Zen Green and Storm Gray. A Non-Conductive Vacuum Metallization (NCVM) coating, combined with laser engraving, provides a stunning metallic finish and a matte look. Certified IP55, the Buds 4 are resistant to dust and water, making them perfect for workouts or light rain, though they shouldn’t be submerged. Additionally, users now have the convenience of controlling the volume directly on the earbuds by swiping up or down on the stem-something that was previously only possible via the phone.
Audio Experience
For audiophiles, the OnePlus Buds 4 offer a rich and clear sound experience. With a dual-driver system and dual DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters), the earbuds handle both high and low frequencies with precision. The frequency range spans from 15Hz to 40kHz, offering an impressive depth of sound. The upgraded 11mm woofer provides a punchy bass, while the 6mm tweeter ensures sharp, crisp treble. These earbuds deliver a sound that’s reminiscent of high-end studio headphones, whether you’re into classical, hip-hop, or podcasts.
Advanced Features
Equipped with a dual DAC and LDHC 5.0 Bluetooth codec, the OnePlus Buds 4 deliver high-fidelity audio and an expansive dynamic range. They’re Hi-Res Audio Wireless certified by the Japan Audio Society (JAS), ensuring a studio-quality listening experience. Golden Sound, a personalized tuning system, adapts the sound to your unique ear canal shape for the best possible audio. A dedicated listening test further fine-tunes the sound to suit your preferences.
OnePlus 3D Audio enhances the experience with surround sound capabilities, creating spatial depth and realism. The adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) adjusts automatically based on your surroundings, and a 3-microphone Call Noise Cancellation system ensures crystal-clear calls. You can even fine-tune ANC settings via the OnePlus Audio app.
Connectivity and AI Features
The Buds 4 also support Steady Connect (on select OnePlus devices), offering a stable Bluetooth connection with a range of up to 250 meters. With dual-device connectivity, you can easily switch between your phone and a laptop, making multitasking simple. Additionally, AI-powered translation is available, allowing for seamless communication between people speaking different languages through the earbuds and OnePlus phone.
Battery Life
The OnePlus Buds 4 provide up to 11 hours of playback without ANC, and with the charging case, users can enjoy a total of 45 hours of immersive listening. Fast charging capabilities ensure that you can get back to enjoying your music quickly. The OnePlus Buds 4 are priced at $129.99 and will be available from July 8 on oneplus.com and Amazon.
