OnePlus Buds, Price Release Date, Features, Specs

OnePlus Buds will have 30 hours of total battery life (with case), OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau has revealed. Lau shared the news on the OnePlus community forum where the executive stated that the upcoming OnePlus Buds, the company's first true wireless earbuds, will have an ergonomic design and a “burdenless experience”. Further, the image in the post offers the first look at the design of the OnePlus Buds that will be revealed on July 21, which is also the launch date for the highly anticipated OnePlus Nord.

As per the community forum post by Pete Lau, the OnePlus Buds will have an ergonomic design to make sure they are comfortable over long periods. For this, the TWS earbuds by OnePlus use a half-in-ear design and have a refined shape that will sit securely in most people's ears, according to Lau. The OnePlus Buds have a claimed total battery life of 30 hours.

The buds themselves can deliver over seven hours of battery life and the case can charge them “more than three times”, thus giving up to 30 hours of use. The OnePlus Buds weigh 4.6 grams and the charging case weighs 36 grams, as stated by Lau.

Talking about the “burdenless experience”, Lau shared that the OnePlus Buds will deliver an effortless experience with a wide range of smartphones and work seamlessly with OnePlus phones. This may be a hint at a seamless connectivity feature that automatically connects the earbuds to the phone when they are taken out of the case or when the case is opened. Further, the OnePlus Buds will come with ultra-low latency that will help while gaming on an OnePlus phone.

OnePlus Buds, as seen in the forum post, will come in black color and might have other color options as well. The design follows the same aesthetic as the previous wired and wireless earphones of the past, but with a ‘stem'. It falls right in line with the leaked renders that surfaced last month. The render also showed the case of the OnePlus Buds which might also turn out to be the actual design for the final product.

Till now, not a lot of information has been revealed about the company's first truly wireless earbuds besides the aforementioned details. However, more can be expected in the coming days ahead of the launch.

Oneplus Buds Release Date

The OnePlus Buds will be unveiled on July 21, alongside the highly-anticipated OnePlus Nord. We already had the 21st marked down in our diaries as OnePlus has previously released its Bullets headphones alongside smartphones. Just in April, the company unveiled the Bullets Wireless Z during the OnePlus 8 launch. The announcement will take place during a virtual AR event. You can watch the launch live using the OnePlus Nord AR app available from Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Oneplus Buds Features

According to Max J., whose previous ‘Buds’ name leak proved true, OnePlus’ new headphones will look similar to the render below. If this is accurate, we can expect the in-ears to bear some resemblance to Apple’s AirPods.A pair of OnePlus headphones were spotted on the SGS Fimko certification platform last week (via MySmartPrice). The listing refers to a pair of wireless Bluetooth earphones from OnePlus under the model name E501A. According to the certification, along with sources in the industry, the headphones will feature 7.5W charging.

Making Life Easier

The Bullets Wireless gives you freedom, power, and convenience. Designed for durability and comfort, you can effortlessly switch between music, calls, and Google Assistant. All bases covered.

Designed for Comfort.

Thanks to a perfectly weighted aluminum alloy construction, whether you’re heading to work, working out, or relaxing, your earphones will stay in place. A stretch-resistant cable connects the earphones, while the battery part rests comfortably on your neck.

Magnetic Control

Use our new Magnetic Control feature to take control of your music. You no longer have to press the pause button on your phone to stop the music. Simply clip the Bullets together magnetically to turn them off. When you’re ready to resume your music, just separate them. It’s that simple!

If you're using OnePlus 5 or above, you can also make use of the Auto Play function. Your music will resume from the point at which you stopped it. To enable it, go to Settings > Sound & vibration > Earphone mode, then turn on Auto Play. (OnePlus 5/5T will support Auto Play function after OxygenOS updates released in August.)

Control Your Music.

Use the Bullets Wireless with Google Assistant for added convenience. Get instant directions to a bar or save a reminder for a special dinner, all without taking your phone out of your pocket. It’s the ultimate in interaction. To enable Google Assistant and Voice Calls, first pair your Bullets Wireless with your phone. Then go to Settings > Sound & vibration > Earphone mode, and turn on Call information broadcast.

Clear Sound

Our mission was to create a wireless product that combined quality with convenience so that you get the best of both worlds. Your music on the move with the sound you get at home.

Superior Audio

We don't sacrifice quality for convenience. Qualcomm aptXTM preserves sound data to ensure the best possible audio quality across a wireless connection.

Energy Tube.

Once the audio reaches the earphones, the Energy Tube absorbs stray soundwaves to minimize distortion. The Bullets Wireless also contains premium 9.2mm drivers for a fuller, richer bass experience.

The Charge for Minutes, Listen for Hours

Get up to 5 hours of listening time on a single 10-minute charge. A full charge gives you up to 8 hours of listening time. All you need is a standard USB-C cable. Charge on! So how does this compare with charging times for other wireless earphones? Well, we ran a 25-minute test. Here are the results. The tests were performed in laboratory conditions. Please allow for slight variations based on usage conditions.
