OnePlus Buds Pro 3 review

20 August 2024
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are the latest pair of true wireless earbuds from the company.

A pity you didn't test the golden sound feature, I've heard it does magic in improving sound quality.

Overall, it's disappointing that you don't want to take the earbuds reviews to a more serious level (do more measurements, charts , tests, graphs, etc.) as you do with smartphones.

    Yikes, how can one manage to turn their product from good to trash in a single small update? I really hope for them that it was an accident and will be returned to the previous state. That being said, I hate how these seemingly try to get a slice of the Samsung Buds 3 Pro cake. The previous model was names Oneplus Buds Pro 2, so swapping the name around seems to convenient to be an accident. Shame on you, Oneplus.

      I'm no audiophile by any means and have never owned audiophile grade earbuds/headphones so my point of reference is pretty average to decently good pair of earbuds but it's good to hear all the details here that I didn't see anyone else mention.

      These seem like pretty good value for money especially at the $149 price. I don't know how much of an upgrade it would be over my Pixel Buds Pro's now. I'm a bit salty about the price of the Pixel Buds Pro 2's even with the $30 Amazon giftcard promo going on right now which brings it down to the $199 MSRP of the first PBP's but I feel like these would be more of an improvement in terms of good audio fundamentals than the PBP2 would be over the PBP1.

        Is there a method to conduct to extract and reverse ingeneering your unaltered OnePlus Buds and have the secret sauce for the original Dynaudio tunning ?
