OnePlus Buds Pro 3 in for review

Today we have with us the latest flagship earbuds by OnePlus, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3. The third generation model comes with all the bells and whistles, including audio tuned by the Danish high-end speaker maker, Dynaudio.

The device comes in two colors. The first is Midnight Opus, which has a black and gray finish. The other is Lunar Radiance, which is the model we have here.

OnePlus has opted for a two-tone color and texture combo. The front and back of the case has a leather-like texture that is a light tan color while the sides have a deeper gold finish. The leather-like texture is just a visual trick as this is neither real nor fake leather but just hard plastic. Because of this, the case does look quite nice but doesn't feel especially premium in hand.

What's impressive is the overall build quality of the case, with everything from the even panel gaps and the perfectly sturdy hinge with zero sideways movement showing attention to detail.

Inside, the earbuds have the same two-tone color scheme as the case. The design is similar to the OnePlus Buds 3 but the carved out L and R symbols is more reminiscent of the recently launched Nord Buds 3 Pro. Confused by all the names yet? Don't worry, you're not alone.

There's not much else we can say right now. We will have more to talk about in our full review next week.
