But if you want to listen to music the
21st century way, the OnePlus Buds may be for you. These will cost US$ 80 when
they launch next week (July 27), in White initially. If you prefer Gray, you
will have to wait until early August. Unlike the phone, the Buds will also be
available in the US and Canada. However, the "Nord Blue" color combo
will be exclusive to Europe and India.
The Buds boast impressive Warp Charging
speeds – 10 minutes are enough to get 10 hours worth of listening. That is 10 hours
combining the charge inside the buds and their case. The buds themselves get
100 minutes worth of listening in 10 minutes of charging. When fully filled,
the buds and the 430 mAh battery in the case offers 30 hours of listening (for
comparison, AirPods last 24 hours).
There’s a 13.4 mm dynamic driver hiding
inside each bud with Bass Boost and Dolby Atmos options to spice up the audio.
The buds are IPX4 water resistant so they aren’t afraid of splashing water or
sweat. They support Fast Pair and offer customizable double tap and long press
gestures.
