They’re unapologetically wireless earbuds, and we can’t fault them for that. The Buds aren’t what we’d call stylish, but they don’t look horrible either.

However, if you struggle with the likes of Apple’s EarPods, you may have similar issues with the OnePlus Buds. However, it wasn’t until after the second day of over five hours of constant use that we realized that wasn’t the case with the Buds.īecause the Buds fit our ears so well, we didn’t have any issues with them falling out while walking or even while on a brief jog. Normally when testing new earbuds, there’s a period of time where our ears get sore as they adjust. We tested the Buds on several occasions, for several hours at a time, and not once did we feel any discomfort. It takes around 80 minutes to fully charge the case and Buds. The Buds should last seven hours before needing a recharge (more on this below). In total, OnePlus estimates 30 hours of total use when additional charging via the case is included. Inside each Bud is a 32mAh battery, with a 420mAh battery inside the case. A USB-C port on the bottom of the case is the only way to charge it.

There’s an indicator light on the front and a button that’s used for pairing or resetting the Buds on the back. The charging case flips open and magnetically holds each bud in place. On the outside is a flat surface, giving you a target to tap on when you use the touch control gestures. They’re made of plastic and lack removable ear tips, making them a one-size-fits-all earbud. The OnePlus Buds look like a mix of Apple’s AirPods and Huawei’s FreeBuds 3.
