The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are OnePlus’s flagship true wireless earbuds, built for users who want premium sound quality, strong ANC, and advanced smart features in a compact design.
They feature a high-end dual-driver setup developed with Dynaudio, using:
- 11mm woofer for deep bass
- 6mm tweeter for detailed highs
Each driver has its own dedicated DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter), which helps deliver cleaner separation, wider soundstage, and more balanced audio compared to normal earbuds.
The earbuds support:
- Hi-Res Audio
- LHDC 5.0 codec
- 24-bit / 192kHz playback
- Spatial Audio with head tracking
This gives a more immersive listening experience for music, movies, and gaming.
One of the strongest features is the Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC):
- Up to 50dB noise reduction
- Adaptive real-time noise control
- Improved voice isolation during calls
The earbuds use:
- 3 microphones per side
- Bone conduction voice sensor (VPU)
- AI noise reduction algorithms
This helps improve call clarity in noisy environments.
Battery life is excellent:
- Up to 10 hours on the earbuds alone (ANC off)
- Up to 43 hours total with the charging case
- Fast charging gives up to 13 hours playback in 10 minutes
- Supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging on supported phones

Some Reddit users described them as one of the best sounding earbuds OnePlus has made so far, especially after EQ tuning.
