Leak reveals OnePlus Nord Buds 3 with brand new design
The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 have a combination of advanced features such as active noise cancellation (ANC), dynamic drivers with a diameter of 12.4 millimeters, IP55 certification, Bluetooth 5.3 and support for Dolby Atmos at an attractive price.
Now, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is reportedly preparing to launch a successor model, according to reliable leaker @OnLeaks, who has already published render images (embedded below) on MySmartPrice that show the fundamentally revised design of the fully wireless earphones. Both the charging case and the earphones are much more rounded than before. The case combines a glossy finish on the lid with a matte finish on the rest of the case.
The OnePlus logo is now on the front instead of the top. The earbuds replace the 'angular' stems of the previous models with oval ends. It remains unknown when or at what price the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 will be offered on the market. But there is certainly a lot of potential for improvement.
The Nord Buds 2 lack, among other things, a flexible equalizer that allows users to adjust the sound to their own preferences. Higher-quality Bluetooth codecs such as Qualcomm aptX or Sony LDAC are also lacking, while the active noise cancellation is only able to dampen disturbing ambient noise up to a maximum of 25 dB, while other rival models advertise over 45 dB.
