OnePlus Buds 3 makes its global debut across Europe, North America and the UK

OnePlus has presented its Buds 3 earbuds globally, under three weeks after their debut in China. Presented together with the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R, the Buds 3 comes in Metallic Grey and Splendid Blue colours with a €99/£99/$99 MSRP. Understandably, OnePlus has equipped the Buds 3 with mid-range hardware, which includes:

• 1x 10.4 mm woofer
• 1x 6 mm tweeter
• 1x 58 mm battery per earbud
• 1x 520 mAh charging case battery

According to OnePlus, the earbuds themselves should last up to 10 hours between charges but with their active noise cancellation (ANC) disabled. Meanwhile, the bundled charging case is said to deliver a combined 44-hour runtime before it needs topping up itself. For reference, the earbuds only need to spend 10 minutes recharging for up to 7 hours of battery life.

Separately, OnePlus claims that the Buds 3 attenuates up to 49 dB of background noise through its built-in microphones. Certified by TÜV Rheinland as providing 'High Performance Noise Cancellation', the Buds 3 also ships with OnePlus' Smart Scene Noise Cancellation 2.0 technology for automatically choosing the most appropriate ANC preset based on your surrounding environment.

Unfortunately, the Buds 3 lacks Qualcomm aptX Adaptive or LDAC Bluetooth codec integration. Instead, the earbuds support LHDC 5.0 with 15 Hz-40 kHz frequency response and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification. Please see OnePlus' website for more details.
