OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro debut in India with better ANC, AI features, and longer battery life

After a tease last week, OnePlus has now announced the Nord Buds 4 Pro. The new pair of wireless earbuds arrive as successors to the Nord Buds 3 Pro released in July 2024.

As previously reported, the Nord Buds 4 Pro are rocking a new design, but still remain in-ear earbuds. Available in Radiant Gray and Raven Black, the earbuds are equipped with 12mm titanium-coated drivers which are reported to deliver 100% more power than the Nord Buds 3 Pro.

The Nord Buds 4 Pro have active noise cancellation, but at 55dB, OnePlus says they offer a 200% improvement over the previous generation. There are three levels of ANC — Light, moderate, and maximum — and the earbuds alternate in real-time depending on the environment. 

Each earbud has three microphones, and they work with a proprietary AI algorithm to detect and reduce wind and traffic noise during calls. Another new feature of the earbuds is that they are Hi-Res Audio certified and have support for LHDC 5.0. They also have 3D spatial audio and Game Sound spatial audio.

The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro have a battery life of up to 54 hours with the charging case. However, the battery life will vary depending on whether ANC is on/off and if you are listening in AAC or LHDC mode. There's fast charging as a 10-minute charge will provide 13 hours of playback.

The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro are priced at ₹3,999 (~$43/€37/£32) in India, a slight increase from the ₹3,299 launch price of the Nord Buds 3 Pro. They will be available to buy, starting on March 23. Unfortunately, no details have been revealed about availability in other regions.
