OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro Truly Wireless Bluetooth in Ear Earbuds with Upto 49Db Active Noise Cancellation,12.4Mm Dynamic Drivers,10Mins for 11Hr Fast Charging with Upto 44Hrs Music Playback[Soft Jade]

I paid ₹1.9k for this, less that the ₹3k I spent for my OnePlus Nord Buds 2 which I bought back in 2023. Those are still operational, I have to this date never faced any problems with my Buds 2 despite dragging it through some of the worst weather conditions possible and with minimal maintenance. The only time I ever struggled with it was when I lost the rubber tip while rushing into a taxi during an intensifying storm. Even then I got replacement tips and I was back to using them within the week. I hope to get similar performance from these considering these buds are the natural progression of these earbuds.From using it for a few days and comparing it with the One Plus Nord Buds 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE, I can say that the sound quality is definitely better than the Nord Buds 2 and in most cases matches the Galaxy Buds FE but the Galaxy Buds completely dusts these earbuds when it comes to bass heavy music and having a better more natural sounding ANC. Though you need to keep in mind that I am comparing a ₹1.9k earbuds to a ₹5k earbuds here. For 1.9k or even the ₹2.3k price tag these earbuds are unbeatable. You get respectable sound quality, durability and ample support due to OnePlus's growing international presence.The headphones charge extremely fast, you can get almost a whole days use out of about 30-45 minutes of fast charging, though I do not know how it will affect the battery longevity. There is no option within the HeyMelody application to limit the charging speed, maybe because the company is sure that fast charging isn't going to cause that much of a noticeable damage to the product long term.When using with a One Plus device the pairing is seamless. My OnePlus phone picked up the earbuds almost as soon as I opened the case for pairing, and once paired the connection is seamless and instantaneous consistently. There is an audio cue indicating a successful connection from the earbuds. You also get the same cue when switching between the ANC mode and the Ambient sound profile which kind of allows you to be aware of your surroundings while isolating and suppressing some of the more deafening sounds in your vicinity.Within this price range these earbuds are unbeatable. I will update the review if I encounter any problems. As of now, I definitely recommend.
