Brar didn’t mention any pricing information for the Western markets, but earlier leaks suggested the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 could be around €199 in Europe, or about $217 USD. That’s a €20 bump from earlier models.
OnePlus seems to be shaking things up with its new flagship earbuds. Leaked images show they’ll have a sleek dual-tone look, keeping some style from the current model.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3’s charging case is supposedly getting a stylish upgrade with a faux leather finish. Leaked images from Brar also reveal new left (L) and right (R) markings on the earbuds and a fresh white color option.
The Buds Pro 3 might also have an impressive battery life of up to 43 hours. Plus, with Bluetooth 5.4, you’ll get better connectivity and audio quality.
The earbuds will likely have the same driver setup as the previous model, with an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter in each earbud. But don’t fret about audio upgrades—OnePlus might be working with Dynaudio to fine-tune the sound. Plus, noise cancellation is expected to get a boost, with up to 50dB of noise reduction.
The earbuds are said to upgrade to LHDC 5.0 codec technology, moving beyond the LHDC 4.0 found in the Buds Pro 2.
Earlier leaks also revealed that the Buds Pro 3 will boast an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance.
A fresh look and AI Summary on the horizon
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are said to have a fresh new look. They keep a similar shape to the Buds 3, but add polished metal stems and a matte base for a fancier feel. The charging case also gets a redesign, moving from a boxy to a sleek, oval shape.
OnePlus might also bring its AI Summary feature to the Buds Pro 3 soon. If it happens, future OnePlus Buds could start generating call transcripts using AI.
If the latest rumor holds up, we won’t have to wait long for these details to be confirmed.
