Not sure which of OnePlus’ true wireless earbuds to buy? We’ll break down the differences between the OnePlus Buds and OnePlus Buds Pro.
For OnePlus smartphone owners, the OnePlus Buds have always been an appealing choice for true wireless earbuds – that is, until the new OnePlus Buds Pro came out. Now, the choice is a little more complicated… well, OK, maybe it’s not that complicated. You see, while the OnePlus Buds delivered an AirPods-like experience for the OnePlus faithful, they weren’t the be-all, end-all earbuds. They had some real issues with fit and noise isolation, and they lacked an always-on assistant. Because they were so uncomfortable they were hard to recommend and because they didn’t bring much to the table in terms of sound quality, it was easy for us to shove them in the closet and forget about them. The OnePlus Buds Pro don’t fix all the problems of the original OnePlus Buds, but they are significantly better in pretty much every way except in sticker price. For most folks, that makes the OnePlus Buds Pro the better recommendation but we’ll walk you through all the pros and cons just in case there’s any lingering doubt in your mind. Ready to settle the debate between the OnePlus Buds Pro and the OnePlus Buds? Here’s what you gain by stepping up to OnePlus’ latest true wireless earbuds. One of the biggest flaws of the original OnePlus Buds was that they didn’t have active noise cancellation – in fact, they didn’t provide much noise isolation of any kind, which made them awful to wear on public transportation or at the office. The OnePlus Buds Pro rectify both those issues by offering rock-solid active noise cancellation and a better seal for passive noise isolation.
