OnePlus has confirmed that the much-anticipated OnePlus Buds Pro 3 will be officially launched on August 20, 2024. The event will take place at 6:30 PM IST in India, with simultaneous global launches at 9:00 AM (EST), 2:00 PM (BST), and 3:00 PM (CEST). These true wireless (TWS) earbuds will succeed last year’s OnePlus Buds Pro 2, promising significant enhancements in both design and performance.
Upgraded Features and Design
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is expected to feature a sleek oval-shaped case, marking a departure from the boxy design of its predecessors. The earbuds are anticipated to come with an IP55 rating, ensuring dust and water resistance, and will include Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. Retaining the dual-driver setup from the previous model, the Buds Pro 3 will likely feature an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter, delivering a meticulously balanced audio experience.
Extended Battery Life and Advanced Audio Capabilities
One of the standout features of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is its impressive battery life, with the earbuds expected to last up to 43 hours on a single charge, a four-hour increase from the Buds Pro 2. Additionally, the new earbuds are rumored to support an LHDC 5.0 audio codec with 24-bit/192kHz audio, offering a superior listening experience. They will also likely include a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and offer up to 50dB adaptive noise cancellation.
Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are expected to be priced around Rs. 12,000 in India, slightly above the Rs. 11,999 price tag of the Buds Pro 2. OnePlus has already launched a dedicated landing page for the Buds Pro 3, where interested customers can sign up for notifications. With the company touting these as its “finest audio offering yet,” the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is poised to set a new standard in the premium TWS earbuds market.
