OnePlus Nord Buds 3 were launched in India on September 17, almost two months after the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro launch. The newly launched true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones come with 12.4mm titanium dynamic drivers, up to 32dB active noise cancellation (ANC) support and are said to offer a total battery life of up to 43 hours. The vanilla option appears to be similar to the Pro variant in terms of design. They share a few specifications, but the cheaper Nord Buds 3 comes without a few of the perks that the Nord Buds 3 Pro offers. Do these differences affect the overall performance of the base version? Is there a discernable difference in the user experience these two earphones provide? We will find out in this review.

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Earphones Summary

The OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro have an in-ear design which offers a comfortable fit. The stems are relatively narrow at the base where the touch controls are placed and wider downwards for easier grip during adjustment. The charging case comes with a dual-tone finish with one part which has marble-like patterns.

These TWS earphones offer up to 49dB of active noise cancellation (ANC) and are equipped with a three-mic system for clearer calls. The smart noise cancellation feature analyses the environmental disturbances and selects the level of noise cancellation - mild, moderate or max.

They offer a bass-heavy sound which is not the most detail-enriched experience. Although users can customise equalisation settings through the companion app, the mids and treble remain flat.

Along with the charging case, these earphones are claimed to offer a total battery life of up to 44 hours on a single charge. Without ANC, only the earbuds are said to provide a playback time of up to 12 hours on a single charge, which drops to about six hours with maximum ANC mode.
