OnePlus confirms that its new ‘flagship’ wireless earbuds are arriving on January 4
If you've been eyeing some of the best wireless earbuds over the holidays, maybe wait until January 4 to make a purchase: that's the date OnePlus has said it will launch its next pair, and “flagship” ones – levels of sound quality are promised.
This comes from an official OnePlus post on the Chinese social network Weibo (through 9to5Google), and while we're relying on Google Translate to understand what's being said, it looks very much like we're talking about the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 here.
Our OnePlus Buds Pro 2 review is mostly positive about the wireless earbuds that OnePlus launched in February this year, but there's certainly room for improvement â ââso we're really looking forward to what OnePlus has put together this time.
We don't get too much information about these earbuds, but we can see that they will be available in black or blue. It doesn't look like the design will change much, although the finish seems a little shinier this time.
More OnePlus devices are coming
That January 4 date is also the day we expect the OnePlus 12R (aka the OnePlus Ace 3) to be unveiled in China – although the phone won't be available internationally until January 23, and it could be the same for the earplugs.
It looks like these wireless earbuds are different from the ones we saw leaked images of earlier this month: These images are believed to be of the OnePlus Nord Buds 3, which will launch with a more affordable price.
That said, considering the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 originally went on sale for $179 / ÂŁ179 / AU$299, we're talking about wireless earbuds that are already pretty cheap – and we expect the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 will come in at a lower price. comparable price level.
A video posted by tipster Evan Blas (through Android Central) shows what comes in the box of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and there's also a short video included where you can see a demo of the touch controls on the earbuds and how they work.
