And just 10 minutes of juicing up gives you 7 hours of listening time, OnePlus claims.

The earbuds are equipped with a 58mAh battery, and the charging case packs a 520mAh battery. With active noise cancellation (ANC) turned on, you’ll get a solid 6.5 hours of playback on a single charge. And if you throw in the charging case, it extends the playback time to 28 hours.
OnePlus’ latest contender for the best wireless earbuds sports a lightweight in-ear stem design, with each bud weighing 4.8 grams. Pumping out those crystal-clear highs and thumping bass is a 10.4mm composite diaphragm bass unit.
A three-microphone AI system claims to reduce background noise by 99.6%, offering 49 decibels of active noise cancellation. The intelligent ANC mode is responsible for tweaking the noise-canceling levels based on your surroundings.
The OnePlus Buds 3 also packs LHDC 5.0 Hi-Res support, delivering top-notch audio transmission with a 96kHz sampling rate and a wireless speed of 1Mbps.
These buds are IP55-rated, meaning they can handle dust and water. Plus, they’re rocking Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless connectivity. Like the Chinese versions, you can snag them in Splendid Blue or Metallic Gray in global markets where they’re set for release.
