OnePlus Buds Pro Wireless Earbuds| with Charging Case |IP55 | Smart Adaptive Noise Cancellation Sound | Matte Black,E503A

This is actually the 3rd pair of earbuds I've bought (and have tried others), and the first that I'll be keeping. (Call me an a-hole, but I don't mind buying electronics to try out before returning to Target or Best Buy if it's just not right.)I started with Sony's highest end set. I really wanted to love them, but the form factor is too big, and as awesome as the noise cancellation and sound were, they were too bulky and just didn't sit comfortably in my ears.So I tried their $100 set. It sounded ok and felt better in my ears, but I didn't like the fit or look. On top of that, even though it had noise cancelling, it didn't have a transparency mode to allow you to hear the world with, say, one side in.Then I found these. I'd had a OnePlus 7 Pro phone before and loved it, but had no idea they were making peripheral devices. The reviews were intriguing and the price was perfect.I'm so happy with this purchase. The noise cancelling is really solid (you can pay more for better, but these definitely still give a fantastic isolated sound even in noisy conditions). And the transpancy mode is excellent at passing through sound when you need it. Say you keep one in for phone calls. (Edit to add, i was testing transparency earlier while driving, and was surprised to hear it block out traffic noises while passing through a pretty clean audio of the radio. I watched a Harley coming off the line and was kind of astounded to hear the sound nearly disappear when he got like 15ft in front of me.)The sound is really solid for earbuds and I find myself reaching for them often when I might have previously grabbed the over ear Bose's. The bass is punchy enough and it makes for a really enjoyable listening experience and across a lot of different genres.For earbuds these are perfect in my mind. Especially at $150. (Or keep a close eye on em and catch them for $120. It seems to drop periodically but only for a short while.)They feel great and the case and buds are very solidly and sleekly built. Like I said, couldn't be happier. (Enough so that I'm going to look into some custom fitted rubber pieces to hold them a bit better. They stick for the most part, but do require adjusting if you're doing anything fairly active.)I should add that the app they use (Hey Melody, which must be a partner they use for non OnePlus native device support), works great. It's incredibly quick to pick up the connection when I open the case and some of the fine tuning you can do is fantastic. The click feature on them works great, just takes a bit to get used to.Very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a higher end ear bud. May not be the best at anything (well, other than design....these definitely fit and look the best from what I've seen/used), but does everything really dang well.Wasn't sure how I felt about OnePlus expanding outside of phones, but if they can continue to put up products with a value like these, I'm all for it. Seen enough from the Apples and Samsung's by now....

So, I won't rattle off all of the expensive ($500+) headphones I own and all the TWS I have beginning with the very first Bragi Dash. But I recently acquired the newest Audio-Technica ones, Elite 85t, Airpods Pro 2, and these with the B&O EX on the way today.These have a clean, crisp sound. With a slight EQ, the bass is very good and does not distort the rest of the frequencies. The bass does not have a lot of texture like the A8000's, but these are also 1/20th of the prize, so...I would say extremely good for the price. There's not customizeable controls like the amazing Audio-Technica's have; those have THE best controls followed by the Elite 85t, which has a one-press call mute that, in my opinion, was the smartest thing I've seen in TWS in a while.Call quality is fantastic. I had my desk fan blowing directly on them on high and intentionally did a lot of shuffling and dropping pens on my desk, etc, and NOTHING could be heard when I played the recording back. A++I was VERY upset when they came and I could not connect my computer and phone at the same time. However, finally the latest firware had a successful download and, guess what? NOW IT IS TRULY MULTI-POINT!!!!These are the best VALUE in TWS out there, in my opinion. They go head-to-head with the others and might even win in some people's minds. They are VERY comfortable, the case is tiny and compact, they look cool, and sound great with zero worries about receiving that call from your boss; when you're supposed to be working but are actually in a bar or grocery store.Can't go wrong with these, people. I unfortunately pay for all this stuff with my own money, so this is 100% honesty.

Ive tried out all different types of earbuds since ive been working from home. Im actually a really big fan of these, and from my short trial they are some of the best ones (especially if you catch them on sale). I would rank them up there with more expensive brands and what people considered higher end and buzz about. These are might be the best earbuds without a big brand name. Some people have said these are similar toThere are two missing features I wanted, which is why i returned them, but most people wont care about those. If they had volume controls on the earbuds or allowed more customization of the controls, they would have been 5 stars.Ok, onto my pros and cons, and an honest review, if you care!1. They do connect to 2 devices at the same time, which is a really cool feature. There is a setting in the HeyMelody app that you need to download, then you can enable multiple devices.2. The sound quality is really good. I tested them on my android phone, on my iPad, and on Zooms for work. Im no audiophile so I cant really give you a breakdown of anything advanced but everything was clear and sounded great.3. From the feedback I heard from others, I sounded very good. I used it for work zooms and there were no complains or issues. I used them on my phone and a friend said I sounded really good. Ive tested lots of different bluetooth headset, car bluetooth sets, and etc on her and she said these sounded the best shes heard out of all of them.3a. This might be an issue for some, but there is no real EQ settings. It does a test to see what sounds you hear and dont hear, and then sets your custom audio profile. I thought that was cool, but I know some will want their own EQ options.4. The noise cancelling actually works well. I returned these Oneplus and got the Jabra 85t, and also have tried the LG Tone FP9, but I would argue the OnePlus canceled more noise and did it better. There is a bit of extra noise/static you will hear while its working, but considering the amount of noise it blocks out, thats a fair trade off. I had a speaker sitting in front of me playing sounds and it blocked it out so that it just sounded like muffled sound. I could definitely tell a major difference in it being turned on and off.5. There is also an interesting feature that plays white noise or calming sounds, if you just need background noise to keep you focused. You can pick which sounds and it saves into the memory of the buds and plays when tried by a control.6. Speaking of controls, there isnt much customization of the main controls. If I remember correctly, you only can customize one control, which is the triple click.6a. One thing that made me really hate the lack of changing controls is that one click will ALWAYS play something. Even if you click it and nothing it open or playing, it will trigger something to play. When it was connected to my work Macbook, it would open the music player (which i never use) and random songs would play.7. This isnt major for most people, but there is no volume controls on the buds. I was hoping I could customize the controls to control the volume (which the LG Tone will do) but nope. Yes, you can control it with the device its connected to and its not a big deal.8. I didnt love the fit in my ears, but thats a pretty consistent issue for me. They did stay in just fine and do have various tips. Some other earbuds with similar designs didnt stay in my ears very well. Over time, maybe I would have gotten use to the fit.9. I didnt try to push the battery life, test the water resistance, and all that.I personally say with the design, sound, and features of these, I would chose them over earbuds at a much higher price point, but its all in what you are looking for! These have features that more expensive ones dont, which made me purchase them and try them out after tons of research. But of course, there may be things you dont like or missing features, which is why they arent at a much higher price point!
