Our Verdict

OnePlus Buds Pro Truly Wireless

OnePlus Buds 3

The OnePlus Buds 3 Truly Wireless are a later generation of the OnePlus Buds Pro Truly Wireless and offer a better overall performance. While both models are similarly comfortable and well-built, the third-gen have a significantly better noise isolation performance and a longer-lasting continuous battery life, and their mic has an improved recording quality. However, it's still mediocre at best. That said, the original headphones have a flatter sound profile, which some users may prefer.
