OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro

Hi,

I have a pair of barely used OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro that I got with my OnePlus Nord 5 phone. I am not a fan of earbuds. I much prefer and use over-ear headphones like my Sennheiser Momentum 4.

Description:

The OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro are feature-packed true-wireless earbuds focused on strong bass, ANC, long battery life, and dual-device connectivity. Here’s a complete feature summary based on OnePlus’ official specifications.

🎧 Audio
12.4 mm dynamic drivers with a titanium-coated diaphragm.
BassWave™ 2.0 for enhanced, deeper bass while retaining vocal clarity.
20 Hz–40 kHz frequency response.
Supports AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs.
Transparency Mode lets outside sound through when needed.
OnePlus provides audio/customisation settings through its earphones software/HeyMelody app.
🔇 Noise cancellation
Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) rated up to 49 dB.
ANC works across a frequency range of up to 4,000 Hz.
Uses both feedforward and feedback noise cancellation.
Includes Transparency Mode.
ANC performance is based on OnePlus' laboratory testing, so real-world results can vary depending on fit and surroundings.
📞 Calls & microphones

Each earbud has 3 microphones:

2 analogue
1 digital

They use OnePlus' Clear Call algorithm and an anti-wind noise algorithm to improve voice pickup and reduce environmental/wind noise during calls.
