Compact Design

The battery case is shaped like a capsule, on the front side there is an LED indicator to show battery levels and on the back side USB-C charging port, a reset button is placed beside it. The case looks very narrow but it is taller in height because of this it can be easily noticeable if you put it in your pocket.

Buds are Made of plastic materials, they are surprisingly lightweight. Design-wise earphones are slightly curved inside because of this they fit perfectly on the ears and the capsule-like design is carried over from the case. There is a round mirror-like spot on both of the earbuds which will act as a touchpad it can be used to control music playback. The earphones weigh just 4.8g so you may not even notice them when you wear them. You can take them to the gym or running because it has an IP55 rating.

These earphones come with Bluetooth 5.2, once the device is connected there is no issue with the connection. Pairing is also very fast once the pairing is completed you just need to open the case to connect with a paired device, you will get notifications like AirPods if you have one plus phone. The quick charge feature is there, if you’re in a hurry it will give you 5 hours of playback in 10 minutes.

We can also set the equalizers according to our taste. In this app, we can set up touch controls like what will happen when double tap and triple tap on the back of the earphones, a single tap is assigned to Play/Pause.

OnePlus Nord Buds Review: Sound Quality

One Plus Nord buds have an impressive sound signature, 12.4mm drivers will deliver great sound while listening to music or watching a movie. Baseheads will enjoy the punchy base of the Nord Buds, some times this base will overshadow highs and mids if you are ok with it then you can go for these earphones without any hesitation. One plus advertised that it has Dolby Atmos, but it is available only on high-end devices.

For calls Nord Buds will do a decent job, it is equipped with 4 mics and AI noise cancellation, The ambient noise is well controlled during the calls. So you can grab them for a meeting over zoom or for long calls.

Latency

There is no latency issue while watching youtube videos and movies. The recent firmware update has given the gaming mode which will significantly reduce latency while gaming. The main issue for me is that if you are playing BGMI if there is a red zone near your fight the bass of blasting is so high it makes it difficult to hear the enemy footprint. You can grab OnePlus Nordbuds for occasional gaming.

Battery Life

The battery life is on par with the competition I got between 5 to 6 hours backup at 60% volume levels. The case will give you additional 20 hours of charge depending on your usage. There is also a quick charge feature that will give you 5 hours of playback time in 10 minutes of charge.

If you use it for calls then the battery life will reduce to half, you will get around 3.5 to 4 hours off backup. The case can be recharged in 30 minutes with a fast charger.

Conclusion to OnePlus Nord Buds Review

These earphones may not check all the boxes but they definitely get the job done. So if you are on a tight budget and searching for Affordable Truly Wireless Earphones then you should definitely consider Oneplus Nord Buds. Performance and battery backup are well worth the price tag of the Nord Buds, If you are looking for more features like ANC and in-ear detection then you are on a different budget, spend more and get pair of Earphones that has those features.
