OnePlus may be known for its range of premium, but affordable smartphones but their line of earphones is small, but they have gained popularity. Among their most affordable models, is the new OnePlus Nord Ear Buds. The Nord branding is also used for their phones, denoting superior value for money than other traditional phones. The Nord Ear Buds are priced at about Rs. 2,799*, which is a lot less than most in-ear headphones. OnePlus is claiming a lot of features and performance from these pairs of earbuds, so let us look at what you get and what you may not.
The new OnePlus Nord Ear Buds use 12.4 mm titanium drivers. They are responsible for the loudness and the detail. OnePlus claims the earphones are graded and tuned for Dolby Atmos. The earphones come with software that lets you adjust the nature of the sound. OnePlus calls the feature, Sound Master Equalizer. The balanced profile is ideal for purists who do not need any tweaks from the ordinary. The other profiles, like Bold, Base, Serenade allow for a punchier sound that you might best appreciate in games and action movies and TV shows. The Bold profile for example, tightens up the bass, and emphasises the treble a bit. Serenade is for those who like listening to music with vocals or watching drama TV shows and movies. If you don’t think the profiles are not up to your liking, you can customize them. On paper, the OnePlus Nord Ear Buds are rated for a frequency range between 20 and 20,000 Hz.
We do not use our ear buds only for listening to music, but also for making calls. It is essential now, at a time where remote working and remote classrooms are the norm. OnePlus has positioned a pair of microphones on each ear bud. This makes for clearer audio recording, but more importantly with the help of AI, you also get a noise-free calling experience. This means, reduced noise from the wind billowing in the background or the traffic and crowds.
The One Nord Ear Buds are not just about their sound, they are also compact, and don’t look obnoxious with large stems sticking out of ears. The case is just as compact, and the ear buds come in two interesting colours, Black Slate and White Marble. OnePlus has also used the same finish on these as the more premium OnePlus Buds Pro, so they look great and are sturdy too. They are rated for IP55, so they are water and sweat resistant, so you know they will last the test of time.
Fast charging is one of the key benefits of these earphones. Once fully charged, the OnePlus Nord Ear Buds can go seven hours on a full charge, and with the amount of charge stored on the case, you can listen to up to 30 hours. That should be enough to last you a week with casual listening. When the charge does drop, fear not. Place the earbuds in the case, and 10 minutes of charge can get you going for another 5 hours.
There are also some smart features that make the ear buds an excellent choice. Take OnePlus Fast Pair for example, that lets you go from resting, charging the earbuds in the case to paired and playing music in no time. Let’s not forget that the OnePlus Nord Ear Buds are powered by Bluetooth 5.2, so you can expect very low latency which is a godsent for gamers who need the fastest response from everything that they see and hear in a game. OnePlus claims a latency of just 94 ms when playing on the Pro Gamer Mode. Stuttering is rarely experienced, and you can expect great battery life on your phone and the earbuds, but with good range.
