The OnePlus Buds 4 are here, and they are making a strong case for being one of the best mid-range wireless earbuds on the market. These earbuds are great because they offer a lot of high-end audio, powerful noise cancellation, and smart, easy-to-use features at a price that won’t break the bank.

Comfort and Style

The Buds 4 have a new look from OnePlus that is different from the look of the Buds 3. The earbuds have a new, thicker stem design that makes them easier to hold and lets you use swipe gestures to control the volume. This is a small change that has a big effect on how people use the product. The charging case is also different; it has a smooth, matte metallic finish. Some reviewers have said that it can be a little slippery, but overall it feels high-end. The earbuds are also light, weighing only 4.7 grams each. They are also rated IP55 for dust and water resistance, so they are great for everyday use and workouts. You can choose between two colors: the soft Storm Grey and the bright Zen Green.

Great Sound

The OnePlus Buds 4 are great for people who love music but don’t have a lot of money. Their coaxial dual-driver setup has an 11mm ceramic-metal diaphragm woofer and a 6mm flat diaphragm tweeter. The sound is both detailed and dynamic thanks to this complex setup and the two DACs, which were first seen on the flagship Buds Pro series. The frequency response goes from 15Hz to 40kHz, which means it can reproduce a wide range of sounds, from deep bass to clear highs. The LHDC 5.0 codec lets the earbuds send high-quality wireless audio, which is another thing they can do.

  • OnePlus has added a number of audio-tuning options to let you personalize your listening experience, such as:
  • OnePlus 3D Audio is a spatial audio mode that makes it sound like you’re in a surround sound room.
  • Sound Master EQ has pre-tuned presets and a six-band equalizer that you can change to get the sound just right.
  • Golden Sound: A custom audio profile made after scanning your ear canal and listening to a test in the app.

Features and noise cancellation that work well

The Buds 4’s adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) is one of their best features. OnePlus says that the earbuds can cut down on noise by up to 55dB across a wide frequency range of 5500Hz, which is the best in their class. Reviews have shown that the ANC works very well to block out low-frequency noises from things like airplane engines and street traffic, making for a peaceful listening experience. There is also a Transparency Mode on the earbuds that lets you know what’s going on around you.

The Buds 4 have a lot of other smart features besides noise cancellation:

AI Translation: You can get real-time translation on your OnePlus phone by simply tapping the earbuds.
Low Latency Gaming Mode: This is a special mode that lowers latency to as low as 47ms, making the audio experience for gaming more in sync.

Dual-Device Connection: Lets you switch between two connected devices without any problems.
Swipe Controls: The stem of the earbuds has easy-to-use swipe gestures that let you change the volume.

How long the battery lasts and how to charge it

The battery life on the OnePlus Buds 4 is very good. The earbuds themselves can play music for up to 11 hours without ANC, but the charging case can add another 45 hours of listening time. If you’re in a hurry, a quick 10-minute charge can give you up to 11 hours of playback time.

Cost and Availability

The OnePlus Buds 4 came out in India on July 8, 2025, along with the Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 phones. They cost about ₹5,999, which makes them a great deal given all the features they come with. You can buy them on OnePlus’s official e-store, Amazon, and other online and brick-and-mortar stores.

The End

The OnePlus Buds 4 are a big step up that adds high-end features at a lower price. They have great sound quality, strong ANC, and a lot of smart features, making them a great choice for anyone who wants a high-end audio experience without the high price. There are a few small problems, like some OnePlus devices having audio lag, but these are not very important compared to how well the earbuds work overall. The Buds 4 set a new standard for what people can expect from mid-range wireless audio.
