“… [truncated] … are super lightweight, and very comfortable, even after wearing for 4+ hours. Hands down, they get my highest recommendation. Can be bought for usually less than $100.”

“Pro versions are too costly man can't stretch my budget that much. Oneplus buds pro 3 cost double the oneplus buds 4, I will have to stick with either oneplus buds 4 or air 7 pro.”

galaxybuds “HONEST REVIEW: Upgrading from Buds3 Pro to Buds4 Pro”

So the Buds4 Pro came out almost a month ago, and at the time of announcement, I wasn't really thinking about upgrading. I had acquired the Buds3 Pro in the beginning of 2025 and I honestly didn't have much complaints about it. Throughout my Buds3 Pro ownership, I honestly didn't have many problems with the earbuds. Sure, early on, it was annoying placing the buds in the case due to the way they went in, however I got used to it very quickly. Same goes for the charging problem, I'd always apply a quick slight pressure on the buds to make sure they were connected properly with the pins, so that rarely gave me any problems either. I did also end up losing the charging case at one point so getting a pre owned one through eBay wasn't an issue either. My main problem with the Buds3 Pro actually came from the left earbud. It would just not stay in properly. I tried different silicone bud shape that were provided by Samsung, and also tried forcing the earbuds into my left ear at times so they could stay. Nothing truly ultimately worked, which was quite frustrating considering the right buds fit perfectly. (I've always struggled to find earbuds that just fit me perfectly in both ears).I actually ended up starting to lose them a little less and branched out to over-ear headphones, and while they were very good, carrying them around outside was starting to become a hassle. Hence, a few days, when I saw that I could get a the Buds4 Pro at 50% off, I was immediately tempted. I did some research, read reviews and watched a few videos to understand the differences etc. I then pulled the trigger and got them. Off the rip, they definitely look more refined than its predecessor. Sound quality is also noticeably better as well. I do prefer the old case however the new one doesn't bother me that much. The best thing though is the fit, the slight changes made to the design of the buds have worked wonders for me. The 4s fit in my ear pretty much perfectly, especially on the left ear. Went to the gym and they didn't fall out or anything. I did subconsciously try to push the Buds4 Pro back in my left ear again and again due to the habit that I built with the 3s, however they never needed to pushed back in. So overall, for me personally, the upgrade was well worth it. I do wish the Buds3 Pro fitted me better because they are really good earphones regardless (and so that I could take benefit of the 2 year warranty I got with it). Interested to hear the more reviews come in!

earbuds “Oneplus buds pro 3 are (disappointing)”

Finally after reading and watching a lot of reviews, I decided to get the oneplus buds pro 3. Unfortunately, it's worse and below what I've expected. (note: I'm not a sound expert I'm just talking as a normal user) Here are some of the problems I've faced since day one of usage: (my phone is galaxy S22 ultra) Before I start, I didn't choose a Samsung pair mainly for the dual connection between any two devices which the Samsung lacks. Cons: 1- the sound quality is below average, the sound feels muffled and sometimes flat. I've tried all the EQs in the app and still didn't get satisfied with the sound. 2- the microphone quality is average and not too good to be a flagship mic. 3- the fit is bad, I tried all the tips and still the fit is not secured, I don't know of this is a personal issue but I have tried many earbuds before (including the galaxy buds 2 pro) and they were fitting perfectly. 4- the dual connection takes about 5 seconds to switch from the laptop to the phone. 5- the ANC is really not effective, I heard before that these buds are not the best in case of ANC but I didn't expect to be this bad, maybe the fit is the problem (the fit test inside the app keeps saying it's perfect) Pros: To be honest the design, materials and the case of the earbuds are really luxurious and feel expensive (but they attract fingerprints), the connection for one device is fast and reliable, the controls are good, the battery is good too.

earbuds “OnePlus Buds 4 Review”

I’ve been using the OnePlus Buds 4 for more than half a year. During this time, I’ve had the chance to experience both the positive and negative aspects of the product, which I’ve listed below: **Pros+:** \- Very clear and detailed sound quality \- Works smoothly and reliably with iPhone as well \- Fast automatic connection as soon as I put them in my ears \- Strong volume output, usually no need to turn it up to max \- EQ adjustment options \- Personalized sound profile based on your hearing \- Good noise cancellation, although I don’t use it often \- I especially like the transparency mode, it’s very useful in everyday situations **Cons-:** \- If they are not properly and securely fitted, they can easily fall out of the ear \- The touch controls are quite sensitive, so accidental touches can easily trigger functions **Overall:** I’m very happy that I chose these earbuds. In the under-$100 category, I think they are a very good choice.

earbuds “OnePlus Buds Pro 3 vs OnePlus Buds 4 - which actually sounds better?”

Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide between the **OnePlus Buds Pro 3** and the **OnePlus Buds 4**, and I'm a bit confused. In my region (India), I'm seeing prices around: * **Buds 4:** \~$60 * **Buds Pro 3:** \~$110 My budget is around **$120**, so technically I can get either. Right now I'm leaning slightly towards the **Buds Pro 3**, mainly because: * They look **more comfortable and ergonomic** * The **Buds 4 seem to stick out a bit more** * They seem more **premium overall** But **sound quality and comfort is my main priority**, so I wanted to ask people who have actually used them. Some questions: * Which one has **better sound quality overall**? * Is the **instrument separation/clarity** better on the Pro 3? * How does the **bass compare** between the two? * Is the **fit and comfort** actually better on the Pro 3? * Any big differences in **ANC, mic quality, or battery**? If anyone has used **both**, I’d really appreciate your thoughts before I buy. Also, are there any other earbuds around the $100–$120 range that sound better than these two that I should consider? Thanks!

earbuds “No budget, Best Earbuds for Comfort, ANC, and Calls”

Huawei Freebuds pro 5 , OnePlus buds Pro 3, Technics az100, or Galaxy buds 4 Pro if on Samsung (Buds4 work on any android device but some features are exclusive to Samsung just like AirPods with Apple)
