OnePlus Buds 3 In-depth Review | Call Quality & Sound Tested | Best Earphones Under 6K?
Рет қаралды 13,493
Күн бұрынOnePlus has done an incredible job with the OnePlus Buds 3, especially on a build front. They've tried something new with the finish on the earphones which I'm not a fan of, but I think a lot of people will like it. These sound BIG so this set is obviously catered toward the masses and its packed with features to keep every tech enthusiast happy.

You've got a new subscriber, man. I like how you explain things in every aspect respectively. Especially when you speak English clearly even it's not your first language. But, I just want to know your insight since you didn't dig to explain the latency (I like how you demonstrated it don't get me wrong). Is the delay really noticeable to worry about? And its sound quality when it is in game mode, does it sound surround or like a dome/compressed? Thanks.
@PaulsPOV 3 ай бұрын
Latency wise, anything quicker than 100ms is usually good. There's nothing like using a cable if response time is important to you. But over gaming, it is more noticeable. There are earphones that have a sub 50ms response, which is noticeably quicker. I am working on a comparison between them and this set. Using the 3D audio mode will help with expanse when it comes to gaming or movies. It works well here, but I wouldn't recommend it for music listening since it does tend to thin out the audio.

Hello! I dont use 3D or spatial audio with most earphones because it usually tends to thin out detail. I prefer stereo sound for music listening, but these modes are fun to use when watching movies and gaming. EQ wise, the best sounding EQ is always the most personalized one. I have a video suggesting how to tune earphones, which you can give a look if you'd like to.

Great Review! I bought the OnePlus Buds 3 couple of days ago. I like the design, the case and also the battery life and touch controls. Although I'm not completely satisfied with the sound, the bass is too overpowering as i listen to mostly classic rock songs. I still have 2 days of time period left before i can return them. Do you recommend that i should return these and get the Oppo Enco Air 3 Pro. My only concern with the Oppos are if they are loud enough because i tried Oppo Enco X2 and they werent loud enough so i returned them back.
@PaulsPOV Ай бұрын
Loudness wise, they're not the loudest set of earphones but when you put their Alive Audio on, they're much louder than their usual self and having them on their bass preset from the hey melody app makes them a lot more fun to listen to. Have a look at my comparison between these earphones. The realme buds air 5 Pro might be better suited for you.

Hey paul, I am not sure if this issue is just with my device. So whenever i connect my op buds 3 to my phone it says connected(no media) in Bluetooth settings. I checked the box for media and calls. Im not able to listen to any music on my buds but i can answer calls. Is there a workaround for it? Also everytime i unpair and pair it, works fine. But the next time it doesn't. Does it mean that i have to unpair it and pair it every time i use it ?
@PaulsPOV Ай бұрын
Try resetting your earphones. If the reset doesn't sort this issue out, it's worthwhile contact OP customer care. It should auto sync and work for media and calls each time you open the lid, especially after you've selected it from your phone on initial set up.

The Buds 3 is a very good performer with ANC. The Z2 did have some hissing issues with its ANC. Both are pretty good bass performers. Call quality wise, I'd recommend listening to my Buds 3 demo and Z2 demo for calls so you get an idea about which one you prefer. I'd say consider going for the Buds 3 since it's newer and doesn't have a glossy case.
