OnePlus Introduces Wireless Earbuds with Extended Battery Life in Nepal

OnePlus has expanded its product portfolio in Nepal with the launch of its first wireless earbuds, simply named OnePlus Buds. These earbuds, which were unveiled during the company's July AR event alongside the OnePlus Nord smartphone, are now available locally. The design echoes popular models like Apple's AirPods, with a notable flat touch-capacitive back instead of a rounded one.

The OnePlus Buds include sensors that automatically pause music when removed from the ear and resume when reinserted. They come in a compact charging case similar to Google Pixel Buds, featuring an external status light to monitor battery levels. While the earbuds lack active noise cancellation, they offer environmental noise reduction during calls to minimize background interference for the person on the other end.

Currently, the OnePlus Buds are compatible exclusively with OnePlus phones for Google Assistant services and support only SBC and AAC codecs, unlike higher-end models that include aptX HD or LDAC. Despite this, the sound quality remains solid, though it does not match premium options such as the Sony WF-1000XM3.

A standout feature is the impressive battery life, enabled by Wrap Charging technology, which provides 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge. The earbuds deliver a total of up to 30 hours of use, with 7 hours in the buds themselves and 23 hours from the case. Additional highlights include a 'Find My Bud' functionality and an IPX4 rating, making the earbuds suitable for gym activities.

In Nepal, the OnePlus Buds are retailing for NPR 12,500 and are available in Gray and White variants through Oliz Store.
