OnePlus has multiple product launches lined up in the coming months. The first launch event of the year is scheduled for January 4 in China, where it will showcase the OnePlus Ace 3 smartphone and OnePlus Buds 3 TWS earbuds. Several leas have taken place surrounding the upcoming earbuds so far. Our team at MySmartPrice also shared an exclusive report on the OnePlus Buds 3 specifications and features.

With the official launch right around the corner, there is now a new leak revealing pricing details and corroborating previously leaked features.

OnePlus Buds 3 Price in Europe Leaked

Max Jambor of Allround-PC has reported the OnePlus Buds 3 will cost EUR 99 (about Rs 9,039) in Europe. This reported pricing is significantly lower than the current-generation OnePlus Buds Pro 2. These earbuds are currently retailing for EUR 179 (about Rs 16,344) on the official OnePlus European website.

The price difference is undoubtedly huge– but we also need to consider the difference in the names. OnePlus is calling the upcoming earbuds Buds 3 and does not mention “Pro” in the name. The company may release the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 later this year with a pricing similar to the Buds Pro 2. Of course, the price will be confirmed once the company announces the earbuds, and till then all question of pricing is merely speculation.

OnePlus Buds 3 Features Leaked

Leaks have also suggested that the OnePlus Buds 3 will be packed with features that make it value for money. The upcoming TWS is said to feature a 10.4mm woofer and 6mm tweeter. It would offer 48db noise cancellation which is beneficial for taking calls in noisy environments and outdoors. These are further tipped to offer 3D surround sound and LHDC 5.0 in the audio department.

The OnePlus Buds 3 will reportedly support dual connectivity and Google Fast Pair. The latter will make it a lot faster and more convenient to pair the earbuds to new Android devices. The buds and case are said to be packed with a 58mAh and 520mAh battery respectively. The battery life is claimed to be up to 44 hours including the case.

In terms of design, the buds will have an in-ear design featuring a shiny stem and silicon ear tips. The OnePlus Buds 3 will be available in Space Gray and Clear Sea Blue colour options.

It is unknown when we can expect to see the OnePlus Buds 3 launch in India. The company has OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R India launch planned for January 23. It would not be surprising if the team decided to make the new earbuds official in the country at the same event.
