Why I'm not calling these 'Pro' - OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro

Everything is Pro these days and James has had enough! The Nord Buds 3 Pro look nice, but at such a low price tag, what makes them more pro than other offerings?

It's frustrating when companies brand things as pro & they don't live up to the name.

[WhackyWhoooosh]

I keep forgetting OnePlus exists ever since Nothing happened

That charging cable is perfectly average in size! Maybe... Maybe it's just cold in your studio. 😤

I have the headphones. They are really good. Small, light and have a matt design. The BassWave function wasn't even mentioned. Nor was the equalizer shown. You can use it to adjust the headphones really well. I almost only listen to podcasts and they're really great for that. But also for music. You can hear a lot of detail. The case has a good finish and is small and light. I had previously tested all Galaxy Buds and Google Pixel A Buds as well as soundcore liberty 4 nc and these are the best of all. They are also available under the name Oppo Enco Air4 Pro. They even have LDAC. It's a shame that they were tested so carelessly. Other headphones get much more attention. Thankfully, I tested them myself.

It's so f*ing annoying when manufacturers just don't allow all action for all gestures. Volume Up/Down on single tap makes so much more sense than on press and hold

[zyborx]

Why not have this analytical approach for the CMF Buds Pro 2 you guys reviewed? I mean there were almost no graphs or anything like this. Doesn't make any sense how two products of the same category can be treated so differently.

0:45 actually thats pretty long. i heard people say any longer might hurt. she says that’s the perfect size and as long as you know how to plug it in it’s not about the length of the cable

[adityakumaar]

hold on a second, this thing is acctually cheap in India???? wowwww
Here in India, its 3000rs like 37$ USD. Cuz at this price, the buds are a good choice

[Kjntl]

well in India they are available for 40 USD, that price is better justified

[bukayonosakadebanda]

That scale seems like it needs calibration. Case 38g + buds 9g =50g?

[socialnginrin]

Yeah, I'm confused AF by OnePlus.
OnePlus Buds 2 Pro is $99
OnePlus Buds 3 is $99

Wow...~10 days after this video...they FINALLY release the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, now we need a follow-up vid to know how it compares lol

[telefonbarmann]

Stupid minor thing but.. i would prefere not branded stickers if brands put them in their packaging, so if you are into stickers you might be able to use them for stuff without turning the things you put them on into an advertisement.

0:43 I don't know man....I think thats average, maybe a little above average 😥

[austinfarley]

I’ve been borrowing my roommates 2008 Ford Ranger 3.0L sport. There is nothing sport about it.

[evil]

For better seal, just get a over ear headphone that covers the ears. Plus way longer battery life. And of course bigger and better sound stage.

[ryuurel]

Does James have a YT channel?, can't seem to find any. Would love to see more of this guys personal taste on tech, specially on audio.

[afurryferret]

nah the dust on it in the thumbnail is crazy
edit: not dust lmao

[ssswery]

Holy I wouldn't pay 80usd for these. I think these are mainly targeted to the Asian market I got mine a few weeks ago for like 40usd

[ReV_Prime]

$79.99?? are you kidding? In India, it's around $38 dollars only and that's an amazing deal.

[shivramsreedhar]

i want to see which of these earbuds is nearest to the airpods, since airpods is really good in neutral area and also has become an industry standard for anc's.
