OnePlus Buds 4 Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds, Zen Green, E513A, in-Ear, True Wireless with Active Noise Cancellation

OnePlus was once the brand that labeled its phones as "Flagship Killers". To compete with said flagships in nearly every metric, all while undercutting the cost by margins that seemed impossible. They may have ultimately wound up joining that higher end of the market altogether, I feel as though they've managed to at least keep the spirit of the concept alive in other aspects. And that is exactly what the OnePlus Buds 4 have managed to achieve in the modern wireless audio landscape. They're not the cheapest pair in the world sure, but for the $100-120 price bracket they punch above their weight as hard as their bass can. No, seriously. When tuned towards a more "warm" profile, they will crank out some serious thump. But it's not even overbearing if you tweak the mids down slightly while boosting the highs a bit. At least that's my preference, though they still have an excellent sound profile across the board either way with the default profiles. LHDC support is also a huge bonus, especially if you are someone like me that enjoys using Tidal to listen to high fidelity tracks. It really brings the most out of these earbuds, however it's essentially an exclusive function to OnePlus devices only (they still sound stellar using AAC codec as well). I also enjoy the continued support/optimization efforts to provide iOS devices with nearly all of the same features that they have on android. It not only makes them superior to Samsung offerings, as they have long since stopped supporting models beyond their Galaxy Buds+ on iOS. Anyway, the OnePlus Buds 4 are a solid pick for the only main compromises being case build quality (crap plastic, but hinge is somewhat sturdy) and the lack of wireless charging (albeit they do charge absurdly fast, as any OnePlus device would). Battery life is a respectable 10-12 hrs, give or take depending on use. I rarely use ANC (they have a good enough seal for me in most cases), though I will use transparency here and there throughout any given time. Differences in volume level should also be considered, since the advertised rating by OnePlus is based on a consistent 50% level. They fit really well, and are comfortable enough for me to actually wear for the duration that they'll last a single charge on. Which is a big deal for me, as I always like to get at least a minimum of 8 hours or so out of a pair of wireless earbuds in-between charges. The case will recharge them about 2-3 times, depending on how much they were used any given time. As for the ANC and transparency, they're a far cry from the days of the Buds Z 2 (which weren't the worst, to say the least). ANC can really create a sort of "seal of silence" when not in a super noisy environment. Since they still aren't quite able to prevent some of louder noises, even with a good seal. But overall it's good enough to be satisfied with at this price point. The transparency is at a similar level; it's substantially better than prior generations. It's not quite "AirPod Pro 2" level, but it's much better than a lot of what the competition has to offer (such as JBL or Soundcore). All in all they're a great pair of earbuds that have seamless integration on android thanks to using Fast Pair, and even have multi-point connection to boot. Aside from the lack of wireless charging, they still genuinely felt like an upgrade over my previous pair of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 -- even with the latter being a "Pro" variant while these are positioned as the current non-Pro model.

I’ve been using the OnePlus Buds 4 in Storm Gray for a few weeks now, and they’ve really impressed me. The Bluetooth 5.4 connection is solid with no dropouts, and the adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) works surprisingly well for blocking out background noise — it’s close to what you’d expect from pricier earbuds. The sound quality is great, with a nice balance of deep bass and clear highs. Unfortunately, cannot use the LHDC codec with my Samsung phone. They feel super light and comfortable even during long wear, thanks to the ergonomic design and different ear tip sizes. Battery life is solid too: I get about 9 hours with ANC on, and the charging case extends it to roughly 45 hours total, which is fantastic. Plus, the IP55 rating means I don’t have to worry about sweat or a bit of rain during my runs. The touch controls are responsive and easy to customize, although some features like AI translation only work with OnePlus devices. Overall, the OnePlus Buds 4 offer top-tier features and sound quality at a mid-range price point. Perfect for everyday use, workouts, and travel. Just wish Samsung would use LHDC codec so I can get the most out of these buds.

Had the apple ear buds but they kept falling out of my ears, these with the right rubber tips hold secure even working around the yard , excellent battery life, sound is good too, very rich, the app is well thought out and has several helpful features, you can tune them using an equalizer to your preference. Just tried them on an airplane and the noise cancellation setting for the engine noise works really well, I usually would bring the big bulky Bose headsets with me which do work a bit better because they cover your entire ear. but take up a ton of room in your carry on, I will be leaving them at home from now on and use these instead, for the price these are well worth the money

TLDR: I wish they had wireless charging, but the sound quality and ANC are essentially flagship grade. For the price I'm shocked at how good they are. I got them for $80 on Prime Day. Super comfortable. You totally forget they're in your ears. Exactly what you want. Battery life is fine. The egg shaped case is a little weird, but it's compact and light. Again, wireless charging is the main thing I would add. They sound 95% as good as the Galaxy Buds pro 4. Call quality is average. ANC is a lot better than I expected. In a quiet room there's no noticeable white noise (the reason I'm no longer using the galaxy buds pro 4), but there is some noticeable white noise when in loud environments such as right next to an AC unit. It's reasonable though, and the software is consistently adjusting to tone it down. Not as good as over-ear modern Sony's, but good. Much better than 2019 airpod pros. Has true multipoint support, unlike the galaxy buds. I only chose the green because it was $20 cheaper, but I actually like it quite a bit in-person. I'm going to be strongly considering oneplus audio products in the future. These are excellent.

I love these. Great battery life; noise cancelation is pretty good. Sound is excellent and extremely customizable.

Fourth time's a charm, Now I'm not much into your buds have had nothing but issues have an old pair from years ago which I suppose met my needs over the past several months I've attempted to purchase a good product that works well with my phone and I finally broke down and bought the one plus product because my phone is a OnePlus 13 and these earbuds pair perfectly both in connectivity and in excessibility they work very well together I give this product for my needs five stars

I had a non-brand Chinese set of earbuds (the actual brand's name is some random string of consonants with a lot of x's and z's) for about 6 years that worked great with my previous phone and my current One Plus 7. What I liked is that I could leave the phone on silent mode and when I connected to bluetooth, I would still get a notification for an incoming call. Initially it would play the actual ringtone and after a couple of years all of a sudden one day it just started making a beeping sound instead, but at least it would tell me that a call was coming in. After about 6 years they started to loose battery power so I looked at new earbuds and decided to go for the same brand as the actual phone that I had. After a few days, I have very mixed feelings about this pair. I love the noise cancelling function and the sound quality of the music I've listened to has been good. However, there are two very serious drawbacks. First, no matter what I have tried, when the phone is on silent, there is no notification in the earbuds for an incoming call. It's fine if I'm listening to music when a call comes in, it just all of a sudden goes quiet which makes me look at the phone to see what's going on and I can see that there's a call. However, if I just have them in and I'm waiting for a call, there's no notification when the call comes in, I have to actually keep looking at the phone to see when the call comes in, which kind of defeats the purpose of the earbuds. I tried to see if I could adjust the settings and was able to get the actual ringtone to play when a call came in, but then when I turned off the bluetooth and put the earbuds in the case, even though the phone was still on silent, all of a sudden the ringtone started going off full blast when a call came in, which completely defeats the purpose of being on silent and could potentially be quite embarrassing, if not get me kicked out of somewhere. The only option I have found to get a notification through the earbuds when a call comes in but not have the ringtone play when bluetooth is not on is to slide the slider to regular volume after I turn the bluetooth on and connect the earbuds and then be sure that I remember to slide it back to silent mode when I turn the bluetooth off and disconnect the earbuds. It's not the worst solution but does rely on my remembering to slide the volume slider each time. Second, while the sound quality of music is quite good, the sound quality of calls is awful. It's very bass heavy and muddy and I have to put in about 110% mental energy to listen to the call to actually understand what the caller is saying. I've also noticed callers saying "what?" every time I say something much more frequently than with my previous set of earbuds, indicating that the microphone quality is not very clear either. This makes the earbuds only about 50% functional compared to my previous no-brand earbuds that were $25.99, about 1/4 of the price of these earbuds. I've looked and looked and looked online to see if there are any fixes to these issues and have only found multiple forums of complaints about these same issues with no fixes. Given how much they cost, I'll likely continue to use them, but whenever they die I won't buy another set from this brand and go back to a non-brand pair for a fraction of the price.

*update* After about 3 weeks of using these earbuds everyday, I love them even more than I did when I first received them. For what I wanted out of a set of earbuds, these are close to perfect. My only real complaint would be they have a tendency to come out of my ears, but I can't say it's a problem with these earbuds specifically because every pair I've ever owned have done the same thing so obviously I'm the problem. Other than that these get a resounding A+ 5 stars from me. I've only had them for about 24 hours so far but I'm highly impressed with them. Quality of the earbuds and case is good. The case is a good size and easily fits in your pocket. Sound quality is great to my ears, but that's one of the things I care least about oddly enough. The touch controls work great and are customizable through the app. Haven't had any issue with connectivity at all. The paired easily the first time I tried and have paired without an issue every time since then. Battery life seems good but I haven't had a chance to get an accurate idea of how long they will last yet. And last but not least, the ANC. This was one of the deciding factors for me on which earbuds would be my next purchase. I've tried quite a bit, from the really cheap to the $150+ price range. The ANC on these is fantastic. Transparency mode works but it could be better. I never use that feature anyway so that doesnt bother me. For my needs these earbuds are excellent so far. If anything changes I'll update my comment but for now I recommend 100%.

Pros: Nice touch controls Comfortable to wear and steady Water resistant Great battery for both the earbuds and the case HD sound Excellent ANC Stable connection Transparency mode is good and works automatically when you take one of the earbuds from your ear so that's a nice touch Cons: Default tuning is terrible and has too much bass and low sound clarity, but you can tune it from the app and make profiles for different listening experiences, don't forget to switch on LHDC from phone settings for high resolution audio and use the tip that fits your ear for good sealing The case is a little breakable so use a protector The translator option only works on oneplus phones

It is fantastic buds from oneplus in every category like anc 90%, transparency 95%, mic quality 90% and music quality 90% 👌 am happy after buying these 🙏

Non sono un esperto da poter fare una super comparazione ma ANC buono, app intuitiva, collegamenti e gestione semplici e veloci. Poco intuitivo il led di ricarica, soprattutto dato che non si trova la legenda da nessuna parte

Muy buenos los audífonos

Very good earbuds. The sound quality is clear, they connect quickly, and they are comfortable to wear. The active noise cancellation works well and helps a lot when I am outside or in noisy areas. The Storm Gray color looks nice, and the battery life is very good. Excellent product for daily use.
