OnePlus Buds 4: New Wireless Earbuds Promise Impressive Features
OnePlus is back again with a new model of wireless earbud OnePlus Buds 4 that promises to be impressive. For all people who have been following their audio gear, they will easily learn that their emphasis on noise-cancelling qualities really gets boosted this time around. And punching above its weight class in sound quality is something they promise, while at the same time not leaving holes in your pockets.
Silence the World, Hear Your Music
What's the big deal in addition to the noise cancellation? OnePlus says that the Buds 4 will reduce ambient background noise by a maximum of 55 dB with ANC. That's quite a substantial number, which means one could really immerse into the music or listening to podcasts in very busy places. A smart AI algorithm is also added to ensure your amazement during calls while surrounding noises are maintained.
Sound That Impresses
Not all quietness, however. OnePlus has sound. Inside these buds are dual drivers working together with two digital-to-analog converters (DACs). This is the sound: detailed and rich.
They're also coming up with something called a "golden sound profile." Probably something they'll say is the "really cool term for changing up your audio settings to suit your listening style," but they are really probably just trying to make it sound really cool. It's all about truly personalizing the sound to you. Another cool thing is an AI-powered speech translation when your buds are paired with your smartphone. Did that just happen in the last century-such an effective tool in developing cross-national friendships?
What's the Price Tag?
For now, OnePlus Buds 4 debut in the Chinese market at a price of nearly $62. Pretty competitive considering the feature it's packing. When will these devices make it to the broader global audience? OnePlus is still holding the card close to the chest. We'll have to keep our ears open.
