OnePlus Nord Buds 4 set to launch soon, design officially teased

OnePlus Teases Nord Buds 4: A Fresh Look for the Budget-Friendly Lineup

Back in March, OnePlus expanded its audio portfolio in India with the Nord Buds 4 Pro, a pair of earbuds that boasted impressive 54-hour battery life and solid active noise cancellation (ANC). Now, the company is turning its attention to the more affordable side of the spectrum. A official teaser has confirmed that the standard OnePlus Nord Buds 4 are right around the corner.

OnePlus recently shared a first look on social media, giving us a glimpse of the upcoming hardware. The earbuds themselves stick to the tried-and-true in-ear design, complete with silicone tips for a snug fit and the familiar stem-style build. However, it’s the charging case that shows the most significant change.

A New Boxy Aesthetic

If you’re used to the smooth, oval-shaped case of the Nord Buds 3, the new model might surprise you. The Nord Buds 4 feature a more rectangular, structured case design. It’s a subtle shift but one that helps distinguish this generation from the last. While the design is modern, the real draw will be how these buds perform as daily drivers.

Strategic Positioning

As the name suggests, the Nord Buds 4 will sit comfortably below the Pro model in terms of both features and price. To keep things budget-friendly, OnePlus will likely skip some of the premium bells and whistles. We expect standard audio codecs rather than high-res support, and while ANC will probably still be included, it may not be as robust as the system found in the Pro version.

For those looking for a reliable, no-nonsense pair of wireless earbuds that won’t break the bank, the Nord Buds 4 look like a promising addition to the 2024 lineup. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for an official release date and final pricing details in the coming weeks.
