OnePlus Nord Buds 4 unveiled with up to 54 hours of battery life, ANC

OnePlus Nord Buds 4: Punchy Audio and ANC on a Budget

OnePlus has officially expanded its audio lineup in India with the launch of the Nord Buds 4. Positioned as the more budget-friendly sibling to the Nord Buds 4 Pro that arrived back in March, these earbuds prove you don’t have to break the bank to get premium features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and seriously impressive battery life.

At first glance, the Nord Buds 4 sport a comfortable in-ear design complete with silicone tips for a snug fit. Under the hood, they pack 12mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, which should deliver a solid, balanced sound profile for your daily listening.

Key Features and Performance

Don’t let the “standard” label fool you—these buds are stacked. Here is what you get out of the box:

• Advanced Noise Control: Enjoy up to 52dB of active noise cancellation, plus a handy transparency mode for when you need to stay aware of your surroundings.
• Crystal Clear Calls: With a total of six microphones, OnePlus has focused on keeping your voice clear during calls, even in noisier environments.
• Durability: With an IP55 rating, they are more than capable of handling a sweaty gym session or a surprise drizzle. Each bud is super lightweight, coming in at just 4.3g.
• Seamless Connectivity: They utilize Bluetooth 6.1, supporting both dual-device pairing and Google Fast Pair for a hassle-free experience.

Battery life is arguably the standout here. If you keep ANC off, you are looking at up to 13 hours on a single charge, stretching to a massive 54 hours with the charging case. Even with ANC powered on, you get a respectable 6.5 hours of playback, or 27 hours with the case. Plus, they come with a few clever AI-powered tricks, including an AI Assistant and translation features, assuming you have them paired with a compatible smartphone.

Pricing and Availability

The Nord Buds 4 are launching in two sleek finishes: Astral Teal and Stellar Black. They are priced at INR 3,299, though there is a launch-day discount bringing them down to INR 3,099. Sales officially kick off on June 29 across Amazon India, Flipkart, the official OnePlus store, and various retail outlets.
