Affordable TWS Earbuds Pack Flagship-LLevel Features
The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 aims to redefine the budget true wireless stereo (TWS) segment by offering premium features at an affordable price of ₹3,299. In a detailed review, the earbuds impressed with their combination of strong active noise cancellation (ANC), long battery life and balanced overall performance, making them one of the most compelling options in the sub-₹3,500 category.
Designed for users seeking premium features without spending heavily, the Nord Buds 4 borrows several technologies from OnePlus’ higher-end models. The earbuds feature 12mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, up to 52dB Active Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth 6.1 connectivity and support for Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair, delivering a seamless user experience across devices.
Strong ANC and Excellent Battery Life
One of the standout features is its 52dB real-time Active Noise Cancellation, which effectively reduces background noise in crowded environments such as public transport, offices and cafes. The review notes that while it may not completely match premium flagship earbuds, the ANC performance is exceptional considering the price point.
Battery life is another major strength. OnePlus claims up to 54 hours of total playback with the charging case when ANC is turned off, while fast charging provides several hours of listening with just a short charging session. This makes the Nord Buds 4 particularly attractive for frequent travellers and everyday users who prefer fewer charging interruptions.
Comfortable Design with Smart Features
The earbuds feature a lightweight, ergonomic design with an IP55 rating, offering protection against dust and water splashes. Touch controls are responsive, and the companion HeyMelody app allows users to customise controls, adjust equaliser settings and manage ANC modes with ease. The earbuds also include a dedicated gaming mode with 47ms ultra-low latency, enhancing the gaming experience on compatible devices.
Audio performance is tuned towards bass lovers while maintaining clear vocals and decent instrument separation. Call quality remains reliable thanks to a six-microphone setup with AI-powered noise reduction.
Excellent Value for Money
The review concludes that the OnePlus Nord Buds 4 delivers remarkable value by combining premium features, effective noise cancellation and outstanding battery life at a highly competitive price. While audiophiles seeking high-resolution codecs may prefer more expensive alternatives, the Nord Buds 4 stands out as one of the strongest budget TWS offerings currently available in the Indian market.
