OnePlus Buds E513A

78 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews

The OnePlus Buds 4 are widely praised for their excellent sound quality, strong bass, and effective ANC, which many reviewers say punch above their weight for the $100-120 price range. Comfort is a recurring point of contention: while some find them lightweight and comfortable for long wear, others report ear pain after extended use. The build quality of the charging case is frequently criticized as cheap and fragile, and the lack of wireless charging is noted as a downside. Overall, they are seen as a great value for OnePlus users, with some features like LHDC and AI translation limited to OnePlus devices.

Pros
  • Excellent sound quality with strong bass
  • Effective adaptive ANC
  • Good battery life (9-12 hours)
  • Lightweight and comfortable for many
  • IP55 water and sweat resistance
Cons
  • Cheap and fragile case build quality
  • No wireless charging
  • Comfort issues for some users (ear pain)
  • Mediocre transparency mode
  • LHDC and AI translation limited to OnePlus devices
