OnePlus has expanded its affordable audio lineup in India with the launch of the OnePlus Nord Buds 3r. Announced on August 26, 2025, these wireless earbuds bring a mix of long battery life, premium audio features, and a budget-friendly price tag.
Design and Durability
The OnePlus Nord Buds 3r come with an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, making them a safe bet for workouts, travel, and daily use. Available in Aura Blue and Ash Black, the design looks sleek yet practical.
Sound and Call Quality
At the heart of the buds are 12.4mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers. Pair that with the Sound Master EQ — which lets you pick from three preset sound modes or tweak settings via a 6-band equalizer — and you get a customizable listening experience.
For calls, OnePlus has added 2 mic AI call cancellation with beamforming technology, which helps cut out background noise so voices come through clearer.
Immersive Audio and Gaming Mode
A standout feature is OnePlus 3D Audio, supported on select OnePlus smartphones, that creates a 360-degree sound environment. Gamers will also appreciate the 47ms low latency mode, which makes sound sync better with visuals.
The biggest highlight though is the battery. The OnePlus Nord Buds 3r claim an impressive 54 hours of total playtime with the charging case — enough to last through long trips or weeks of regular use.
Smart Features
OnePlus has bundled in some handy extras like:
-
AI translation for real-time language support
-
Tap 2 Take for snapping photos with a double-tap
-
Aqua Touch controls for wet or sweaty hands
-
Find My Earbuds to track down lost buds
They also support Bluetooth 5.4, Google Fast Pair, and dual-device connectivity, making switching between phone and laptop seamless.
Price and Availability
The OnePlus Nord Buds 3r are priced at ₹1,799 and will go on open sale from September 8. They’ll be available on OnePlus.in, the OnePlus Store app, OnePlus Experience Stores, Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Croma, Reliance, Vijay Sales, Bajaj Electronics, and other retail partners.
