The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 have long been the savvy, more affordable alternative to Samsung’s high end Galaxy Buds. If you have been on the fence, now is the perfect time to strike. They are currently on sale at Amazon for just $129, a $50 (28%) discount that brings them down to the price of the standard model.

This specific Amazon deal covers the Midnight Opus (Black) colorway of the wireless earbuds, while the Lunar Radiance option remains at its regular price. We have checked other major retailers, and Amazon currently holds the exclusive on this discount—so you will want to act fast if you prefer the darker aesthetic.

Why Buy the OnePlus Buds Pro 3?

Introduced in August 2024, the Buds Pro 3 (review) are OnePlus’ most feature packed wireless earbuds to date. Despite their advanced hardware, they are significantly more affordable than flagship competitors from Sony or Bose. This current sale makes them an even more compelling option for those who want premium performance without breaking the bank.

The Buds Pro 3 feature a dual driver setup that delivers punchy bass alongside exceptionally clear and detailed highs. The soundstage is a considerable step up from previous generations, offering a level of depth and immersion that rivals top tier flagship headphones. For audiophiles, they also support high resolution listening via the LHDC 5.0 codec, while maintaining standard AAC and SBC compatibility.

Noise cancellation is another strong suit. With a rated 55 dB noise blocking level and an enhanced chipset, these earbuds are highly effective at suppressing both low frequency industrial hum and higher frequency office chatter. When you need to stay aware of your surroundings, a natural Transparency Mode seamlessly blends outside audio with your music.

OnePlus has also refined the design, giving the Buds Pro 3 a sleeker stem that supports both intuitive touch and squeeze gestures for effortless playback control. With an IP55 dust and water resistance rating and a battery that lasts 9 hours per charge (up to 39 hours with the case), they are built for all day use. Wireless charging support adds a final touch of flagship convenience.
