On OnePlus’ Weibo channel, the company has started teasing the upcoming OnePlus Buds Pro 3, which are successors to the Buds Pro 2 we reviewed earlier this year. In the material, the earbuds are fully presented in their true form with an updated exterior coming from the existing flagship OnePlus earbuds. However, the form is still familiar with a long stem on each bud while wrapped in a glossy finish.

Additionally, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 seem to mimic the colorways of the OnePlus 12R. Aside from the black, a new playful blue is also shown and matches to the hue of the charging case.

Leaker Evan Blass has also posted on X an alleged official marketing image of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 with the other contents of their retail packaging. Notably, the earbuds will come with replaceable ear tips, a two-tone USB-C charging cable, and the usual papers.

Besides the “flagship sound quality” line, it’s unclear what features or specs the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are bringing. Per rumor, the earbuds would boast new sound drivers and slightly lighter build. Plus, the battery capacity is said to be reduced compared to the OnePlus Buds Pro 3. It is safe to say the vital features are retained, including spatial audio, transparency mode, and adaptive noise-cancelling.

The cost of OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is expected to be unchanged, which is at $179, although pricing in other markets should vary. If you can’t wait for the 3rd gen in-ears, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are heavily discounted today over on Amazon.
