- A leaker hinted that a new set of OnePlus Buds might be launched.
- Unlike the newly launched Buds Pro, these buds will be cheaper, but still retain ANC.
- These are probably Buds 2.
However, the leaker Max Jambor Recently on Twitter And claimed that there may be a new set of works in production. Jambor suggested that these unreleased earplugs can also be equipped with ANC, but it will lower the price.
Check out the following tweet:
1+ is developing a new-lower price-headset with ANC. Some kind of abbreviated version of Buds Pro
I really like Buds Pro, so I am curious what those cheaper products have to offer
Jambor suggested that these may be “some kind of abbreviated version of Buds Pro” which sounds confusing, but in short, this is OnePlus’ earbuds portfolio. If this rumor is true, we hope that OnePlus will cut some of the more advanced features of Buds Pro-such as the wireless charging box-and keep only the essentials.
If OnePlus can provide a set of ANC earplugs for less than $150, it will not only weaken its Buds Pro, but also weaken the just-launched Galaxy Buds 2. Samsung’s Buds and Buds Pro are priced at $150, so OnePlus may feel the need to respond.
Let us hope that these new earplugs can be as simple as OnePlus Buds 2. But hey, we won’t let the company launch it as a product like OnePlus Buds Z Pro Lite.
