Outwardly, they resemble Apple AirPods and also have a touch panel at the end with customizable controls on the smartphone. A convenient function is an automatic pause: just remove one of the earbuds from the ear and playback will pause, return within three minutes – and it will continue. But unfortunately, one earbud cannot be used for calls – they work only in pairs.

There is only one size available, and there are no silicone pads, so they will not always stick well in the ears: depending on anatomy. The earbuds also have an IPX4 waterproof rating, which means they are not afraid of splashes and sweat.

Three built-in microphones provide suppression of external noise. But the feature, as noted by Engadget reviewers, does not work well: it does not filter unwanted sounds well. However, the interlocutor will not encounter the problem of background hiss or indistinct voice. Despite the large 13.4mm drivers, the earbuds deliver mediocre sound quality (likely due to the lack of sealing in the ear canal) and are more suitable for podcasting than listening to music. But it’s worth noting that OnePlus hasn’t released the final software yet, so the advertised bass boost may not be activated. It is also possible that in the future the situation will be improved by the equalizer on OnePlus smartphones.
