With OnePlus set to launch the OnePlus Nord phone this month, it would exist an opportune moment for it to also introduce a new pair of headphones as a potential partner peripheral to the smartphone. The Nord is shaping up to be a well-specced phone priced very competitively, so we'd too await the wireless earbuds to have a wallet-friendly price tag.

OnePlus' previous Bullets headphones, including OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2, take been praised for delivering solid audio quality for a competitive price. Just they never actually set the earbuds world alight, particularly given there are other loftier-quality truly-wireless earbuds in the marketplace that are likewise rather affordable.

Just OnePlus could change that with its fully-wireless earbuds, likely named the OnePlus Buds. If OnePlus can produce a pair of wireless earbuds that deliver potent audio quality, coupled with a neat design, OnePlus' rapid-charging tech, and a low toll, then it could be onto a winner. Such a pair of earbuds could face off confronting the likes of the Pixel Buds 2, Milky way Buds Plus and Apple AirPods.

We'd also similar to see OnePlus do something a little different with its wireless earbuds. The Bullets, for case, allowed music to automatically when the headphones were removed from the wearer'southward ears and connected together using the buds' magnetic backs. We're expecting the OnePlus Nord to launch later this month, so there's a chance we could notice out more nearly OnePlus' commencement truly-wireless earbuds rather soon.
