I usually buy the Soundcore earbuds and headphones but since I just bought the OnePlus 12 I decided to give these Buds 3 a go. They are amazing, sound quality is good and it's so stylish. My mom still uses the first One Plus Buds that came out several years ago and it still works perfectly and she uses it everyday.
Hey can you please tell if pro 2 has better sound quality or spatial audio than the 3? or is it otherwise? Also is in game latency as good as the buds 2 Pro?
I really appreciate the hard work you put into this. I got these 3 days ago and my experience matches yours. I like these as much as my Sennheiser TW3s and Nothing Ear 2s. Crazy value! They look awesome, too.
Bro ur work is really terrific, breaking down the experience in parts n then ranking them individually, pretty scientific….i remember that I had brought soundpeats h1 way back in 2020 after seeing ur review, they really served me well but after repeated falls over the years, the right side is gone completely…checked ur channel back n i see many improvements in presenting the facts for audiophiles, u r doing a great job man…i wish u many more subscribers as it is a niche segment…i realise the effort it takes to bring such detailed videos…more power to you👍👍
I just got this for my REPLACEMENT FOR soundcore as they kinda lagged alot after a year + of usuage . and I can say this was my best purchase ever of the buds 3 the sound quality blew me off and it won't fall off easily while running
Have you tested them for phone and video calls in regards to the microphone quality by any chance? I'm very interested in results of real-life conditions, not only imitated.
@@realbigtyrone I do! They are great. Very comfortable. Super light. The customizable touch options are great. And they really do cancel out 90% of all noise. Oh and they last me like a whole 2 months without needing to charge (I only use them when I got to the gym) so like 40 hours maybe lol
@@realbigtyrone crisp. I haven't really had wireless headphones before so I can't really compare to anything in the same category. But there is not white noise or muffleness or that cheap sound you get when you get the 10$ headphones from Walmart lol. They may not be air pro max or Sennheiser but they are solid 8.5/10 for sound. For me
Appreciate that you always preface the fit/comfort depends on individual's ears. The Buds 2 Pro were my favorite and comfortable buds, but in the silver color they constantly popped out during workouts. The Liberty 4 NC fit my ears the best and were very comparable in sound quality. Keep up the good work.
I didn't think that I would find earbuds that sounded better than my Sennheiser CX Plus or Edifier W240TN! I have twelve pair of earbuds including the AirPod Pro 2's. The are my new favorite. If these had Apple's H2 chip there would be no need to ever buy another pair of earbuds in my opinion unless you wanted a waterproof pair. The sound on these for me is superb with the Golden Sound profile, 3D Audio and the Bass Wave. Everything I listened to is just so much better in these. Thanks again Picky Audio for another excellent recommendation.
Love your honesty in your review especially the fact that 'all this high res stuff is driving me crazy!' when the difference is minimal. Dont go specs crazy. Just enjoy music at the level your ears can appreciate.
After almost 3 years to upgrade my earbuds, I've been searching the entirety over web and found your videos. Just top tier 🔥🔥🔥 Btw I'm gonna get buds 3.
Thanks for the video. I think you should consider to also add the sound quality test at the road you used to do. That's the way I found you thinking it was very good someone testing it in reality. So if that was added to the other test it would be great. Also if you want to do even more adding a quick comparison of 1-3 who is better to that.
I had a buds 2 pro and had to return it last week. The biggest issue for me was the shift in audio quality when going to from ANC to off mode. It's so different to the point where it started frustrating me. I am someone that barely uses anc so i have it off most of the time. But god the sound is horrible ( bass is non existent and the vocals are hollow ) in off mode. I used poweramp to get a better EQ setting but didn't get far.
Yea it’s a pretty big difference hey. Most buds have a pretty big EQ shift so I’ve been focusing on that in my latest reviews and adding it to my spreadsheet notes
@@pickyaudio airpods pro (2019) has near zero shift for me. As much as I criticize apple for their weird decisions, they nail simple day to day things like zero cabin pressure, ease of use, virtually no eq shift, clean tuning out of the box,etc. I ended up buying a Bose QC 2023 ( Over ear ) and waiting for it to get delivered to replace my air pods pro. I am so hyped!
Great job again. You really are one of the best. I bought the original Nothing earbuds years ago and they were absolute garbage. The volume was so low, they were unusable. I hope the newer ones are better, but I'll never buy another one of their products, once bitten. They weren't cheap at the time, either. I would love to try these one day, but I have so many earbuds...thanks to you mate, lol.
Cheers! Yep they were pretty bad but Nothing has improved the Ear 2 drastically and they are constantly improving/updating their products. After using the phone 2 a bit as well the quality you get for the price is amazing. Definitely worth giving them another go
I owned sen 3 . Sony x4 . Soundcore 3, 4 nc , and Samsung buds 2 pro. Tbh I like this one buds 3 . Same par with Samsung buds 2 Pro. But the Samsung a lil more warmth in dynamics. Get this you won't regret. The sound quality is up there with the big boys.
Thanks for the review. I tried adding a cost rating to your spreadsheet, and these buds then came out on top for me! Shame my phone doesn't support LHDC, but I'm thinking about these for in the office and for travel now (office once a week, very occasional travel). Thanks.
Awesome channel mate. I wonder why you score audio quality of the 1+ buds 2 and these over the airpods pro 2. Also weird anecdote my airpods pro 2's sound quality has died out over time. I tested them over a new pair and the difference was noticeable. Have you ever experienced anything like this?
Just got these! Tried the SoundPeats engine 4 but was pretty disappointed coming from Anker life A1. I felt you had to turn the volume higher than I prefer in order to get the bass coming through. These are perfect, serious bass, clean sound and fit well. Thanks for your reviews!
Just ordered a Oneplus12 and saw these earbuds as $100 extras and added these too the order on a whim...looks.like they are a good choice very excited by the review😊 can't wait for them to arrive!
@@pickyaudio thanks for the reponse! oneplus 3 buds are still the winner by a close hair! thanks for the spreadsheet and your awesome videos! i just started getting into earbuds/IEMs, and your videos have been so helpful!
OnePlus is really really really good. But OnePlus issues is battery damage. After 1 year use the battery backup will be worse. I used one plus buds pro but same issue. So I buy liberty 4 NC. It is good and overall balanced. But for sound quality and bass OnePlus is unbeatable. By only great issue OnePlus is loosing it's custome. Like green line issue. I also use OnePlus 9 pro. But green issue makes me pale. I will never buy OnePlus phone.
I am putting a lot of faith in you, because I just bought a pair. I'm very picky about my audio, but I've never been able to buy expensive listening devices. I'm really excited about these
For a minute there i thought I did something wrong. Lol😅. You're knocking the ball out of the park with these reviews. No other channel gives me so much info in a relatively short amount of time. Thank you. 💯👍🇺🇸
@@pickyaudio thanks for getting back! I have one last question. As I'm also a frequent gym guy, which one is more secure and offers the better noise isolation? Big thanks in advance 🙏
I have these and love them, I have had the Liberty 4, 4NC, and Nothing ear 2, and these are the overall best. I'm confused about the charging times, though. Are those times for when the case is plugged in to the outlet? Is it better to switch off ANC before putting them in the case, for a faster charge? Earbuds charge 10min for 2h playback doesn't seem accurate at all, it only charges ~10% in 10min so it can't have 2h playback!
Hi, can i ask if which one should i get between soundcore liberty 4 nc or oneplus buds 3. My priority is call quality and next is battery life. Thank you
I have two questions for you picky. 1- How is phone 2 nothing? 2- Among the soundpeats you tried, which one made the loudest sound? And im really love your videos. Keep going on!
How are oneplus 3s on ur basshead scale? More basshead bass than the liberty 4nc? Still looking for basshead buds. Disappointed with the bass on the liberty 3 pros. Buds FE have more low end rumbling bass. 75ts not available where im at.
I recently got a pair of these and is songs where there is a lot of S's or sounds that create that affect there is a lot of hissing even when not at high volume is this something you experienced?
Loved the video. Could you please tell me what earbuds hook to use for these? I mean what other Apple earbuds are similar to this OnePlus Buds 3 Shape. Because on Amazon they have benchmarked Apple Airpods for hooks they don't have hooks specifically for OnePlus buds 3. So if you could tell how exact this earbuds are to other Apple airpods it'll be great help. Thank you
I think the fit may be my issue. I use the large tips on my Pro 2's and the large tips for the Buds 3 must not fit as well. I'm getting much less volume/bass with the Buds 3 at max volume with Apple music capped at 100 decibels. So much so that I'm planning on returning them. Any ideas on cleaning the Pro 2's? I'm having lots of issues with mic quality (siri never understands me) and my in ear detection gets set off all the time (seemingly from sunshine or some shit) PS Tool FTW
@@pickyaudio nope they’ve only been used for 5 hours at best. I’m using the Hey Melody app with the exact same custom EQ and basswave. I also wish the swipe for volume did more than 5% with each swipe, any way to change that? Maybe it’s an Apple only issue IDK. I thought you mentioned that the medium ear tips made it sound worse on the Buds 3 for you, so I’m having the same issue with the large ones, problem is I don’t have a larger size to use like you did.
Thanks for your content! I would really appreciate your reply to the following. Even though it might sound unexpected, I'm comparing Oneplus Buds 3 with Technics EAH-AZ80. Details below. I know AZ80s as I'd been using them for a couple of weeks. They sound amazing. The only thing to mention is that in some songs the sound is pretty shrill, so it gets uncomfortable sometimes (not too often). But I can't say I'm satisfied with the fit. These are my first in-ear headphones, so maybe I'm just not yet used to having something actually in my ears, but I feel them pretty clearly, I would love to have a lighter feeling, to be honest. The ANC was good enough. And the microphone performance though was good enough only for quiet environment. It was mostly not acceptable to talk to people via AZ80 from outside because of some light wind or moderate surrounding noise. So based on that, I started looking for an alternative. AirPods Pro 2 turned out to have cleaner sounding mic but only for not windy conditions. The ANC is definitely better. But the sound signature... I just don't feel energy in music coming from them (as opposed to AZ80), so I realized I don't enjoy music with APP2. I guess the main things I noticed - the sound stage is narrower, and there is not enough details in highs to me, also they seem to have much less lower bass (even though I'm not a bass lover). So I ended up returning them. And then I've met these Oneplus Buds 3. I understand they are almost 3 times cheaper than AZ80, so I don't expect them to be close to each other in all disciplines. And the problem is they sold out, so I can't try them out. So I would be grateful if you share your thoughts, maybe this will help me to understand if they are worth waiting for the stock availability or I should skip them. So, the questions are: 1) How big is the sound quality difference between Buds 3 and AZ80 (subjectively, of course)? I love the instrument separation, wide sound stage, the clarity and and crispness of AZ80. How far the Buds 3 are from AZ80 in this? 2) How different Buds 3 from AZ80 in the feeling in the ears? 3) Is there a remarkable difference in the mic performance in noisy and windy conditions? I listened to the mic tests, so based on them Buds 3 seem to have way much better microphones, but maybe you have wider testing experience with both of them and can tell more details? Thanks a lot!
What would you suggest between AirPods Pro 2 vs these? I’m a college student and I’d say I prioritize sound quality of my music while I study over other aspects, as outside noise doesn’t bother me too much
Another fantastic video w comparison of the best. If you get a chance can you review the realme air 5 pro? They seem to go head to head with these, many reviewers claiming to be better than buds 3. Would love to get a review from your channel as it's my fav audio channel. Cheers!
I am super confused between Bose QuiteComfort II Buds and Bose QuiteComfort Ultra Buds. Could you please help me select the best pair for listening to music and ANC? PLEASE
My RHA wireless buds that I got in 2018 just died after a good long life. I think these buds 3 look like that perfect replacement. The price is so good
Do you recommend eartip replacements for these such as the SpinFit CP1025, SednaEarfit Xelastec or any others? Do you know the nozzle diameter on the oneplus bud3? Also would cheap Magnetic AirPods Straps fit the oneplus and do you think it would get in the way of the touch controls? TIA
i really need an answer does it work well with ios? like connectivity wise? do they auto connect after you first pair them? like airpods when you open them do they connect or do i have to go to bluetooth every time thanks for the answer
Hey can you give me an alternate choices for this one cuz in my country I dont have access to the new products for about half a year after they were introduced
How good is this for attending office meetings and when trying to speak in public places which is having noise like railway stations, etc... is this good particularly for office meetings to attend like teams, zoom calling for corporate meetings???
Never heard of, added to cart while I paused the video. I’ve been using SoundCore liberty 4 for cheaper yet good sounding bud. These are intriguing. I’m not huge on shiny but I could get over it for some shiny sound.
Hi which earbuds should i buy, the Oneplus buds 3 or the nothing cmf buds pro 2 Which of these would say are better for watching Videos like yours or listening to music and which of these would you recommend or buy yourself?
This qas honestly the best review for a pair of earbuds ive ever seen, hands down !!! Loved every detail, thanks for all the effort :) So glad i found this review PS: have you ever encountered any sort of battery drain issues with oneplus buds pro 2, the buds pro 1 were completely useless after a time, I just wanted to know if its worth buying oneplus earbuds again
Hi! I Need a little help. I have the Sennheiser CX Plus SE, and I just bought the OnePlus 12. I'm facing some connection issues with the Sennheisers, so I'm thinking of buying the Buds 3. My main question is, are these better in sound quality than my CX Plus? I prefer clearer vocals in my audio preferences. Thank you.
Full customisation, a combo of squeeze controls and swipe gestures. And skin detection for the wearing detection. That’s the ultimate control to me haha
I am a professional music producer, and I can promise you that 99.9999999999% of professional masters are exported in 24bit 44.1kHz. So 96kHz is just adding data points that don't do anything. Depending on the codec, they can even miscalculate some data points. And that only distorts the audio. If you like that distortion, cool I guess, but it's maybe not the reason you think it is.

So if you could tell how exact this earbuds are to other Apple airpods it'll be great help. Thank you
I think the fit may be my issue. I use the large tips on my Pro 2's and the large tips for the Buds 3 must not fit as well. I'm getting much less volume/bass with the Buds 3 at max volume with Apple music capped at 100 decibels. So much so that I'm planning on returning them. Any ideas on cleaning the Pro 2's? I'm having lots of issues with mic quality (siri never understands me) and my in ear detection gets set off all the time (seemingly from sunshine or some shit)
PS Tool FTW
Yea interesting Iv'e never had that issue. And the volume especially with apple music should be fine. Is there ear wax built up on the driver?
@@pickyaudio nope they’ve only been used for 5 hours at best. I’m using the Hey Melody app with the exact same custom EQ and basswave. I also wish the swipe for volume did more than 5% with each swipe, any way to change that? Maybe it’s an Apple only issue IDK.
I thought you mentioned that the medium ear tips made it sound worse on the Buds 3 for you, so I’m having the same issue with the large ones, problem is I don’t have a larger size to use like you did.
What phone/streaming app are you using?

Thanks for your content! I would really appreciate your reply to the following. Even though it might sound unexpected, I'm comparing Oneplus Buds 3 with Technics EAH-AZ80. Details below.
I know AZ80s as I'd been using them for a couple of weeks. They sound amazing. The only thing to mention is that in some songs the sound is pretty shrill, so it gets uncomfortable sometimes (not too often).
But I can't say I'm satisfied with the fit. These are my first in-ear headphones, so maybe I'm just not yet used to having something actually in my ears, but I feel them pretty clearly, I would love to have a lighter feeling, to be honest.
The ANC was good enough.
And the microphone performance though was good enough only for quiet environment. It was mostly not acceptable to talk to people via AZ80 from outside because of some light wind or moderate surrounding noise.
So based on that, I started looking for an alternative.
AirPods Pro 2 turned out to have cleaner sounding mic but only for not windy conditions.
The ANC is definitely better.
But the sound signature... I just don't feel energy in music coming from them (as opposed to AZ80), so I realized I don't enjoy music with APP2. I guess the main things I noticed - the sound stage is narrower, and there is not enough details in highs to me, also they seem to have much less lower bass (even though I'm not a bass lover).
So I ended up returning them.
And then I've met these Oneplus Buds 3.
I understand they are almost 3 times cheaper than AZ80, so I don't expect them to be close to each other in all disciplines.
And the problem is they sold out, so I can't try them out. So I would be grateful if you share your thoughts, maybe this will help me to understand if they are worth waiting for the stock availability or I should skip them.
So, the questions are:
1) How big is the sound quality difference between Buds 3 and AZ80 (subjectively, of course)?
I love the instrument separation, wide sound stage, the clarity and and crispness of AZ80. How far the Buds 3 are from AZ80 in this?
2) How different Buds 3 from AZ80 in the feeling in the ears?
3) Is there a remarkable difference in the mic performance in noisy and windy conditions?
I listened to the mic tests, so based on them Buds 3 seem to have way much better microphones, but maybe you have wider testing experience with both of them and can tell more details?
Thanks a lot!
What would you suggest between AirPods Pro 2 vs these? I’m a college student and I’d say I prioritize sound quality of my music while I study over other aspects, as outside noise doesn’t bother me too much
Another fantastic video w comparison of the best. If you get a chance can you review the realme air 5 pro? They seem to go head to head with these, many reviewers claiming to be better than buds 3. Would love to get a review from your channel as it's my fav audio channel. Cheers!
I am super confused between Bose QuiteComfort II Buds and Bose QuiteComfort Ultra Buds. Could you please help me select the best pair for listening to music and ANC? PLEASE
Ultra
Yep go for the Ultra
My RHA wireless buds that I got in 2018 just died after a good long life. I think these buds 3 look like that perfect replacement. The price is so good
Do you recommend eartip replacements for these such as the SpinFit CP1025, SednaEarfit Xelastec or any others? Do you know the nozzle diameter on the oneplus bud3? Also would cheap Magnetic AirPods Straps fit the oneplus and do you think it would get in the way of the touch controls? TIA
This or soundcore liberty nc...which was better noice cancellation?
ey boss thx for the vid! do you have an updated eq? i listen to metal & i like bass. thank u!!
Why did you never talk about Marshall Motif 2? I cant find one video of you talking about it :(
I love your videos thats the reason why i am always looking for Mershall Motif 2 review will there be one?
Thanks! I’m already backed up with testing but I’ll keep them in mind 👍
i love this dude i have been looking for good buds for cheap and these reviews are amazing
Do you recommend those for Samsung s24 ultra that does not support lhdc codecs?
i really need an answer does it work well with ios? like connectivity wise? do they auto connect after you first pair them? like airpods when you open them do they connect or do i have to go to bluetooth every time thanks for the answer
They work perfectly on my iPhone 15 pro.
@@pickyaudio when you open the case does it auto connect to your iphone? when you have first paird it?
The sorta hard work you have put into making this video... thumbs up to you 👍
Do the Buds 3 work with Microsoft teams?
You are a pro! Subscribed (and just bought buds 3)
Hey can you give me an alternate choices for this one cuz in my country I dont have access to the new products for about half a year after they were introduced
This is the best ever detailed review 👌
Was the Liberty 4 used in the comparison the NC or or the original ones?
NC
Thanks!
Another great Picky review 💯 but how do these stack up against the Free Pro 3?
Cheers BJ! Buds 3 much better overall
How good is this for attending office meetings and when trying to speak in public places which is having noise like railway stations, etc... is this good particularly for office meetings to attend like teams, zoom calling for corporate meetings???
Never heard of, added to cart while I paused the video. I’ve been using SoundCore liberty 4 for cheaper yet good sounding bud. These are intriguing. I’m not huge on shiny but I could get over it for some shiny sound.
This really helped me, the buds 3 are extremely good for their value, very accurate review👍💪
Excellent review as always - helpful, thorough and clear.
Hi which earbuds should i buy, the Oneplus buds 3 or the nothing cmf buds pro 2
Which of these would say are better for watching Videos like yours or listening to music and which of these would you recommend or buy yourself?
This qas honestly the best review for a pair of earbuds ive ever seen, hands down !!!
Loved every detail, thanks for all the effort :)
So glad i found this review
PS: have you ever encountered any sort of battery drain issues with oneplus buds pro 2, the buds pro 1 were completely useless after a time,
I just wanted to know if its worth buying oneplus earbuds again
Thanks, glad you liked it! I have not experienced any batter drain issue and having heard about it in my comment sections
Could you add the huawei freebuds? They seem great for calls but the controls aren't the best, however, the mics are great.
you need to test the redmi buds 5 pro. claim to have anc up to 52db got hi res audio with price under 60usd
Thanks for the heads up 👍
what do u think about qcy ht05 in 2024? i bought these for someone for 35bucs it should be decent?
I wonder if there is a difference in sound between the global and Chinese versions OnePlus Buds 3
Just bought buds 3 for 42$ in India, great bang for the buck at that price
Very nice 👍
Do you think replacing my ear 2s with these is worth it, considering battery life, sound quality and ANC?
Not worth it unless you want really need that extra battery
Hi!
I Need a little help. I have the Sennheiser CX Plus SE, and I just bought the OnePlus 12. I'm facing some connection issues with the Sennheisers, so I'm thinking of buying the Buds 3. My main question is, are these better in sound quality than my CX Plus? I prefer clearer vocals in my audio preferences.
Thank you.
Great Review Btw🔥
So… buds 3 can use spatial audio with every phone? Even if I dont have a oneplus phone? Right?
Yep. It just doesn’t have head tracking
@@pickyaudio thanks for the answer. Dolby atmos head tracking would be perfect…
What would you want to give to earbuds 10/10 on controls?
I'm just curious
Full customisation, a combo of squeeze controls and swipe gestures. And skin detection for the wearing detection. That’s the ultimate control to me haha
Thank you for another great one, Picky! 👍
Thanks for watching!
hiii bro
few day back i lost my op buds pro 2's charging case
so im planning to buy op buds 3
can i charge my buds 2 pro with buds 3's charging case?
I am a professional music producer, and I can promise you that 99.9999999999% of professional masters are exported in 24bit 44.1kHz. So 96kHz is just adding data points that don't do anything. Depending on the codec, they can even miscalculate some data points. And that only distorts the audio. If you like that distortion, cool I guess, but it's maybe not the reason you think it is.
Thank you 👍
@@pickyaudio Thank you for your efforts! I imagine these videos take a lot of work and dedication.
I wonder how the LG T90 Dolby Atmos compares
Hi, how is it that your ranking for Liberty 4nc keeps dropping? Initially it was ranked on par with Samsung buds 2 pro but now it's one rank down.
Thinking the same. Don't know why. But it is strange
I bought the oneplus buds 3 because of this review. Thank you!
How is it performing? Fit,ANC and music??
Little question, what app do we have to use on Android non-Oneplus phones to set the EQ ? Couldn't find an app on the Play Store...
Hey melody
Is it really better sounding earbud than pixel buds pro!!?
It’s pretty close I prefer the buds 3 and the customisation is much better
Are your earbuds commands voice in Chinese or English?? Pls reply fast
Chinese if it's CN version and English if it's global version.
